Thunder Buddy's is back! This Hoppy Lager made its debut last year as a collab between Thunder Island Brewing and Buddy's Arcade. We are back at it again in 2026 celebrating Buddy's Arcade recent 3rd year anniversary! You can now enjoy Thunder Buddy's Hoppy Lager at Buddy's Arcade and in our taproom, both right here in Cascade Locks. Cheers friends! 🍻

Thunder Buddy’s | Hoppy Lager
ABV: 5% | IBU: 22
Bright, crisp, and bursting with vibrant hop character, this hoppy lager showcases a unique blend of Audacia, Crystal, Meridian and Strata hops. Notes or ripe stone fruit, lemongrass, and hints of tropical mango over a clean, smooth malt base. Light pine and subtle herbal undertones balance the bright aromatics, finishing refreshingly dry and crushable. Perfect for warm summer days.

Tomorrow we kick off summer with an evening of the arts at Thunder Island Brewing in Cascade Locks, Oregon! 🍻

☀ Wednesday, June 3rd is our first Sunset Series performance featuring Forest Bailey! His live performance is a refreshing take on the solo Acoustic Guitar, alchemizing every part of the instrument for original compositions with elements of folk, world, blues, jazz, and post-rock, all anchored in his virtuosic mastery of fingerstyle technique inspired by Michael Hedges, Andy Mckee, and Antoine Dufour. 🎵 Food and drinks available in the River Room!

🎨 Wednesday, June 3rd also kicks off our June - July featured art in the Hiker's Lounge! Our June-July 2026 Featured Artists are Melissa D. Jones & Loree Harrell. Join us for evening of viewing their work, getting to know the artists, raising a glass and celebrating their hard work! You can view their work anytime you come visit us in our Hiker's Lounge for the next 2 months (June-July).
