Today is the first day of the Oregon Brewers Festival. We drove into downtown Portland and finally found a
parking space. We got stopped by the Brewers Festival kickoff parade but it didn’t last long. We have
a friend in Portland who used to live in Houston. Emil met us at the festival at noon and we stayed until 5
pm. The entrance fee was $20 -- this got
you a plastic glass and 13 tokens. Each
token was good for a 3 oz. pour of beer.
I used 12 tokens and saved one as a souvenir. Jim used all 13 of his
tokens. It was 99 degrees today but the
festival had a really nice mister system that I walked through a number of
times to cool off. After leaving we
made a stop at Hair of the Dog and I had a “Fred” beer, and Jim had an IPA. We also had supper there.
