Planning has begun for this year’s Corvallis Beer Week, and this year the CBW takes place from September 10th through the 16th (Monday through Sunday). Mark your calendars and plan accordingly!

McMenamins Hillsdale Brewery & Public House (Portland): “Did you know that tomorrow Wednesday February 8th is our McMenamins Hillsdale Brewery & Public House 28th birthday? The first brewpub in the state and our third pub is dear to our hearts as it is the birthplace of all our signature beers. We will wait to really celebrate at the 19th Annual Hillsdale Brewfest on February 25th but swing on by tomorrow and sample a taste of our Mojo’s Mocha Porter the Hillsdale selection for this year’s brewfest, available all day long.” (via Facebook)
