Kaktus scrambles to open Nob Hill taproom for New Year’s Eve
The folks over at Kaktus Brewing might be nuts. Or, maybe they are just ambitious. But, probably nuts. They are currently in a mad rush to have their new Nob Hill taproom ready for a New Year’s Eve celebration. I stopped by Monday afternoon amid the chaos, and more than anything I came away impressed…
Keeping Portland beered even when things get weird
Each year, the Portland Holiday Ale fest sets me right into my holiday mood, and this year was no exception. The festival was more expensive, yet more crowded than any of the previous years, with a $35 entry fee. Entry included a plastic mug and 12 tickets (so essentially the price just to walk in…
The second annual Santa Fe Open brewing competition was another success
The Santa Fe Open brewing competition has once again come and gone, and this year the event was bigger and better than the first. Envisioned by the Sangre De Cristo Craft Brewers (the local Santa Fe homebrew club) in 2014, this event has been held in early to mid-November for home brewers and professional brewers…

Santa Fe Brewing’s Oktoberfiesta 2015 in pictures
Santa Fe Brewing Company’s Oktoberfiesta was this last weekend, and as always, it was one big, crazy, fundraiser event! This is my third year in attendance, but it was my first year as event coordinator for Santa Fe Brewing. This was my baby, and along with the help and hard work of so many, this…
Palate Fatigue: All the hop bombs you can safely fit into one place
A while back we wrote up a full preview on Palate Fatigue, the special event being held this Saturday from 2 to 6 p.m. at Sister Bar downtown. The only thing we did not have back then was the final list of beers that would be poured. Well, now we have them, or at least…
