Goodbye To Summer
It’s been a great summer. The hops grew tall and plump and at last, the summer has wound down. As sad as it might seem, we’ve still got some sunshine and great harvest season events to look forward to. Over the weekend, we homebrewed a hoppy treat from our fresh off the bine nuggets. We pedaled over to BiKETOBEERFEST at Hopworks before enjoying the Beer & Art event at the Portland Art Museum.
At the museum, Ben Flerchinger of Lucky Lab, Zack Beckwith of New Old Lompoc, and Chad Kennedy of Laurelwood delivered art-inspired dandies to the delight of long lines of NW beer lovers.
After a delicious evening of art and brew, Sunday consisted of a bit of football watching amidst brewing a dark hoppy beer. Give us a few weeks and we should be quaffing on that. Hope you are enjoying the finale of your warm months. Get ready to bundle up soon and enjoy the changing and falling of leaves. Prost!
