The beer list for this year’s Oregon Brewers Festival has been posted, and it’s pretty impressive! There are all the usual suspects, of course, but there are a few standouts that caught my eye:
- Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale from Boulevard Brewing
- Hibiscus Ginger Beer from Caldera Brewing
- Dogfish Head (TBA)
- Exit 4 from Flying Fish Brewing
- Sofie from Goose Island
- Le Freak from Green Flash Brewing
- Strawberry Cream Ale from Laht Neppur Brewing
- Coconut Porter from Maui Brewing
- 7 Grain Saison from The Bruery
- Reggae Junkie Gruit from Upright Brewing
Seems like a lot of new appearances in this group, and it’s always nice to see far-reaching breweries making an appearance at the Brewfest.
There’s a nice showing of some of the (relative) Oregon newcomers as well: Hop Valley, Mt. Emily Ale House, Natian Brewery, Seven Brides Brewing, Southern Oregon, Upright, and Vertigo. (Did I miss anybody?)
All in all, based on the list in place so far, looks like it’s shaping up to be a great ‘Fest this year.
