About
Four lifelong Oregonians got together on February 13, 2009 and decided that their knowledge of locale and understanding of craft beer could be an excellent starting point for a business. Later that year Hop Valley Brewing had its debut in Springfield, Oregon, but grew too large for its 15-barrel capacity and opened a new 60-barrel brewhouse and taproom in Eugene in 2013. In July 2016 MillerCoors acquired a majority stake of Hop Valley through its Tenth and Blake craft beer and import division. Hop Valley Brewing Company will operate as a separate business unit of Tenth and Blake.

Light Me Up Lager from Hop Valley Brewing Company

Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours gold with a white head. Grainy aroma with minimal hop. Not quite med body. Grainy flavor - not much hop - and the flavor turns rather unpleasant. In a blind tasting I’d likely identify it as Bud - tho that may be unfair since I haven’t tasted Bud in many, many years. Anyway - DP.

Draught at the Office in San Carlos for the Portugal v. France Euro 2016 Final. Overt citrus with moderate pine adding nice balance. Hazy orange with full white head that retained throughout the drink. Taste follows the aroma profile. Enjoyable.
