On the gray and rainy days in P-town, when I’m wondering if the sun will ever shine again, I try to remember one of the best things Portland summers offer: beer. I’ve been a loyal fan of the Brewer’s Fest since I moved out here, but that’s not until July. What to do until then? Well…

On the last weekend in June, head over to the North American Organic Brewers Festival at NoPo’s Overlook Park. Breweries from North America, England, Scotland, Germany, and Belgium will be represented, showing off everything from pils to porter.

In addition to promoting organic beer-making, the festival will have sustainability-oriented vendors and non-profit organizations showing off their wares. And, it just wouldn’t be Portland without a squad of local food carts, including fare for you veggies. Whoever said beer wasn’t good for you?

Later,
Keith
