Merchant du Vin and The Beer Mongers are pleased to announce very special visit from our guest François de Harenne, Directeur Commercial of the Orval Trappist Brewery in Florenville, Belgium. This weekend marks the first anniversary of The Beer Mongers, a popular new addition to the Portland beer scene. We will kick off the event at 4:00 pm sharp with a presentation about the brewery and monastery, to be followed with an informal “meet and greet” session. Beermongers will also be hosting a very special “aged” Orval Trappist Ale tasting that promises to be enlightening and entertaining. 1125 SE Division, Portland, OR 97202; (503) 234-6012. 4:00 – 6:00 pm.
