On July 18th we celebrate St. Arnold’s Day- the Patron Saint of Beer.

In medieval times access to clean drinking water scarce, making beer essential to life. St. Arnold gladly brewed the beer for local peasants and encouraged them to drink it instead of water.

What better way to celebrate than with some Belgian-style ales. We have saved a keg of our Ideaal Tripel, which we will be tapping in honor of St. Arnold, and of course, we will have our award winning Belgian Style Optimal Wit on tap as well.

Calling all hop lovers! This year for National IPA Day we are hosting an ALL IPA Guided Pairing with our friends at Old Blue BBQ.

At Port City, we brew three IPAs year-round, flagships Monumental IPA and Integral IPA and our house beer Ways & Means Session IPA. Each IPA has their own distinctive flavor and character which  provides endless opportunities to pair with a variety of diverse foods. We are diving nose-first into this hopped-up pairing to showcase our IPAs with perfectly paired food. In addition to our year round offerings, special for this event, our brewers will be filling two firkins and offering a twist to our classics.

On Friday, August 2nd we welcome back our most popular seasonal beer, Oktoberfest! Our Oktoberfest is a traditional Märzen-style lager is a brilliant amber stunner, featuring gently sweet flavors of crusty bread and a clean finish punctuated by a soft touch of noble hops.

Oktoberfest will be available on draft by the stein, and to go in 6-packs, growlers, crowlers, and kegs.

To celebrate the return of the Oktoberfest, we will be opening our doors at noon. We have invited Das Pretzel Haus to be serving their traditional style pretzels, and we will have a food truck on site as well.

Start your week off with a Monday evening run from Port City Brewing Company.

The run meets at the brewery tasting room before heading out for a 1, 3 or 5 mile run (it’s an out and back route so really it’s as long as you care to make it). It’s a pleasant route through a park and then picking up a paved path along Holmes Run.

Expect a fun crowd, support from Pacers Running staff, and occasionally vendors will be there with shoes to try out on the run.
