Women Enjoying Beer

We're excited to be partnering with Women Enjoying Beer for the 2012 Oregon Garden Brewfest. Ginger Johnson and her team will be leading some beer education and spreading the word about women who enjoy beer- and there are lots of us!

Check out their website for more information on what they do for and with the beer-drinking community.

Capitol Brewers Pub Crawl

A couple weeks ago I was lucky enough to be invited along for a Portland Pub Crawl with Capitol Brewers, the hosts of our 2012 Homebrew Competition.  We visited Migration, Green Dragon (Buckman), Cascade Barrel House, and Coalition.  Here are a few photos.

Buckman's ginger beer is incredible. Tastes like a gingersnap cookie.

Buckman's fancy equipment.

Cascade. Can't go wrong here. So many wonderfully sour beers.

Coalition.

Got our first twelve!
