July in Oregon brings us Oregon Craft Beer Month, a sort of month-long “Oregon Beer Week” celebrating Oregon’s craft beer culture. The events are statewide and thus not as densely packed as most of the schedules you see for a typical Beer Week, which leads to some dilution to the overall impact perhaps, but the OCBM culminates in the Oregon Brewers Festival at the end of the month, and that’s definitely a party.

I have some Oregon brewery reviews to post (as I mentioned last week) plus a couple more for Bend from this weekend, first looks (I believe) at Below Grade and GoodLife Brewing, plus news about an entirely new Bend brewing operation too, so these are all posts that will tie in with OCBM (into their Twitter feed and such).
