Deschutes Brewery‘s website has a nice feature that I’ve completely overlooked in the past: their Now Pouring page, which lists the beers currently on tap at the brewpub. It was updated three days ago, on the 3rd, and if they keep it reasonably up to date (every few days), that’s … Continue reading

Previously they weren’t allowed to serve beer on-premise because of a construction issue, but that’s … Continue reading
I’m prescient. Last week I first blogged about Wildfire Brewing starting up (from the owners of JC’s Bar & Grill), and today there’s an article on them in the Bulletin. According to the Bulletin, they’re planning on opening in the next two months. “It’s sort of scary because nobody wants … Continue reading
A friend gave me heads-up that the owners of JC’s Bar & Grill downtown are starting their own brewery—WildFire Brewing. I found confirmation on JC’s MySpace page, where they say: JC’s is soon to be pouring beer from WildFire Brewing Company. This brewery was started by Jeremy and Chris and … Continue reading
