Oregon Brewers Festival 2010
As always, the Oregon Brewers Festival is held in at the Portland Waterfront on the last full weekend in July. It’s a four day event from Thursday to Sunday and I managed to go taste some craft beers on Thursday and Friday. I stayed away from the IPAs and stuck to the lighter beers, but [...]
