USA, OR: Bine Valley Brewing launching on December 8
When Bine Valley Brewing owner Donny Raisanen tasted the beers for his upcoming brewery, they didn't turn out exactly how he expected them to, the Statesman Journal reported on December 8.
"I kept saying, 'it's sort of,' 'it's kind of like,' and so I kind of decided to go with it," Raisanen said, days before his Dec. 8 opening.
That's how he came up with the names of his three opening sessions: Kinda Hoppy, Maybe Porter and Sorta Pale.
Raisanen is a homebrewer turned brewery owner, setting up shop in the former Salem Ale Works space. Alongside his three founding beers, Raisanen will have a selection of local favorites on tap like Salem Ale Works' Hootenanny Honey Basil and Santiam Infiltrator Pilsner.
To celebrate his opening, Raisanen is throwing a party. Foodology Mobile Kitchen will serve its American fare on December 8, while JT's food truck will serve tacos on December 9. The brewery will raffle merch like pint glasses and shirts, and the beer will flow — even if it's kinda-sorta-maybe different than expected.
