Tasting Notes
The Governor was conceived and brewed to honor past Oregon governor Tom McCall. During his time as governor in the late sixties and early seventies, McCall played an instrumental role in the passing of the Oregon Beach Bill which protected Oregon’s beaches and dedicated them to public access forever. Raise a toast to Governor Tom McCall for his farsighted actions that have preserved everyone’s ability to enjoy the entire wild and beautiful Oregon Coast. The Governor is a strong golden lager brewed in the Maibock style. With a generous malt bill providing body and depth, and Oregon-grown Sterling hops giving a subtle floral hop character, The Governor finishes both bold and balanced.
I watched a pretty great documentary on public television about Tom McCall. What a guy. The Governor tastes of honey and bread, and is light, crisp, and refreshing. I love bocks; in a sea of Oregon IPAs, drinking a bock is a refreshing change. I dug it.
