It’s Monday, November 14, and in addition to the start of a new week of Oregon beer news, tonight’s full moon is a Supermoon, and happens to be the largest one since 1948. Anyone got a “Supermoon” beer? As usual, I’ll be periodically updating this post throughout the day with the latest news as I find it, so check back often. And if you have news to share, please contact me and I can get that posted as well.

Boneyard Beer (Bend): The local paper has a short update today on the state of the upcoming Boneyard pub: “Plans by Boneyard Beer LLC to open a pub on NE Division Street have moved into 2017. Brewery co-founder Tony Lawrence said plans for the pub, which in June he projected would open before the year was out, have “morphed.” Tuesday, he said several factors, including his own travel, had contributed to a slowdown. Lawrence said he has a deadline in mind but would not describe the change in plans as a delay. The Bend brewery on Saturday posted a message on Twitter that the pub is taking longer than anticipated and should open by spring.” It’ll happen when it’s ready.
