A Strange Baseball Brew

The Hillsboro team in Oregon needed a team name. They were in Oregon, a “proud agricultural” state that produced the second-most hops in America — it was obvious. The Hillsboro Hops will begin play in 2013 with a fancy new logo and an open question at the mascot position. Cheers to them!

Maybe this will open the door for:

The Squabbletown Suds
The Bee Rock Brews
The Askewville Ales
The Beanblossom Brewski
The French Lick Foam
The Big Sky Bitters
The Cold Water Cold Ones
The Paradise Pints
The Cherry Hill Crafts
The Marathon Microbrews
The Jupiter Jugs
The Plaster City Pilsners
The Date City Draughts
The Portland Porters
The London (KY) Lagers





 

With a phone full of pictures of pitchers' fingers, strange beers, and his two toddler sons, Eno Sarris can be found at the ballpark or a brewery most days. Read him here, writing about the A's or Giants at The Athletic, or about beer at October. Follow him on Twitter @enosarris if you can handle the sandwiches and inanity.
