Didn't see anything about PDX Beer week so I figured I would start a thread. Thoughts on a couple events I've been too so far: Fruit Beer Festival - Was massively disappointed considering the breweries invovledy. Allegory was good as was Pfriem's Nectarine sour, but that was about it. Breakside's Pastry beer was just not my thing Olympia Provisions/Wayfinder Pairing - Holy hell this was amazing. Completely nailed the pairing and Wayfinder's new Kolsch is one of the best around right out of the gate. Dirty Pretty Brewing/Breakside's collab and official beer of PDX beer week - Some background....ChefsTable became a majority shareholder of Ross Island Brewing and has since been renamed it Dirty Pretty Brewing. Anyway their Hazy was listed as the official beer of the PDX beer week (likely helped by some contributions by Chefs Table). I did not like it at all. Almost no body, pure juice, very little hop backbone, and a non-existent finish. Events I will be checking out this week. - Reuban's/Bale Breaker Tap Take Overs at Belmont Station and Saraveza - Masters of IPA at Ecliptic - Beer and Cheese Fest. Anybody else planning on hitting anything up?
I don't know if it was beer week related (especially since it's Reubens), but Reuben's had a popup at SW Lardo this weekend. All of their taps were Reubens, a pleasant surprise for $3 happy hour.
