_Seasons Greetings_ Microbrew holiday beer a real treat nnnn beef ihefoodot the gods As one local f\commercial put it. beer won't make you smart, but it sure tastes good Beer enthusiasts and con sumers will have plenty of bever ages to choose from as Eugene's five microbreweries churn out hundreds of gallons of dark, spe cialized beer that are only avail able during the holiday season Standing by 10-foot-high steel drums that hold as much as 450 gallons of beer, David Sohigian. head brewer of Field's Restau rant and Brewpub, said he doesn't have quite enough beer to keep up with demand "Sales have been great, but we're going to run out — real fast," Sohigian said of the hop scotch ale. a full-bodied, malt beer that has been a hit with restaurant patrons. After the hop scotch ale is gone, no more will be brewed, Sohigian said But the Field's brewer is planning on putting out 15 barrels of marionberry porter for consumers this week He said he also began brewing an oat meal stout Thursday, and the stout will be available for con sumption in three weeks. At Steelhead Brewery, general manager Jeff Passerotti said, he hopes that his restaurant's holi day brew — a wild rice beer that is yet to be named — is as suc cessful as last year's Rose Bowl bitter and ginger ale. If the wild rice beer catches on with Eugene patrons. 310 gallons of the beverage could be gone in two weeks, Passerotti said Steelhead Brewery will also be selling a sparkling, hard cider during the winter. Since the Ducks are going to the Cotton Bowl, Passerotti said that his brewery may put a Cotton Bowl beer on the market as well. High Street Cate and Brewery and East 19th Cate will botn have their popular Kris Kringle, a smooth beer produced by Edge field Breweries, available again in December. The Kris Knngle is made from such ingredients as star amse, chamomile, nutmeg, r. i *N0«( W itf IAI * I H-.K K !

Eugene residents as well as Oregon beer drinkers are spoiled when it comes to their choice of microbrewed beer. Sohigtan said of Field’s brewery 'Oregon's a hotbed for beer," he said "It's well known all over the country that Oregon is the best place to go" According to the Oregon Brew er's Guild, Oregon has more small breweries and brew pubs per capita than anywhere else in the United States The guild also said that 30 percent of the world's hops are grown in the Northwest, and that the Klamath Basin atone produced 30,000 tons ot malt barley each year fly Abe Estimada WUNPERIANP Sttt STREET PU8LIC MARKET 683-8464 ' - v»coAPviinms VAillY wrvtw PVAIA VUUVa GO DUCKS!
