Celebrating Beer in Oregon


Since July is Oregon Craft Beer Month I decided the time was right to make a visit to Portland. (Actually, I'm in Portland to attend the Oregon Brewers Fest and fly the Pints for Prostates flag.)

Last evening I had the chance to meet some great west coast brewers, including Brett Joyce from Rogue Ales, Chuck Silva from Green Flash Brewing and Jeff Althouse of Oakshire Brewing, at a reception at the local Rock Bottom Brewery and then at the Oregon Brewers Guild Brewers Dinner. To go along with the fresh smoked salmon and the Shakespeare Stout brownie, I had some great local beers. They are serious about their beer in Portland and have the right to be -- its great stuff.

We'll talk about some of the brews enjoyed in a later post. If you are in Portland and heading to the OBF please look for the Pints for Prostates booth and stop by to say hello.

So now Oregon has an entire beer month eh? Next thing you'll know, some state will declare an entire beer year. I can see it now...
