Indie Hops, a New Look at an Old Friend

Matt Wiater — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:35:34 +0000

Just got a press release in from Indie Hops, LLC. They are specializing in aroma hops exclusively for the craft beer industry. I’ll go out on a limb here, but I don’t think that it’ll hurt the Portland beer scene to be so close to this operation! —– We are pleased to announce the launch of our [...] Related posts:Fresh Hop Flavors Drive Interest in Microbrew...

2009 Deschutes Abyss. The lines stretched around the building on the release day. Doesn’t anyone have anything to do at 2:00pm on a Tuesday? Don’t I have anything to do? Well, yes. I was planning to swoop in, pick up a handful of bottles, and be back at work within 30 [...] Related posts:12 Days of Abyss (Part 2)Abyss & Coffee Girl12 Days of Abyss (Part 1)

Portlandbeer.org: Past, Present, and Future

Matt Wiater — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:32:33 +0000

A notebook, a list, and a couple of beers. Five years ago, this site started out as an idea on a napkin. We’ve gone from tracking a few beer releases between friends in town, to serving over 150,000 pages each year to users all over the world (96 countries in the last few months, according [...] Related posts:Portlandbeer.org Blog Navigation ChangesPortlandbeer.org’s New Beer...

Portlandbeer.org Relaunch

Matt Wiater — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:46:25 +0000

Over the years, we’ve had to make our website has bigger, better, faster, and stronger. This is because the owners have become older, slower, and lazier–and something had to make up for that! We’ll talk about some of the new features and some of our future plans in upcoming posts, but for now, [...] Related posts:Portlandbeer.org: Past, Present, and FuturePortlandbeer.org...

Shine a Light: Art and Beer in One Convenient Package

Ian Seniff — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 01:16:00 +0000

How do you make a night of local music, printmaking demonstrations, inanimate works of art being serenaded by minstrels, video installation viewing and endangered language preservation better? Well, much like everything else, you add beer. The answer of “adding dinosaur boxing” would have also been acceptable. This Saturday (9/19) the Portland Art Museum will [...] No related posts.

Supporting Oregon Beer by Drinking Oregon Beer

Matt Wiater — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:00:00 +0000

First stop at the Oregon Brewers Guild Dinner: Tickets and glasses. I always lump the Oregon Brewers Guild Dinner in with the Oregon Brewers Festival. For those attending the dinner, it’s a great way to kick off the Oregon Brewers Festival (OBF). In reality, with all of the great beer and food (see below), [...] Related posts:2008 Oregeon Brewers Festival — Exclusive Brewers...

Another Fred. I can’t pass on posting another photo of Fred. This one is Fred Eckhardt sitting across from me at the festival’s media preview. His best advice: drink one glass of water for every glass of beer. Trust me, it’s a lifesaver.

Matt Wiater — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:32:00 +0000

Last week, I got a press release from Oakshire Brewing in Eugene, OR. Nope, not a Portland beer, but if you’ve been able to taste their brews, you’ll agree that everyone should keep an eye on them. Almost exactly a year ago, Oakshire Brewing emerged after a bit of legal prodding forced a [...] Related posts:Oakshire Brewing Expands, Adds BrewmasterFull Sail Releases Black Gold...

Oregon Brewer’s Festival 2008. Well, the Oregon Brewers Festival is upon us. Every year, there is more beer, more people, and hotter temperatures.
