Bye everyone. Not that I post a lot, but this will be the last on this platform in its current form. Peace and love to you all. I'll do all my beery posting on the BeervanaPod instagram account.

Hotter, drier seasons are threatening the traditions of German hops growers, who are fighting to preserve a way of life — and the flavor of your favorite beer.

The McMenamins have been the most important influence in Oregon craft beer. From early beer styles to defining the OR brew pub aesthetic to re-imagining historic properties. I salute them. Bravo! https://t.co/vlyeZWVU1F

It is also pretty good beer.

@Beervana @SkagitMalting If so, it likely speaks to the effect inflation is having on brewers’ ingredient choices. Trying to keep costs down. Blame Putin.

@tdmrussell @Beervana @meanwhilebeer I would so love a real seasonal beer garden here in Portland. I casually mentioned beer & food carts and tables in a fenced in space in Waterfront Park to Jeff. Wonder if it would actually work. The new cart pod on 5th looks promising, but a park-like setting is key to me.

Blind taste a dozen and a half mass market lagers, and you learn something about this much-maligned style. They don’t all taste the same, and in fact represent a surprisingly broad range. We made a few other discoveries along the way:

@BeervanaPod One of these two men knows a lot about beer. Hint: it is not the one on the right.

@tobiashrsb Der Rathskeller und Der Stiftskeller! Both in the Union and both wonderful. If memory serves (and it has been in long time) it is the Stiftskeller that has the murals.

Boil in beer and onion and finish off with a light grill (want them not to leak juice). Proper tekkers. You are welcome.
