But for me most of their styles aren't to my taste so I haven't tried many more than the stouts. Visiting their brewery is a unique experience, and if you appreciate beer, wine, food, or farm-to-table initiatives, this is a must-visit. It's located outside of Eugene, a worthwhile and beautiful drive through farms and wineries. The brewery is in a field overlooking more; amazing big skies and plants all around. The house has a number of tables with a small bar and big windows/doors that can open during the nice parts of the year. They also have a lot of outdoor seating, including a tent and warmers for the colder months. We were there on a weekday around lunchtime so it wasn't busy. Immediately the bartender was welcoming and quick to get us going, including talking us through the menu. We ordered pretty much the entire menu of food, that rotates as produce is available. The kitchen is a separate trailer building outside and it was fun to watch them get ready for later meals that day. We shared a bit of everything, which was fun. A memorable experience was the truffle farmer bringing one in he just found the size of a softball, which they then shaved over the fish dish. Their beers are wild fermented, then blended in a similar process to some wines. I enjoyed branching out with different fruited varieties, plus stouts and rare variants. Their tasting boards are beautifully done as well. The beer competition medals are proudly displayed with their merchandise, they also have a large selection of bottled beers to go. I bought a bottle of peppermint stout to share at home, which was wonderful and it was worth the effort. Prices are reasonable for the terroir of the food and beer, it's worth it to spend a little more than miss out. The bartender also took us on a tour, explained how they blended. It was a wonderful memory and Alesong will always be one of those special breweries for me.

Headquarters Wine Bar has leveled up in a big way and become a culinary destination, with the…read moreintroduction of a Thai & Japanese-inspired food menu conceived by the folks who run the Family Dinner pop-up. I had their kabocha squash salad ($11) along with a roasted salmon onigiri and a lamb curry onigiri ($7 apiece). The salad was a hit and caught me by surprise. It used pureed squash which worked really well with the crunchy pepitas and greens. It was very flavorful and balanced. The salmon onigiri was also very good, but perhaps overshadowed by the star of the show -- the lamb curry onigiri. It was love at first bite, with the powerful savory flavors taking me for a ride and some heat that had me craving the next one. Honestly it is worth the trip just to have one (or five) of these. I got to speak to the chef about how he makes them, and it was obvious that there is a lot of thought and passion given to this food. It's a very nice space and there was good music playing. Food is served until close (currently 10pm) If I could give one suggestion, I would say to dim the lights a bit at night. Overall I am excited to return and work through the entire menu.

I decided to try some wines I use to drink too. I tasted the Petite Syrah, two kinds of Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, and the Cabernet. I enjoyed tasting the wines to find the right ones for my pallet. I thank the gentleman for bringing me and my husband a variety as well as the information he provided us about each one. We purchased the Tempranillo, Bradshaw Pinot Noir (my favorite), and the Albariño.
