Oregon is known for beers and microbreweries. In fact, here are several facts about this beer-minded state from the Oregon Beer website. You can learn all the facts by clicking on the link. So on with some of the facts:
1. There are 51 breweries operating in Portland, more than any other city in the world.
2. In 2010, there was one Oregon brewery for every 23,465 citizens.
3. In 2010, Oregon was the number 2 hop growing state in the nation.
Got that? Now on to the festival.
On Saturday, February 2nd, Monmouth and Independence are going dark from noon to 9:00PM. Joining up with several other breweries, such as Yeasty Beasty (that's definitely a name thought up by an Oregonian), The Rogue Shuttle Bus will be running all day to different locations serving the dark beers. Porters, Stouts, and Black Lagers, Oh my! So if you are a true Oregonian, and have some free time, come on down to taste the dark side of Oregon's Craft Brews. There is even a Facebook Page to join: Going Dark Tour. One last thing, it starts at the Rogue Farms Hopyard. (3590 Wigrich Road, Independence, Oregon 97351) Bottoms Up!
