Weekend of Beer: Hood River, Astoria, Portland

Weekend of Beer: Hood River, Astoria, Portland:

If you're not one of the 99% that are fans of fresh hop beers, then you may be one who is looking for something to do other than attend the Hood River Hops Fest this Saturday. With more than 50 fresh hop beers, the Hood River Hops Fest is definitely the place to be, but I can't ignore some other great events happening around Oregon like the Pacific Northwest Brew Cup and Occidental Brewing's Oktoberfest.

Rogue: Floor-malting the revolution

Rogue: Floor-malting the revolution: This is an expanded version story I wrote for the current issue of the new magazine Oregon Beer Growler: and it's already out of date, because Rogue has built a new floor-malting operation at its Tygh Valley barley farm and won't malt in Portland anymore, so this is a fascinating bit of beer history, is what it is..

Bend gas station among first in Northwest to offer growler fills

Bend gas station among first in Northwest to offer growler fills:

At most gas stations, you fuel up, grab a soda or perhaps a six-pack of your favorite beer. Now a Bend station is taking that to the next level. The Stop & Go Shell station on Highway 20 and 27th Street has something no other gas station in the Northwest. They now have 30 different West Coast beers all on tap so you can fill your 64-ounce (half-gallon) "growler" of beer.
