Oki’s “No IPA” Beer Tasting! (2026)

Are you interested in beer but tired of how much IPAs dominate the taps? Looking for something new and flavorful instead of bitter and full of broken dreams? I might have a brew for you! As much as I enjoy beer, I abhor IPAs so I’ve made it a point to seek out a variety of more pleasant alternatives to the over-hopped flavors of IPAs. From stouts to wheats, fruits ales to reds, lagers to blondes, there’s so much more to beer than what’s the most overhyped. I invite you to taste a small selection of beers, mostly local to Oregon, in hopes you can find something to better wet that whistle.

Beer List (finished list TBD but here’s a tease!):

-Binary Brewing Motherboard Milk Stout

-Golden Road Mango Cart Wheat

-Samuel Smith Chocolate Stout

-Sunriver Fuzztail Hefeweizen

-Tiny Giants Laser Eyes Jasmine Rice Lager

-Binary Brewing Virtual Redality Red Ale

-Occidental Kolsch

-Sunriver Cocoa Cow Stout

Got something you’d like to share? Guest pours are welcome! Let’s bond over some good beers!!

Similar to Fake’s Cider tasting - limited seats available, sign up while you can, I can’t promise I’ll have enough beer to go around if you’re not on the list, but you’re welcome to come along and see what makes it down the table.

When? I’m thinking Friday evening, before dinner so likely around 4ish. Should give all those doubling up with Fake’s happening (like me) a good break and meal between happenings.

Bring your own cup! AND BRING WATER.
