Inversion IPA w/buttermilk marinated salt 'n peppa fried chicken with flash fried sage & rosemary and yukon gold scalloped taters 'o gratin:) Inversion is has a predominantly malty finish with some fresh hops in the background...the sweetness offset the savory chicken...I like.

Beef Mechado and Mongo IPA

Monday meal...Mechado 'n Mongo IPA...slow braised tomato, lemon, laurel leaf, garlic and onion beef with a savory sauce that has a citrus punch...a traditional Filipino dish inspired by my late Ninong Ruperto who often times had this yummin

ess prepared at their S.F. home when we visited. He was the Godfather and guiding light who helped many Filipino immigrants settle and find jobs in S.F. throughout the 60's and 70's...many thanks to you Ninong Joe...salamat po!

MBO Video highlights:)

MBO (Mountain Bike Oregon is a 3 day celebration of bikes, beer and grub...the ultimate vibe for a great time with you and your closest 300 trail riding brethren.  Miles and miles of singletrack heaven await.  On the trail menu, you will find copious amounts of "super-flow singletrack, rocky trail gnar, lush fern lined redwood forest, bunchgrass meadows, exposed annual grassland ledges, sweeping multiple ridge views of majestic peaks and blue water lakes, and awesome afternoon vistas.  Once you've had your singletrack fill, then take a quick dip in the icy cool Wilamette River and settle down for an Oregon IPA session featuring beers from Hopworks and Ninkasi and other local faves.  Check this vid for a feel for the cool vibe and go get your MBO or take a personal tour with the Cog Wild crew.
