Here’s an unusual beer tasting that’s happening locally (ie, Central Oregon):

Wanderlust Tours is offering its next Brews and Views beer tasting snowshoe event in partnership with Cascade Lakes Brewing Company over Presidents’ weekend on Sunday, February 20, 2005, from 1 to 5 p.m.

Guests will snowshoe off trail with Wanderlust Tours guides into the snowy winter wonderland of the Cascade Mountains to relax around a glowing "bonfire" in the middle of an amphitheater hand-carved into the snow and sample various beers from Central Oregon’s own Cascade Lakes Brewing Company.

Sound interesting. $75 per person.
