With all the business of this Advent Beer Calendar I’m running this month, I forgot to link to my two latest Hop Press articles: a multi-part guide to the Bend beer scene.

Part 1 is here, wherein I cover Deschutes Brewery and Bend Brewing Company. Part 2 is here, covering Cascade Lakes Brewing and Silver Moon Brewing. At the rate I’m going of two breweries per post—not to mention the Brew Shop, several beer bars, and beer stores—I figure I should have three or four more parts to the series, at least.

Those will wait, though, because this week I’m covering a “Beer School” topic. It’ll be up Saturday, so tune in to see what I’m talking about.
