While I have been pleading for some additional Willamette Valley beer bloggers, Central Oregon has been chewing through them. Bend’s long-running (since ’06) homebrew blog Brewerman abruptly stopped in January and ’10 newcomer The Bend Beer Blog petered out in May, after just three months.
Jon Abernathy seems to be the exception to the current turmoil; not only continuing The Brewsite, but also becoming a featured writer for The Hop Press. And then there is the new Bend Beer Blog; not to be confused with The Bend Beer Blog mentioned above. Started in April, this review-oriented blog seems to be on a steady pace.
Doing my small part to further the exposure of Bend’s active bloggers and hopefully stem some of this turnover, I added both of Jon’s sites and the Bend Beer Blog to the roll. Here’s to continued success guys.
Cheers!
Kevin
