Zwickelmania is today!
Oregon’s 11th annual statewide open house, Zwickelmania, takes place today in all parts of the state outside of Portland. (The Portland Metro one was last weekend.) From 11am to 4pm, breweries are opening their doors for behind the scenes tours, beer tastings, meet the brewer events, and more. It’s always a lot of fun and interesting to get to peek behind the curtain.

And for fun, you can generate and print out a Zwickelmania Bingo card to take with you to see if you can “win”! (Maybe you can get the Bend Ale Trail stops to give it an “official” Ale Trail stamp!) No actual prizes other than bragging rights…
