Yes! It’s here!
Eugene’s own Beer Week is on the next row of your calendar, and packed with beer-in-hand good times. Since you can’t say Eugene Beer Week without “you,” I recommend “you” get “your” ass to some of these events. Notables include a fully stocked week at The Bier Stein (Tower of Sour lives!) and Sasquatch Brew Fest.
I’ve listed events below in alphabetical order of venue. The EBW website is currently down, and the Facebook page is… not convenient to navigate, so here’s the compendium (updated 6/1/23) for your pleasure:
