The Oregon Brewers Guild is touting the third annual Craft Beer Month, which kicks off on July first. I haven't done a lot of touting myself, but since the calendar is out, here's a few for which you should save the date:
___
Concordia Cup, July 9th-13th
10 of the Best Oregon Imperial IPA's battle it out for first place in a blind taste test. Winning brewer will captain the Oregon Beer Brawl II team. Votes will be gathered from July 9th starting at 11 am until July 13th at midnight. Taster trays are $10 to participate and vote for your favorite. Admission is free.
Concordia Ale House, 3276 NE Killingsworth, Portland

"Puckerfest," July 14-20
Specials on tap and in the bottle throughout the week. Unofficially named the "Puckerfest," several sour beers will also be pouring at the adjoining biercafé.

Some of the biggest names in craft brewing attend this informal BBQ as a prelude to the Oregon Brewers Festival. The ticket price of $50 ($40 for SNOBs) includes dinner, a souvenir pint glass, and six half-pints of Oregon beers that are not featured at the festival. Proceeds benefit Oregon Brewers Guild. Attendance is limited to 600.

[Note: dates were wrong on the original post and have been updated. Sorry for the confusion! Damn that copy editor...]
I think that's last year's calendar on the Oregon Craft Beer Month website.
ReplyDeleteThe Oregon Brewers Festival this year, for example is 7/24-27, not the 26-29.
Belmont Station's Puckerfest is the 14-20th, not the 16-22.
Etc.
