Oregon Bartenders Guild

Iron Bartender 2010

by Jacob Grier on January 6, 2010

Mark your calendars, Portlanders: The next Oregon Bartenders Guild event for charity is coming up on January 21 at the Jupiter Hotel. This time we’re playing Iron Bartender as four local mixologists compete to improvise the best cocktail with a yet-to-be-revealed mystery ingredient. Behind the bar will be Evan Zimmerman from Laurelhurst Market, Elizabeth Markham from Beaker and Flask, Neil Kopplin from Clyde Common, and this guy from Carlyle whose blog you’re reading right now.

Tickets for the event are $50 with proceeds benefiting the Children’s Relief Nursery. Click here for more details or buy your tickets here.

NovemBEER cocktails for charity

by Jacob Grier on October 29, 2009

Hot on the heels of the GADF, the next Oregon cocktail event takes place this Sunday at Cassidy’s. Our theme this time is beer cocktails and proceeds will once again benefit Schoolhouse Supplies, a local charity that buys school supplies for children. We’ll have five mixologists — Elizabeth Markham, Christian Rouillier, Lee Watson, Chris Churilla, and Jabriel Donohue — serving up original creations using spirits and beer. They have some crazy drinks planned and I’m looking forward to finally tasting them drinks in person.

Tickets are available at the door and at Clyde Common, Cassidy’s, and Carlyle. The event runs from 5:00 to 8:00 and $30 gets you five cocktails and the warm, satisfied glow of having helped the children (or maybe that’s just from the alcohol). Be there!

Update 10/30/09: Alas, Elizabeth can no longer make the event, but for a good reason: She’s starting a new job behind the bar at one of my favorite restaurants, Laurelhurst Market. I’ll be stepping in to take her place. Two days to make an original beer and gin cocktail? Yeah, I can do that.
