2nd Annual
Eugene Beer Week
May 7-13, 2012
Taking place all over Eugene & Springfield!
Eugene, OR (April 12, 2012)
Eugene hosts its 2nd annual Beer Week May 7-13. Eugene Beer Week is a celebration of craft beer culture in the Willamette Valley. Venues and Breweries include Ninkasi, Oakshire, Hop Valley, Falling Sky, 16 Tons, The Bier Stein, Izakaya Meiji, Rogue, Cornucopia, Hot Mama’s Wings, the Eugene Hilton, Cascade Brewers Society, Boneyard Beer, Brewpublic, Sasquatch Brew Fest, Deschutes, Hopworks, and others.
Beer week will feature beer tastings, brewer’s dinners, special bottle releases, a home brew competition, and other events celebrating craft beer. Breweries, retailers, bars, restaurants, and beer writers join together helping bring greater awareness of our region’s craft beers. Eugene Beer Week will culminate with the Sasquatch Brewer’s Dinner and Brewfest, which celebrate the life of one of Eugene brewing legends: Glen Falconer.
The grass roots nature of this event brings a focus to Craft Beer and Eugene in a way that few, if any, events ever have. EugeneBeerWeek.org is the hub for the week with detailed information about all of the beer related events taking place. Events will be added to the website as we get closer to May.
