Oregon Beer Festival – the tastings

So as you know, I tried to live blog the media event at Oregon Brewers Festival yesterday, and it didn’t work out very well. So I shot some 20 second reviews with my other camera, and just put them together. See below: My favorites of the tasting were Terminal Gravity’s Single Hop Double IPA, Boulevard’s [...]
