Major League Soccer kicks off Sunday, and Widmer Brothers Brewing is ready with two new beers and a release party Wednesday night at their pub.
Widmer will tap two small-batch beers, each with a Timbers theme: First Star and Thrill of Victory. Timbers coaches and The MLS Cup will be there, and fans can have their picture taken with the trophy.
More about the beers: First Star is a rye altbier dry hopped with Ella hops, an Australian varietal with tropical fruit notes, per a press release. It was developed in collaboration with Timbers coach Caleb Porter and the Timbers coaching staff.
