OBF 2007

obf_2007

Well, it's been a couple of weeks since I attended the Oregon Brewer's Festival.

We flew up to Oregon for a family vacation again, which included a lot of walking, beer tasting, fine food eating and a good, long run.

The high points of the trip were:
  1. Bumping into old friends Dave Buhler and Dick Cantwell (from Elysian Brewing), and attending their little party at Stumptown Coffee...the Avatar Jasmine IPA was exquisite.
  2. Tasting more than a few really good beers. One of my favorites was this year's version of Pliny the Elder.
  3. Spending some quality time with my wife, son, nephew, and friends.
  4. Being a complete lush for a couple of days.
  5. Breaking my nose and still having fun.
I wrote a more in depth report of some of our fun on my other blog.
Here are some photos from the trip:

I am so upset I missed the Brewfest this year. Of all the weekends for it to fall on it had to happen on the one I moved to Washington. I'm glad you had fun and got to see some sights. Powell's and Stumptown are definitely places I miss.
