Yep, it’s almost that time again.😃

Three days, 72 breweries, one big party. July 26, 27, & 28 at the Tom McCall Waterfront Park in downtown Portland.

> Hailed by many as the finest craft beer festival in the nation, the Oregon Brewers Festival celebrates the growth of North American craft brewing while showcasing some of the finest beers in the industry.

So, any of you Dopers, local or not so, interested in getting together and sampling some tasty brews? (There’s also craft-brewed Root Beer, for the non-beer-drinkers and/or designated drivers.)

I haven’t thought too much about when & where to meet. We’ll hash that out among the interested party, should there be any.

I hate being twenty years old! **freesok** and I talked about this when it was mentioned in some other thread. He’d probably like to go. He likes beer… a lot. I’d like to meet other dopers, but I can’t get in because I don’t have a parent here. Maybe I’ll shop or something while you all are doing your thing.

BrattiAtti, the poor little minor girl _sniff, sniff_

Every year at this time I get upset about being nowhere near Oregon.

Pikers.

I’m on the wrong coast for this–having done a bit of work in Oregon, I wish I could join you.

So, have one of Deschutes Brewery’s **Obsidian Stouts** (one of my fave beers, and not just for the name) for me!

Aw, **Homebrew** , you’re only, what, a couple thousand miles away? Come on, it’s _beer_!

Um, did I mention there’ll be beer?
