Celebrate the best of the fall season in Corvallis, Oregon on Saturday when the Oregon State University Beavers take on Stanford in their final PAC 12 football matchup. The OSU Alumni Association will be hosting a great tailgate – Beavs, Brews & BBQs – at Tailgate Town on the campus of OSU beginning at 11:30am.
The Beavs, Brews & BBQs Tailgate definitely lives up to its name. The three-hour tailgate will feature Oregon Agricultural Trust’s Cheers to the Land brewery collaboration beers and mouthwatering BBQ from four pitmasters!
When it comes to the Cheers to the Land beers, the Oregon Agricultural Trust will be on hand serving up three of its beers brewed in collaboration with 10 Barrel Brewing, Block 15 Brewing and Crux Fermentation Project. Each of these beers are brewed solely with Oregon grown ingredients.
- 10 Barrel Brewing – Northwest Pale Ale with Oregon-grown Great Western malt, Mecca Pale and Crystal malt both from Central Oregon, and El Dorado hops from Crosby Hop Farm.
- Block 15 Brewing – West Coast Pale Ale featuring Oregon Promise malt, a Salmon-Safe variety from the OSU barley breeding program malted by Mainstem Malt, and Cascade hops from B&D farms in St. Paul.
- Crux Fermentation Project – West Coast India Pale Ale with all Oregon ingredients, including Salmon-Safe grains from NE Oregon, malted by Gold Rush Malt in Baker City, Centennial hops from Goschie Farms in Silverton, and Cascade hops from Crosby Hop Farm in Woodburn.
In addition to the Cheers to the Land Beers being served, four pitmasters will be grilling up meats from local purveyors like Painted Hills and Carlton Farms. Patrons will be able to vote for their favorite brisket and pork belly along with all the side dishes for a tasty meal. You can engage with the pitmasters about barbecuing techniques while checking out their cooking setups as they cook through Friday night into Saturday for the event.
The Beavs, Brews & BBQs will also feature live music from Party of 4 and will also honor Veteran’s Day. Attendees will have the opportunity to contribute to the OSU Foundation Veterans Fund, check out a military service vehicle and pick up some cool swag, and observe a special color guard ceremony in partnership with the OSU Military and Veteran Resources Center.
