Start of the weekend in Portland

Just arrived in Portland after a 7.5hr drive from Boise. Settled into our room at the Marriott and about to have our first of many microbrews for the weekend. First stop, Deschutes Pub downtown. The photo is the view from the hotel room with the Columbia River and Mount Hood in the background. Very nice!

A Good Weekend Is On The Way

Tomorrow I'm hosting a group brew for my local homebrew club, the Snake River Brewers. About 15 of us will pack my garage and backyard to make 70 gallons of a British ESB, eat some good food, and drink even better beer (mostly homebrew). Should be a great time for all. Getting together tonight too for setup and prep activities, including milling ~150 lbs of grain! Prost!
