Today is the fifth annual Fermentation Celebration here in Bend, a unique “walking tour” of Central Oregon’s breweries and cideries that takes place from 4 to 10pm in the Old Mill District. (The Old Mill is the shopping, dining, and arts district located next to the Deschutes River—where the old mills used to be.) I believe all but six of the local breweries will be pouring beer, and all six (yes, six now!) cideries will be on hand as well. I wrote a guest blog post for the Old Mill with additional details, if you’re interested.

Also my latest print article for The Bulletin is out today, where I wrote about this weekend’s Cruxapalooza 5 anniversary party hosted by Crux Fermentation Project this Saturday the 25th. They will have 60 taps of their beers! That might be a record.

And on Monday the 27th, Deschutes Brewery is holding their 28th anniversary party; don’t forget to wear your old school Black Butte Porter shirt for it.
