Mayor Tom Potter Continues to Drink on The Job!

July 25, 2007 — Julian Chadwick

As reported a couple weeks ago (Mayor Tom Potter gets to drink on the job–how sweet!), an important function of a Portland Mayor is to drink beer.  It looks like he’s doing it again tomorrow.

From his calender:

11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
LEAD/WALK:
Oregon Brewers Festival Parade
loc: (Rogue Brewery to Waterfront)

Wow, I really have to go hang with da mayor and his crew.

ZOMG! We Ran Out of Beer!

July 24, 2007 — Julian Chadwick

Catastrophic News from Portland Beer Blog

Shortage in and around Portland Area. According to Darron Welch, Brewmaster at Pelican:

Due to steep in-house demand, we have had to suspend draft sales to our wholesalers. We are continuing to sell bottled India Pelican Ale through our wholesalers. We are still selling kegs here at the Pelican Pub & Brewery as dock sales (occasionally a style or two is not available for a few days).
We are currently evaluating our various options for long-term growth and working on plans to address demand and growth over the long haul.

Brews to You!

Darron
