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:
- 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.
- Tasting more than a few really good beers. One of my favorites was this year's version of Pliny the Elder.
- Spending some quality time with my wife, son, nephew, and friends.
- Being a complete lush for a couple of days.
- Breaking my nose and still having fun.
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.
