  Sellwood’s Muddy Rudder

  Posted: March 22nd, 2009, 10:27pm CET by Thom

  

  The Muddy Rudder in Sellwood

  Trying out Sellwood’s Muddy Rudder. Lovely old wood décor. Feels very throw-back with old model boats and a bus or trolley sign from a few decades ago. Comfy benches and nautical knick-knacks mix easily with a decent beer and wine selection. The menu, however, isn’t the working-class pub fare we hoped for. Rather, it’s just on the wrong side of hippy and frou-frou. Still, we’ll be back again, because this place just feels right.

  FirkinFest #7 and 8

  Posted: March 22nd, 2009, 1:35am CET by Thom

  Lucky Labrador’s Super Dog IPA was a bitter delicious hop bomb. Cascade hops, would be my guess but I’m getting drunk and prone to guessing.

  And I managed to get some of the last HUB 150. Outstanding. A lady next to us said she didn’t like floral hop characteristics of the HUB 150. Which, to me, is like saying you don’t like America. Anyway, it’s a floral, citrusy hop syrup. Drink with abandon!

  And I just found another ticket. Not sure what I’ll try next. I’ve heard good thing about the Rogue Ales Mogul strong ale. We’ll see…

  FirkinFest # 6

  Posted: March 22nd, 2009, 12:30am CET by Thom

  FirkinFest joke:

  How’s that beer? Firkin’ great!

  Anyhoo. Am trying the Laurelwood Workhorse IPA. Delicious. It’s what I refer to as a full-mouth IPA, because it hits all the IPA notes with their blend of hops. Well played, Laurelwood. Well-played.

  FirkinFest #5

  Onto our fifth beer, the Roots Nevermind Pale Ale. Laura says it tastes like bug juice (in a good way) and Andrew says he’s annihilated his taste buds so can’t comment.

  I think Roots Nevermind has a nice bitterness for only 35 IBU. I actually wonder if that’s a typo because it seems to have more bitterness than that.

  Anyhoo. Wondering what to do with the last food ticket: cheese or sausage? Thoughts? Tweet us: @bsbrewing.
