Logsdon Organic Farmhouse Ales Wins “People’s Choice” Vote for the Second Consecutive Year at the 2012 Portland’s Cheers to Belgian Beers Festival

PORTLAND, Ore. (April 24, 2012) More than 1,600 beer fans attended the 2012 Portland’s Cheers to Belgian Beers festival at Metalcraft Fabrication on Saturday, April 21. More than 679 ballots were cast, and fans selected Logsdon Organic Farmhouse Ales’ Cerasus as the “People’s Choice” champion. As the winner of the 2012 competition, Logsdon Organic Farmhouse Ales has earned the right to select the yeast strain for next year’s event.

“The event continues to grow, and each year is a greater success,” says Oregon Brewers Guild Executive Director, Brian Butenschoen. “Forty breweries participated this year and contributed some delicious and innovative variations on the Canadian/Belgian Ale and Roeselare Ale Blend yeast strains.”

This is the second time Logsdon Organic Farmhouse Ales has tasted “People’s Choice” victory; the brewery also took home the coveted prize at the 2011 festival. Other top voter favorites were Block 15 Brewing Company, Occidental Brewing Co., Cascade Brewing Barrel House, The Commons Brewery, Breakside Brewery and Double Mountain Brewery.

The Portland’s Cheers to Belgian Beers festival started in 2007 as a celebration of Belgian style beers. Participating breweries were required to produce beers from the same two strains of yeast and add their own creative spin. This year, the 40 participating breweries created 45 unique brews, 39 of which were brewed using the chosen yeast strains.

Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. Expands into Washington State
04/24/12
Bend, Oregon
Cascade Lakes Brewing Company, today announced its expansion plans into Washington State effective May 1st. The Brewery over the last 12 months has undergone an expansion encompassing the brew house system as well as the facility. A 25-barrel brew house system from JV NW replaced the 17 year old system allowing them to brew 775 gallons per batch up to three batches a day. This produces 25% more product and, in combination with the facility remodel, can support an expansion into Washington State.
“At last, we have the ability to brew more beer, thus it’s a natural time to expand our markets beyond Oregon and Idaho and into our neighbor Washington,” stated Chris Justema, president and partner. “This has been on our radar for years. I moved from Seattle to Bend 12 years ago, so I look forward to going back into a market I know and love. I hear our neighbors to the north are thirsty up there and we are going to do our best to help solve that problem.”

THE SASQUATCH BREW FEST, NOW A SINGULAR WEST COAST BEER FESTIVAL TO CELEBRATE 10 YEARS WITH CRAFT-BREWED BEER, FOOD & MUSIC JUBILEE

Eugene, Ore. – Born during a celebration of life, the 10th annual Sasquatch Brew Fest will once again feature craft-brewed beers, many brewed specifically for the festival, on Saturday, May 12, 2012 in the Eugene Hilton, located at 66 East 6th Avenue in Eugene, Ore.

A popular part of the festival, the Sasquatch Brew Fest Beer Dinner is scheduled at the Eugene Hilton for Friday, May 6, 2011. The beer dinner pairs select cuisine with craft-brewed beer during a night that celebrates the brewing industry as well as the life and craft of Glen Hay Falconer. For reservation information, please visit http://www.northwestlegendsfoundation.org/dinner.html.

The Sasquatch Brew Fest is dedicated to the memory of Glen Hay Falconer, a popular and leading Pacific Northwest professional brewer. Falconer was the skilled head brewer at the now-closed Wild Duck Brewery in Eugene until his untimely passing in 2002.

Tickets to the Sasquatch Brew Fest will be available when the doors open at 12 p.m. for $10. Entrance includes a commemorative glass and two taste tickets. Additional taste tickets will be available for purchase throughout the festival grounds.

The Sasquatch Brew Fest will also feature a home brew contest, administered by the Cascade Brewer’s Society, a Eugene-based beer club. Sanctioned by the American Homebrewer’s Association and the Beer Judge Certification Program, home brew contest registration is available now online by visiting http://www.northwestlegendsfoundation.org/homebrew.html.

Live music will feature The Scott Law Band, The Ty Curtis Band, The Lionel Young Band, The Scott Pemberton Trio, and the Craig Sorseth Trio.

Produced by the Northwest Legends Foundation, the Sasquatch Brew Fest will donate proceeds from the non-profit beer festival to the Glen Hay Falconer Foundation, which then provides two professional brewing scholarships to worthy candidates each chosen by a committee.
