i love me a beercation
apparently i am not alone!

weekend

yikes, i’ve been back from vegas for over a week now
and i haven’t had a minute to sit down to write about the beer festival and all the other amazing beer places i found downtown
(or write the couple of reviews i owe people…)
and now i’m off to portland for the weekend
(poor, poor me!)
there will be beer drinking of course,
and a trip to belmont station to find some fabulous beers to bring home with me,
but beer is not actually the focus of my trip this time
saturday is the launch party for cider riot – a kickstarter funded cidery
and since we’ll be in town anyway, sunday i’ll be at the timbers game, sitting with the army!
i am very much looking forward to taking to the streets,
and pogoing the night away,
not to mention getting my first taste of cider riot’s ciders
