Cattleman and part-time brewer Ty Kliewer pours a new beer into a glass to inspect its color and taste.
He runs his company, Skyline Brewing, from a shed behind his cattle farm just outside Klamath Falls. It’s a small and unassuming brewery, but it’s also generated a loyal following because of Kliewer’s unusual flavors.
He makes a pink, raspberry wheat beer called “Breast Cancer Sucks” and an orange Creamsicle-flavored pale ale. For the upcoming solar eclipse, Kliewer is planning something he wants to call “Blackout.”
“We haven’t actually made it yet,” he said. “Kind of what’s rattling around in my head is to make something like a German Schwarzbier.”

I’m not sure what the flavored wheat beer and flavored ale taste like, but you only go around once, so I would give both a try PO1 William "Chip" Nagel!

..."Schwarzbier is made from roasted malt, giving it a dark color like a stout. He wants his Blackout beer to look dark but taste light, similar to the way an eclipse darkens the sky during daylight hours.
Skywatchers across a large swath of Oregon are preparing for an annular solar eclipse on Saturday, when the sun will create a ring of fire around the moon’s shadow.
During the total solar eclipse of 2017, the moon covered the entire face of the sun. But during this eclipse, the sun will appear slightly larger than the moon, leaving a ring of light. In Oregon, the path starts above Florence and Coos Bay and then moves southeast over Yoncalla, Roseburg, Chiloquin and Lakeview.
But the 160-mile-wide shadow will be seen from Corvallis to Medford and Newport to Lakeview. Hundreds of thousands of Oregonians, including people in Klamath Falls, should be able to see at least a partial eclipse starting at 9:13 a.m. Saturday. Watch parties have been organized from Bandon to Bend.
Kliewer’s new eclipse-themed beer will debut at ElipseFest 2023, a multi-day festival that starts Tuesday."...
