Surprise! Timbers Announce Widmer as Founding Partner

And I mean that "Surprise!" in a total sarcastic manner, as if anybody ever thought this wasn't going to happen.
Still it's nice to see the brewing company will continue on as a partner. I noted earlier today that Widmer was asking fans for help in naming their new bar area located behind the south goal at PGE, so this was an obvious step in that same direction.
Also, the good news here is that, when March comes around, we won't be stuck with the usual Budweiser brands that inhabit most other MLS stadiums. Those will certainly be there, but we'll also get to lavish in the refreshing Drifter, Broken Halo, and Drop Top Amber beer that has made Widmer so famous.
"We’ve been longtime fans of the Portland Timbers at Widmer Brothers, and we’re very excited to establish this partnership," said Rob Widmer. "The Timbers are a great organization, and we’re happy to continue our support."
Cheers Rob!

Great Choice!
Widmer Hefeweizen with a lemon is what I drink most often at home.
Will definitely enjoy drinking it at the matches!
Enjoy the Ride

This is beyond awesome, very European of Portland, combining beer and soccer, they go hand in hand perfectly.

Pilot brewing system
I hope they build in a pilot brewing system like they have at the RG and brew special bacthes for the matches. If the Timbers had their own beer brewd by Widmer what would it be?

Hmm
Sawdust Stout?
Hacksaw Hef?
Axe Ale?
Logger Lambic?
Too bad Stumptown Stout and Logger Lager already exist. They’re the best choices.

Nice
Also works for the No Pity Pale Ale. I’d pass on the No Pity Pilsner.

Dear Rob,
Please put a dry stout on tap (Rose City ’til I Dry). Something about the beautiful game always makes me crave roasted barley.

Love me some Widmer Hefeweizen. Bring some with you on road trips to RFK and you’ll be welcomed with open arms by the Barra Brava and Screaming Eagles.
