Oregon brewery brings mobile beer bar to Cincinnati


Greater Cincinnati will host Deschutes Brewery’s traveling bar, Woody, at several stops throughout the week. Although the company’s beer has been available in Ohio since 2014, it’s the first time the 29-foot-long, 3-ton keg will visit.
 
Woody will have six Deschutes beers on tap and will bring along cornhole boards, a disc golf basket and a disco ball. The beer list is still being finalized but will for sure include Pinedrops IPA, Jubelale, Black Butte Porter, Mirror Pond Pale Ale and Fresh Squeezed as well as a limited beer release.
 
All beers available from Woody’s taps are $5.
 
Woody will be at four events around town:

• Wednesday, Oct. 21 (4-8 p.m.): Happy Hour at The Pub at Rookwood, 2692 Madison Road.

• Thursday, Oct. 22 (5-9 p.m.): Pint Night at Jungle Jim’s Eastgate, 4450 Eastgate Dr. South.

• Friday, Oct. 23 (5-9 p.m.): Jungle Jim's Eastgate, also featuring vintage bottles of previous Deschutes releases and specialty draft offerings.

• Saturday, Oct. 24 (12-8 p.m.): Jungle Jim’s Fall Smash, 5440 Dixie Hwy., Fairfield.
 
Deschutes began operations in 1988 as a small public house in Bend, Ore., and now operates three pubs and distributes to bars, bottle shops and restaurants across the country.
