Hood River News, Saturday, July 11, 2015 A3 The Ale List Tip the Volkanische Vijf, (or, how a 3-way collaboration celebrates a 5) By KIRBY NEUMANN-REA News editor Volcanic Bottle Shoppe on the Heights hosts a fifth-an- niversary party today with plenty of ales to choose from but a special one in honor of the occasion — Volkanische Vijf from Solera Brewery and Everybody’s Brewing. The Vijf – “five” in Flemish, one of Belgium’s official lan- guages — is a low-alcohol brew modeled on the Berlin- er Weiss (wheat) tradition. The name adjustment hap- pened because, “It turned out a little on the Belgian side more than the German as far as the esters go,” said Jason Kahler, Solera brew- master and owner. The Volkanische comes out at about 2.8 ABV, and Kahler called it “super quenching, mildly tart, and zero bitterness units — not a hop in sight.” He said Volcanic owners Abe Stevens and Amanda Goeke approached him about a year ago about an anniver- sary beer. Kahler said, “At about the time they called to remind me I was already working on a collaboration with my friends at Everybody’s Brew- ing,” namely chief brewer Jess Caudill and owner Doug Ellenberger of the White Salmon brewery. “So I suggested a three- way collaboration, as Every- body’s is a lot larger than Solera and you get a lot more beer out of it for everyone,” Kahler said. “It was a beer we had all talked about doing together.” The unhopped wheat is “a very simple beer. There are not a lot of differ- ent ways to do it,” Kahler said. “It’s 20 percent wheat, 80 percent Pilsner malt, and no hops, that’s a huge flavor profile you can play with it and it’s not in there,” Kahler said. The tartness comes from the use of lactobacillus in- stead of saccharomyces yeast. The lactobacillus has a chance to convert the sugar into lactic acid, and once it gets the proper acidity or tartness we want, then we add the yeast and it will come in and clean up the sugar and convert that into alcohol,” Kahler said. “There is a very small amount of grain and a lot of water, for a low-alcohol, light body beer,” he said. “I wouldn’t quite use the word sour, it’s very tart, not really mouth puckering but really quenching with some- thing like a lemonade char- acter,” he said. “It’s definitely very spe- cial,” Stevens said. “Doug is a personal friend of ours from Indiana and with Jason we were able to debut Solera beer here four years ago, so it’s nice to have that tie-in to celebrate our fifth anniver- sary.” The party starts at 5 p.m. with music by Matt Mesa and Mark Reynolds, followed by the trio 23rd and Union, and Smudgepot taking the late night spot. Positive Light Productions will be in the house, and Boda’s Kitchen will have eats available start- ing at 5 p.m. Moth Lounge concludes metamorphosis (mostly) Jules Bur ton’s Moth Loung e (for merly Pint Shack) features new signage by metal artist Kelly Phipps, a new interior mural by Ethan Radcliff, and a new set of blackboards to post the ever-changing list of beers, ciders, and wines (cocktails also served). The name comes from Burton’s fascination with the social creatures known as moths (she’s a college sci- ence professor but is taking the summer off to float Moth Lounge). “They like to follow the light and flock together,” Burton said. Tuesday night open mic talent nights and Monday night movies (kids welcome until 8 p.m.) are reg- ular features on the schedule at the pub, on Third between Oak and Cascade. The metamorphosis from Pint Shack will be complete once Burton reworks the menu, adds a mural or two, and gets the backlighting in- stalled on the Phipps signs outside. ■ More Ale List online at www.hoodrivernews.com Jason Kahler Calling All Softball Players 12U ASA Tryouts for the 2016 Spring Season for the NEW Gorge Softball team will be held in August.
