- Captured by Porches’ beer cart!
The new D-Street Noshery cart pod (even typing that name is painful) on SE 50th 32nd and Division will soon be home to an unusual cart: I’ve seen artisan pizza carts, waffle carts, “balls” carts, but I’ve never seen a beer cart. Longtime Portland homebrewing company Captured by Porches will soon swing the doors of their green beer-slinging schoolbus open at the Division cart pod.
The only mobile beer units I’ve seen in Portland are beer keg bikes and beer bikes and Ezra at a Friday night Thrice show. I thought the OLCC permitting around a beer cart would be a clusterfuck.
Surprise, surprise, Captured by Porches brewers Dylan Goldsmith and Suzanne Moodhe got their beer cart permit with no problems at all. “The OLCC doesn’t license vehicles unless it’s a cruise ship,” says Goldsmith. “We were able to cover this as an extension of our current brewpub license.” The pair already serves beer by the pint or growler during Kruger Farm festivals on Sauvie’s Island. At the new Division cart pod, the OLCC was supposed to stick the neighborhood notice about an alcohol distributor coming to the neighborhood up on a wall… but since the cart pod has no walls, the inspector had to settle for taping it to a tree.
Goldsmith says the new beer cart will have a couple limited edition brews on tap: Invasive Species IPA, Divine Wit (a light wheat beer with citrus), and a porter named Punctured by Corpses. They will start serving the first week in November.
According to their website, D Street Noshery is at 33rdd and Division. There’s a different cart pod at 50th and Division.
Fuck it.
Put goddamned carts on every goddamned intersection.
Can I go home yet?
Mmm yeah, “nosh” has been one of those nails-on-chalkboard sorts of words for me, I don’t quite know why.
Anyways, Graham…there looks to be another cart pod going in on 52nd and Foster next to the Devil’s Point. So your wish is closer to being fulfilled.
5:03pm, you can go home.
Graham’s right! So is humanclock. I conflated this cart pod with the 50th Ave pod. What a ridiculous town we have.
This is fantastic news. I’ve tried each of the Captured by Porches varieties (from People’s Coop) and they’re outstanding.
‘Nosh’ bugs me because it’s one of those words that people who write for “lifestyle magazines” and that ilk latched onto and seem to think they’re really clever for using–a lot like another Yiddish loanword, “tchotchke.” I’ll give the Captured by Porches folks the benefit of the doubt, though.
@geyser: exactly! “Nosh” is something you’d hear on the TV during an in-house ad while staying at a resort hotel. Possibly the word “tantalizing” could be a few words down in the narration following “nosh”.
Aaand can Portland do something else besides IPAs? Eh? Love the other options, thanks.
A Portland brewpub announcing an IPA is about as surprising as Nintendo saying they’ll make another Mario game.
I’m looking forward to noshing on their tantalizing offerings. Maybe they’ll even have a few items that can best be described as “succulent.”
There’s also the cart pod between 46th & 47th. The one at 50th is just Los Gorditas.
No, if you go south on 50th, there’s a cart pod just a 100 feet or so off Division. Los Gorditos also has another cart/truck next to it now, I believe, and the other pod is at 48th & Division. This will all be much easier come March when a large portion of these have closed.
