In Oregon right now—literally, as in, as you read this—it is Fresh Hop Season: breweries all over the state are brewing fresh hop ales and some even have been tapped already. I love fresh hop beers and for some time now I’ve been thinking that I should try brewing my own: I have several hop [...]
Yes I’ve had been horribly remiss in keeping caught up on blogging here, this has been a busy summer of beer events and they all seem to fall on the weekends. I’ve been mostly keeping track over on The Brew Site, my main blog, but here’s a rundown of what’s been going on: Bend, Oregon [...]
A year ago I wrote up a list of 10 Oregon breweries you should visit—breweries that are perhaps relatively unknown or underrated that have something unique or special to offer up even in Oregon’s great beer culture. Since that time there have been a number of new breweries opening up, some doing some incredibly interesting [...]
If you’re in or around Portland this weekend, you owe it to yourself to check out the Portland Fruit Beer Festival, which is taking place today and Sunday (the 11th and 12th of June) at Burnside Brewing in (where else) Portland. Fruit beers often get a bad rap among beer geeks, and this Fest aims [...]
This is a question that has been gnawing at me the past 24 hours or so. The other day 10 Barrel Brewing here in Bend posted on Facebook that one of their “Big Handle Beers” coming up was a “Peanut Butter and Jelly Beer… and yes it tastes just like the sandwich.” Now, I’m usually [...]

For beer geeks this has a another significance as well: the [...]
So who’s using Untappd? I have an interest in how beer intersects with technology—in particular the technology of the web and computing. Sites like RateBeer (massive database of many things beer with crowdsourced ratings), the Beer Recipator (calculating and tracking homebrew recipes), blogs (of course), and the Beer Mapping Project (combining Google Maps with breweries [...]
A press release from Grand Teton Brewing was released yesterday, announcing the Brewery’s new all-Idaho beer (“Idaho Pale Ale”): that is, all the ingredients were locally-sourced for the brewery. Grand Teton Brewing Company, known throughout the West for their exceptional craft brews, has created what might be the first-ever all-Idaho beer, named “Idaho Pale Ale.” [...]
I’ve accrued a couple of things to write about over the past couple weeks: Test batches of Mirror Pond Pale Ale from Deschutes Brewery, and last Saturday’s Zwickelmania event here in Bend. Mirror Pond Test Beers Not too long ago Deschutes started a new online marketing project for members of their Bitter Truth newsletter (the [...]
A few weeks ago I posted about doing a five-minute presentation for an event called Ignite Bend entitled, “How to Brew Beer in 10 Easy Steps.” Ignite Bend was this past Wednesday (the 9th), and it went really well: the only snafu was that I was holding (and sipping from) a bottle of beer during [...]
