Brew with the Brewer!

Uptown Market  & Widmer Brothers Brewing Team Up for the Ultimate Homebrew Clone Experience!

On Saturday, April 14 Uptown Market  is excited to host a special brewing education event with Widmer Brother’s Brewer Ben Dobler and Jacob Leonard. In this special 4 hour session Ben and Jacob will demonstrate how to make Widmer Pitch Black IPA, while guests ask questions and the West side’s favorite new bottle and homebrew shop pours samples. Everyone is welcome, from the never-brewed beer drinker, to the expert home brewer. We will brew a clone of Widmer’s Pitch Black IPA and guests will be able to enjoy Pitch Black IPA while they learn how it is made, what is made from and be able to ask the brewer himself any questions that cross their mind. Brew with the Brewer is scheduled to begin at 2 pm Saturday, April 14th and is FREE to the public!

We are going to have all of our 6 taps full of Widmer Beer!  One of the beers is going to be the collaboration that Uptown Market participated on at the Pilot System at the Rose Quarter.  We will have their Spiced IPA, Drifter, Alt, Dark Saizon and of course the Pitch Black on tap as well.
