Falling Sky Brew House Review

Thursday night I was able to check out one of the local breweries in Eugene Oregon. The Falling Sky Brewery, formally known as Valley Vintner & Brewer, opened their brew house at 1334 Oak Alley, Eugene Oregon. When you walk in there is a very industrial feeling do to the concrete floors, exposed beams and duct work, but as you walk around more they have mixed in reused items. Such items are old windows making up the wall between the “beer garden” area and brewing area. It is very cool touch that fits in well to the reduce, reuse and recycle mentality here in Eugene.

They had a nice selection of beer, cider and hand crafted sodas. They also have a decent menu of their take on bar food. From what I could see on other customer’s tables, the food look very good and well made. I did get hungry half way through my first beer and decided to get their Beer Bratwurst. It came with sour krout, grain mustard and some very good thin crunchy fries. The Brat was pretty good and I am huge sourkrout fan, but what I didn’t like was the abundance of peppercorns they put in the krout. That was very peculiar to me, to have peppercorns in in the krout. Overall I the meal was satisfying.

The surroundings of Falling Sky breed an atmosphere where people are conversing, moving around and having a good time. They have done a good job building a traditional German Beer garden feel promoting interaction with people you don’t know.

All in all it was a fun atmosphere with a very good selection of house brews, local brews and some German brews. If you are in the area and are looking for a new place to go, check out Fallying Sky Brew House.
