The organizers over at the Oregon Gardent Brewfest have just announced the beer list for this year’s event, being held the last ween in April. This year has more breweries than ever with a great looking list of craft beer, cider, and mead. I am excited to get to the festival and taste some of the latest additions to the craft beer scene.

A record 62 breweries will be presenting their products, for a total of 125 beers, ciders and mead. Event hours are Noon to 11 pm Friday & Saturday, and Noon to 6 pm Sunday. Located in the historic town of Silverton, just an hour’s drive from the Portland metropolitan area, the Oregon Garden Brewfest also features live music from 22 area bands, food, tasting lessons by Women Enjoying Beer and a homebrew competition presented by Capitol Brewers.
