The Response

• Over the weekend 7 Devils raised $1,350 for the Upper McKenzie Fire Department by donating 50% of the sales of growler and bomber fills and tuna melts.
• Patrons also donated an additional $4,600 in cash, half of which was donated to a fire fund benefiting families who lost their homes in the Talent and Phoenix areas, and the other half went to the Upper McKenzie Fire Department
• 7 Devils, Rogue Climate, United Way, K-DOCK, and the Coos County First Student collaborated to accept and distribute material goods donated by members of our community. The result was two entire school buses and 4 U-Haul loads of essential supplies for families displaced by the fires!
• First Student volunteered the use of two buses for the donation drive, and delivered the goods to a relief center in Eagle Point.
• Gibs RV donated the use of two large camp trailers to the Upper McKenzie Fire Department to house the now-homeless firefighters while they continue to fight the blaze. They even DELIVERED the trailers, an 11 hour round trip drive. We were able to pack them with goods (food, water, bedding, camp gear) to be distributed to families who lost their homes in the Holiday Farm fire.
• Dozens of volunteers helped accept, sort, and deliver materials goods throughout the weekend. Sarah Leahy herself rented a U-Haul and made 3 delivery trips to the Talent and Phoenix areas.
• Local businesses donated supplies and support:
  • Gibs RV: TWO camper trailers for fire fighter housing
  • American Mattress donated 12 twin sized mattresses
  • Grocery Outlet: food and snacks
  • Coos Head Food Store: volunteers and volunteer support
  • United Way of Southern Oregon: volunteer, organization, and good storage
  • Darin O'Bryan Dentistry: financial support
• Hundreds of Coos County Residents poured in with donations of camp gear, personal hygiene items, baby-care supplies, pet food, animal carriers, food, water, bedding, and clothing for those who lost their homes in the fire.

Every year, we here at 7 Devils like to sneak out for a retreat with the whole crew.  This year we went to La Pine, OR to visit the snow.  Little did we know that when we left it would be snowing in Coos Bay!  It was a beautiful trip, and we all survived the drive over the pass.  We rented a 12 passenger van, and struck out to find some adventure on the hills.  Half of us went snowboarding, while the other half braved the trails up to Tumalo Peak.  We rented a beautiful house that sleeps 30 people!  So much fun was had, as we played music, sat in the hot tub, had meals together, and played games into the wee hours of the night.  Thanks to all of our wonderful crew for joining us for the fun!  And thank you to all our customers who support us, and continue to make the pub a fun place to work and relax!  Much Love!

In addition to having four 7 Devils tap handles at their growler fill station, The Beverage Barn and Bandon, OR carries a ton of Oregon craft beer, wine, and spirits. This is the place to go for specialty beverages, so check them out if you're shopping for a special occasion or birthday gift!

Ah....Sorachi Ace. There's no other op quite like it. An imperial IPA, the D7 features this Japanese hop with Simcoe and Citra, giving this beer a nose of ripe apricots and a flavor of tropical fruit, fennel, and stone fruit. Be warned! The balance of hops and malt defies it's 9% ABV.  Come in and try our newest, amazing creation! 

Carmen works the 7 Devils beer booth at the Gorse Festival- to cele(hate) gorse, the fires it's caused and the history of the region. However, the real purpose of this festival is to celebrate seafood, beer, and wine from all over Oregon and bring visitors to Bandon in the dark, wet, cold days of February. As usual, there was much fun (and beer) to be had by all. 

If you are passing through Bandon- don't forget to stop at the Beverage Barn and get your growler filled. There are 5 different 7 Devils brews on tap, including the Groundswell IPA (not pictured). For more information- check them out on Facebook
