The newest book in the Stackpole “Breweries” series is out now—Oregon Breweries, by beer writer and friend Brian Yaeger, containing listings and info on the 190+ brewing establishments in the state that is as up-to-date as you will find anywhere right now. Brian has been working on this book for a lot longer than I’d been working on Bend Beer, and I have no doubt that this will be a defining directory/guidebook for Oregon for a long time to come.

Brian has been lining up a bunch of events (find them on the Facebook page) and I’m pleased to say that I’ll be joining him for a couple this weekend in Portland to promote both of our books: first at Powell’s Books this Friday night for a reading and signing, followed by a pub crawl through the Pearl District (my event page for this is here, Brian’s is here), and then Saturday we’ll be at Belmont Station from 1 to 3pm.

I’m definitely looking forward to buying a copy (and getting it signed, naturally!) and I know that I can heartily recommend this book to any beer lover and reader—so go buy it!

In fact, come find us in Portland this weekend and get both of our books, signed even! They make perfect Christmas gifts.
