If you've ever wanted to see me at my happiest--you will find me at the Portland Fruit Beer Fest this weekend! Hosted at Burnside Brewery, this event will feature some exciting experimental beer and a few amazing collaborations (
Bushwhacker Cidery and
Upright Brewing especially)! I also have seen a lot about
Breakside Brewery's Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Beer prep; let me just say it looks very interesting.

Love wine? Why not have a sip (or many) at the PDX Urban Wine Experience this weekend hosted at
Refuge PDX? Join members of
PDX Urban Wine Association, and try some grapes from

I've heard some pretty awesome things about the Gorge Blues & Brews. What have I heard, you might ask? It's a fest full of talented artists, delectable brews, and gorgeous views. Brewers like Walking Man, Ninkasi, and Breakside will be quenching thirst willst sweet tunes will fill the Gorge. The best part of this two day fest? You can
camp in the Gorge or stay in one of the
local lodges.
