A note from our friends at Rogue Nation:
In support of American Beer Month and to kick-off the 2001 Oregon Brewers Festival Rogue Ales Public House will host a Beer and Cheese Tasting with Fred Eckhardt and have Todd Mercer on site for a book signing.
Fred Eckhardt best known for his Beer and Chocolate tastings is branching out to hold a Beer and Cheese tasting starting at 8pm on July 25th at the Rogue Ales Public House in Portland. Fred will match the beers and cheeses and provide an evening of fun that is both educational and economical for a cost of $10 per participant. Fred, who lives and writes in Portland, is the author of The Essentials of Beer Style and The Essentials of Sake and writes articles and editorials for many of the Industries publications.
Todd Bryant Mercer will also be at the Public House to sign copies of his book, Bike & Brew America: The Rocky Mountain Region, in which he pairs the best mountain biking trails with the nearest brewpubs. Todd has ridden over hills and on the trails in his book and tasted all the beers at the brewpubs he recommends. Todd will make it possible for travelers to grab a copy of his book and know where the best trails and ales are in the region they are visiting. A great book for beer and bike enthusiasts.
