OREGON CITY, Ore. … Coin Toss Brewing is going big this May 5th with their very own Cinco de Toss-o fiesta at the taproom located at 14214 Fir Street in Oregon City. Three new beer releases, a pop-up street taco menu, and abundant outdoor seating offer the community a great reason to get out of the house while complying with Covid dining restrictions.

“We have plenty of seating outdoors for our guests to come and safely enjoy food, drink and each other’s company,” said Coin Toss owner Tim Hohl. “We still expect everyone to abide by masking and distancing requirements, so that everyone can relax and have a great time.”

Celebrants will have the opportunity to taste three exclusive on-tap options:

The popular Comunidad Mexican Lager seasonal is a refreshing amber lager whose name is a reference to the community that craft beer creates. It is brewed with Pilsner malt, flaked rice and four specialty grains.

The Coin Toss Michelada is a taproom-exclusive blend of Comunidad Mexican Lager, lime juice, tomato juice and chile peppers, a spicy yet refreshing drink for a sunny day.

A single keg of Coin Toss’ current spring seasonal—Key Lime Kölsch with rose hips—has been blended with tequila-infused oak chips to create the one-of-a-kind Key Lime Tequila Kölsch.

All three options are designed to pair perfectly with Chef Leah Tucker’s street tacos, with options including pork carnitas and vegetarian chili-lime tofu, served with beans, rice, and house-made pico de gallo.

For those who can’t make it out in person, Coin Toss offers next-day delivery seven days a week to households in Oregon City, Gladstone, Lake Oswego, Milwaukie, Beavercreek, Redland, West Linn and Happy Valley. Delivery orders are open at https://coin-toss-brewing.square.site/.

Coin Toss is open this and every Wednesday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., Saturdays from noon to 8 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m.

About Coin Toss Brewing

Coin Toss Brewing offers a variety of signature brews available by the pint, crowler, growler, or keg. The company is committed to crafting the finest beers in honor of Beervana's illustrious history. The Coin Toss moniker is a nod to the fateful event that determined the city of Portland's name. Although pioneer Asa Lovejoy (from Boston, Mass.) may have lost the historic coin toss to Francis Pettygrove (of Portland, Maine), the brewery would like to reach back through the years and tell him: Heads or tails? It's beer, you win!

5 things to know about Cinco de Mayo

(CNN)Guacamole and fajitas. Mexican flags and mariachi bands. Margaritas, beer — and more beer. (Sometimes with lime, thanks to that clever marketing campaign.)

It’s May 5, and America is celebrating Cinco de Mayo — but why?

The Mexican holiday is still celebrated in Mexico, but the local tributes pale next to the giant celebration in the United States, complete with restaurant specials, high-volume advertising and endless promotion. Here are five things you should know about May 5.

1. It’s not Mexican Independence Day.

Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Mexican victory over France (of all countries) at the Battle of Puebla, May 5, 1862.

Mexico had been invaded by Spain, France and Great Britain in late 1861, but within six months Spain and Britain had pulled out. With the U.S. Civil War raging north of the Mexican border, the French decided to take advantage of the chaos and invade Mexico, which had been torn apart by war in the late 1850s.

The French made inroads in April 1862, but in May, at the town of Puebla — about 85 miles east of Mexico City — a small Mexican army under the command of Ignacio Zaragoza defeated a larger French contingent. It was a classic David-over-Goliath victory, and it’s been celebrated ever since for its symbolic value … even though the French did eventually take over Mexico and establish the short-lived Second Mexican Empire under the Emperor Maximilian.

Mexican Independence Day, incidentally, is celebrated September 16.

2. It’s got a Texas connection.

Zaragoza was born in what’s now Goliad, Texas, about 60 miles due north of Corpus Christi. In 1999, the Texas Senate declared it the official place to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

And celebrate it does, with live music, ballet folklorico dancers and barbecue. There’s also a giant party at the Goliad Fairgrounds.

“It has opened the doors for Goliad. It is something that we are all very proud of. That’s one of the reasons we hope our youth will continue with the traditions,” former justice of the peace Emilio Vargas told the Victoria (Texas) Advocate in 2014.

3. It’s not just a big deal in the Southwest.

Among the best and most visited Cinco de Mayo festivals in the United States are held in Chicago (where the party in Douglas Park attracts 200,000), Denver (400,000 over two days), Portland, Oregon (the Waterfront Park festival attracts 300,000), and St. Paul, Minnesota.

St. Paul, Minnesota? Yes, indeed. The city includes a neighborhood known as the District del Sol, an area in the Minnesota capital’s west side that started attracting Mexican immigrants in the early 20th century. The Latino population now numbers more than 25,000 — close to 10% of the city, according to St. Paul Historical — and the Cinco de Mayo festival takes up two days.

4. Why so American?

Though Americans have been celebrating Cinco de Mayo practically since the battle ended — especially in the West — it was largely unknown in most parts of the U.S. until the 1960s, when Mexican-American activists started raising its profile. It’s become a way to celebrate pride in the community.

But, the United States being what it is, it’s also a great marketing opportunity. In 2014, Cinco de Mayo (or the nearest Friday, anyway) happened to be the biggest non-winter drinking day of the year, and it’s in the top five drinking holidays in general. Hey, you’ve got to have something to take the edge of the spicy food.

5. Have you considered mole poblano?

Speaking of food, don’t limit yourself to Taco Bell and nachos with refried beans. Puebla is actually one of Mexico’s best food cities, Smithsonian magazine observes, and its delicacies should be more widespread, especially on its most notable holiday.

So for Cinco de Mayo, the magazine recommends you sample the following: mole poblano, the chocolate-colored sauce that’s the city’s favorite dish; chalupas, thick tortillas with meat, salsa and onion; and chiles en nogada, fried peppers with walnut sauce, pomegranate seeds and parsley — which offers the colors of the Mexican flag.

Felices fiestas!
