OREGON BREWERS GUILD CELEBRATES OREGON CRAFT BEER
MONTH WITH KICK-OFF EVENT AT THE HORSE BRASS PUB

It’s official, with a proclamation from Governor Ted Kulongoski, July is Oregon Craft Beer Month.  The Oregon Brewers Guild is ready to get the month-long party started right with an official kick-off event at Portland’s Horse Brass pub. Don Younger and the Horse Brass team have searched far and wide for a selection of new releases, world premier exclusives, rare and vintage beers to commemorate the special occasion.    All told, there will be 20-25 taps of these truly memorable Oregon beers.  The first keg to be tapped will be a firkin of Kolsch 55 from Rock Bottom Brewery by Oregon Brewers Guild President Van Havig.

With more than 120 beer events taking place across the state in July – 23 events on July 1st alone – there are plenty of opportunities for craft beer aficionados to celebrate Oregon’s craft brewing industry at their local pubs.
