Making note of things happening locally this month. There really isn’t much at all; but then, it’s Great American Beer Festival month, too.

• Oktoberfest Cooking
  Where: Bend Public Library
  When: October 10 (missed the 3rd’s in Redmond), 6:30 – 8pm
  What:
  Joan McFadden of Sundowner Catering creates the perfect menu for a memorable Octoberfest. Food tasting and recipes included.

  Limited to 30 participants.

  Free and open to the public.
   

• Fresh Hop Tastival
  Where: Deschutes Brewery, 901 SW Simpson
  When: October 27, noon – 7pm
  What:
  A huge selection of fresh hop beers will be available for tasting. Admission is free, but the mug (required to taste!) is $5, with $1 per taster and $4 for full pours.

  Jeff has published (re-published, rather, but I like his formatting better) the list of beers available.
