I posted last month about this year’s Fresh Hop Tastivals, and the Hood River one took place on the 4th, last weekend. The next two are coming up the 18th and the 25th, in Portland and Eugene, respectively.

Ironically, on the 18th I’ll be attending Deschutes Brewery‘s Fresh Hop Beer Tasting.

Here are the details on the upcoming Tastivals, along with a lineup of the beers:

October 18 at Hopworks, 2944 SE Powell Blvd. in Portland, and October 25 at Ninkasi, 272 Van Buren St. in Eugene. Admission to the events is free; glasses/mugs cost $5, and are required for tasting beer. Tastes of the individual beers are $1 each. Hours are Noon to 9 p.m.

Here is the lineup of the freshest beers on tap that will be available at both events. These two festivals will be the only place where hopheads can find all these beers in one location!

I’m thinking it might be worth a trip to Eugene on the 25th for this. Any beer named "Hoptimus Prime" pretty much cinches that up for me, I think.
