Just a couple of notes on some Portland happenings that I saw today. First, altportland reports on the Lucky Lab‘s Barleywine and Big Beer Tasting. That’s going on tomorrow and Saturday, the 10th and 11th, from noon until 10 p.m. No entry fee, but tickets for 4 ounce tasters are $1.50 each. Sounds like a neat deal (I loves me my barleywines).

The other event took place today, so I’m not very timely: BridgePort Brewing‘s Full Pint Fundraiser. BridgePort just re-opened after renovating their old brewpub space, and tonight’s fundraiser was raising money for the Oregon Food Bank. Sounds like a good cause; hopefully they had a big turnout.
