Brewery improves classic game: Bingo is its name-o
Wednesday nights at Eugene City Brewery are home to bingo night, full of prizes and good brews
by Alex Gabriel | Pulse Reporter
If Eugene, and Oregon in general, is known for anything other than its illustrious track pedigree, it's definitely its unprecedented and unending selection of the finest beers and spirits west of the Mississippi. From the pales to the porters, the ambers to the browns, when it comes to wetting your whistle, Eugene leaves no stone unturned. With over thirty craft brews on tap, Eugene City Brewery is Track Town's one-stop shop for the sweetest hops and maltiest barley that make for the perfect way to relax at the end of a long, hot day of sitting up in those Hayward bleachers.
And if the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials have you all wrapped up in the competitive spirit, Wednesday nights play host to the rowdiest game of bingo you will ever find, where the more you drink, the better your chances you will win.
Located in the heart of downtown, on West 8th Avenue and Olive Street, the Eugene City Brewery brews its own line of ales. Its bottles are naturally adorned with a track cleat, and the ales come in four varieties: Honey Orange Wheat, Natty Red, 100 Meter Ale, and Track Town Ale. It is one of five pubs along the West Coast sponsored wholly by Rogue Ales - the makers of the nationally distributed Dead Guy Ale - one of Oregon's first and most inventive craft breweries.
With twenty-two different Rogue varieties on constantly rotating taps, there is always something new to try. But if an evening of riotous number-calling madness is more what you are looking for, Wednesday night, bingo night, is the time to be there.
Every Wednesday, the games are slated to begin at 7 p.m. sharp, but really, it doesn't actually start until bingo caller Jason Albright is finished with his last round. A purchase of a pint of beer earns you your bingo card, and if you want to double your luck, an order off the food menu will earn you another. More than just bar food, Eugene City Brewery offers mouthwatering Kobe beef burgers and delicious Chocolate Stout milkshakes made with Rogue Chocolate Stout.
