Secret I Almost Don’t Want to Tell You
This weekend is the return of the North American Organic Brewers Festival. You’ll recall that I attended two days last year. It’s free to get in, but if you want to buy the compostable tasting glass, you can take $1 off the $6 fee by either showing your validated Max ticket or by donating three canned goods (organic please). This is the stop you’ll want to use for the Max. If you’re in Portland and you’d like to meet up with me and some other friends, check my Facebook page over the next couple of days. I’ll post my cell number in my status when I’m at the fest. Give me a call — I’d love to meet you.

Make sure you try the Oakshire brews. Fantastic. I wish I could go. I’m captivated by Captured by Porches’ IPA name. And a YerbaMate IPA?
I tried an Oakshire IPA in Newport at the Dog Brewfest. It was stellar. I’ll try all of the IPAs over the weekend, I hope. Wish you could be there to help school me.
