Under the tent on day 1 of 5…

Ahhhh, another year another Oregon Brewers Fest!  This year they extended the fest from 4 days to 5 days as they don’t have room to expand the event space by the river.  OBF founder Art Larrance stated, “If you can’t add space, add time.”  This is such a great beer festival but I have to say I feel very fortunate that we are sponsors for the Brewers Dinner on Tuesday evening as the attendance is pretty limited to brewers and industry people + most of the beers are ‘one offs’ that don’t see the light of day when the fest opens to the public after the morning parade.  Thanks to Brian at the OBF for coordinating and thanks also to the crew at Rogue for manning their smokers to feed the masses!

This one from August Schell might even be older...
This one from August Schell Brewery might even be older than the WSBC banner. 
Always neat to see the banners from years past, I'd guess this was from 1993?
