New Deal Distillery’s Season’s Eatings
As we prepare for the holidays, we each have our own culinary traditions. When it comes down to it, regardless of what we cook, we all share the same desire –to create through a meal, a meaningful experience for ourselves and those we care for. How fortunate we are then, to have a plethora of amazing local food artisans, vintners and distillers right in our own backyard. Choosing locally when we decide what to bring, serve or give during the holiday season reflects respect for ourselves and appreciation for the environment that sustains us. It strengthens our local food economy, and lends support to the family farms who make it all possible. It allows us to create holiday traditions that are meaningful on so many levels.

Please join us at the Distillery and Tasting Room from noon to 5:00 PM for a spirited holiday market event celebrating our area’s finest chocolates, cheeses, wines, spirits and foodstuffs to benefit the Oregon Food Bank. Meet the artisans behind the culinary treasures, sample extraordinary local spirits, and find something wonderful for every foodie on your list. Admission is free with 1 non-perishable food item or cash donation for the Oregon Food Bank.

Guest vendors include Organics to You, Monteillet Fromagerie, Random Order Coffeehouse, Tails and Trotters, Xocolatl de David, Black Sheep Bakery, Little Red Bike Café, Velo Café, River Wave Foods, Pacific Pies and more!

New Distillery Row Website
Something truly unique is occurring in Portland—a craft distillation revolution. A handful of innovative small distilleries are making handcrafted, locally distilled spirits available for the first time since prohibition. The heart of this movement lies in Distillery Row: an inconspicuous neighborhood of small warehouses and light industrial buildings in Southeast Portland, known as the lower east-side industrial district. In a strip 16 blocks long and five blocks wide, five independent distilleries (housing seven spirits companies) have begun producing over twenty unique liquors. They make everything from vodkas and gins, rums and whiskeys, to more specialized spirits such as absinthe,
aquavit, and flavored liqueurs.

New T-Shirts for Sale at the Tasting Room
We have the new batch of New Deal t-shirts on sale in our Tasting Room Store for only $15 a piece! We would like to thank our awesome designers for their beautiful work!

Hand2Mouth Theater’s Everyone Who Looks Like You Opening Night Party
Help Hand2Mouth Theater celebrate the opening of their newest production, Everyone Who Looks Like You, at the opening night party at Theater! Theater!. Hand2Mouth is a theatre ensemble committed to creating original work. Drawing from dance, music, theatre and design, Hand2Mouth strives to connect honestly with audiences and collaborators, blurring the line between performance and reality.

Moving through meditative dances and raging fights, fractured confessions and awkward reconciliations, Hand2Mouth’s company of performers builds a hallucinatory canvass of family experience — when the people who once breathed the same air, the people who shared a bathroom and fought over the remote control, are now separated by time zones, culture wars, and divorce. Late-night snacks, sex talks, tantrums and tai-chi unfold around the kitchen table punctuated by live video and song. Drawing from experiences of the performers and creators, Everyone Who Looks Like You is a family drama exploded for the 21st century. Join Hand2Mouth for the full premiere of this hilarious, emotional, and viscerally stunning journey that the Oregonian calls “a small masterpiece . . . ultimately accessible, tender and liberating . . . the re-creation of theater for our time, and of our time.” Come immerse yourself in Everyone Who Looks Like You.

David Douglas Mentoring Project Benefit
The David Douglas Mentoring Project (DDMP), in conjunction with the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization (IRCO) works to match at-risk young people with caring adults who act as mentors. Many of our youth live in single parent households, struggle financially, wrestle with issues of immigration and assimilation, and have parents who do not speak English and do not understand the American school system. DDMP envisions a community in which every young person experiences nurturing one-on-one relationships with caring adults and has community support.

Join DDMP and IRCO at a benefit party at Indish to celebrate project achievements, spread the word about the program and raise much-needed funds to support their efforts.
