The Oregon Garden Brewfest is a-coming on April 27th and 28th and I will be attending thanks to a kind invite from the good folks at the Oregon Garden. I wasn't sure about it at first, frankly, but then I had a gander at the beer list and my mind was made up immediately. I have never been to this fest nor the garden itself, so I can't recommend it based on personal experience but those who have generally rave. See, for example, Jeff at Beervana. Jeff complains about the lack of a beer list at the website so in let me rectify that here.
