The largest craft beer event in Central Oregon has now come to a close. The Bend Brewfest now in its 8^th year attracted an estimated 20,000 people to this continually growing beer-centric mountain town in Oregon’s high desert. Forty-four breweries, one homebrew club and one winery had their beverages featured for all to enjoy.  Most breweries offered up two different beers, some were their year round, others offered were more rarer beers.

This being my first time attending the Bend Brewfest I was pleasantly surprised on how Read More…

After scraping away the remnants of our tastebuds from Saraveza’s 2nd Annual IIPA Fest over the past weekend, it’s time for us to shift gears and delve into some sours.

Yes, Belmont Station‘s hour of sour is upon us.  Puckerfest, their celebration of wild yeast ales is featuring a daily enfilade of over a dozen of these temptingly toothsome treats (how’s that for alliteration). Read More…

Oregon Craft Beer Month this July is going to be one hell of a ride with more killer events than you can shake a brew paddle at, so understandably, it will be impossible to attend them all. One event that the real heads won’t want to miss out on is Double Mountain‘s KRIEK KAMP.

Chillaxin’ in the Gorge with Double Mountain’s specialty beer and their pizza…holy crap their pizza! Vertical tastings and sensory training with Brewmaster Matt Swihart; hanging out at and getting a tour of Logsdon Farmhouse Brewery; helping in the beer making process at Double Mountain; picking cherries at Matt’s orchard in Odell for the next batch… Sounds pretty sweet, eh?!

In honor of Double Mountain’s most special and highly coveted brews,  co-founder Charlie Devereux says “We hereby invite the public to join a limited cadre of Double Mountain fanatics at our first-ever “KRIEK KAMP,” an immersive celebration of all things Kriek-y and good. Kampers will get to hang out with our brew staff; see the full picture of how our Devil’s and Rainier Krieks make the voyage from the farm to the glass; and even join in the process themselves.”

Really, can you think of a better craft beer event this summer?

The Double Mountaineers are still in the process of dialing in the complete details for this event, but here’s a peek at the itinerary:

Wed 7/13 pm — Pizza Party w/ Kriek Seminar and Vertical Tasting, led by Brewmaster Matt

Thurs 7/14 am  — In-depth Brew Tour and Sensory Training at the Brewery; Lunch

Thurs 7/14 pm — Brewery Tour at Logsdon’s Farmhouse Ales in Odell
