I’m taking the week off from Oregon Beer News posts because this week it’s all about the Oregon Brewers Festival! I’ll be in attendance again this year and (as usual) have a number of things to write about it even before it starts this Thursday. In addition the beer list post from last week, for instance, I’ll also have my write-up of the must-try beers (ones that I’ll be seeking out for sure) as well as general tips and advice, and a bit about the Buzz Tent and this year’s new Sour Tent.

This is the 25th annual OBF—a milestone year for sure. And with the weather currently forecasted to be in the upper 70s and low 80s, it should be just about a perfect weekend for it.
