As published yesterday here on Brewpublic, today is when Widmer has their first two of four new 1,750-bbl fermentation tanks installed. That is a lot of beer and the largest tanks in the Pacific Northwest.

Having found out over the weekend that the installation would begin around 8:00 a.m. this morning I arrive around 8:30 a.m. to be greeted by a nice Portland mist. I set up shop under a Read More…

Over the past 14 years I have met so many wonderful people in and around Portland. These people have shaped my life in ways that I can’t even begin to explain. Many of these fabulous folks I have met through being a beer blogger and an advocate of craft brew. The talented souls who work in a myriad of capacities to grow the artisan beer segment of our top notch community here in the Pacific Northwest have served not only as tastemakers, but they’ve helped me to evolve and redefine much of who I am and what I see in the everchanging world around me.

I remember when my friend Read More…

Those in the know when it comes to craft beer are aware of the amazing resource that BeerPulse.com provides. Originally founded in 2008 by Adam Nason when he was just 23 years old and then called BeerNews, the website has continued to grow and provide information on releases, happenings, and stories from all around the beer world. For us at Brewpublic, Nason’s prolific reporting work has been a great inspiration to say the least. We finally caught up with Adam at the Craft Brewers Conference in San Diego where he agreed to grant us this exclusive interview. Read More…

Instagram is a free photo sharing program launched in October 2010 that allows users to take a photo, apply a digital filter to it, and then share it on a variety of social networking services, including Instagram’s own.[*]

The Beer Wench is none other than Brewpublic’s favorite comRAD blogger, Ashley V Routson. Here we have a pictorial recount of the past weekend that was certainly not to be forgotten.

Ashley made it to Portland after a bit in the airport laid over in San Francisco. A short stay in Beervana couldn’t have passed by more quickly. Fun, craft beer, and relaxing. Lots of beers at By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA, no doubt. Check out these awesome Instagram pics! Read More…

Participating in the latest Session (#62) was a very interesting experience to say the least. For the first Friday of each month, a different beer blogger comes up with a unique  theme or topic, then anyone interested in participating is instructed to write a post on their own website and link it to the host website. The following week, the “host” blogger then conjures up a list and a brief synopsis of each post.

For The Session, Brewpublic chose the idea of “What Drives Beer Bloggers?”  We threw the following out there for our community of beer bloggers to chime in:

Your mission as a craft beverage blogger reading this post, should you choose to accept it, is to compose a post on the topic of “What Drives Beer Bloggers.” There are no rigid guidelines about how to write about this topic but we’d certainly love to hear about the history behind your blog, your purpose in creating it, its evolution, and/or what your goals in keeping it going.
