I already mentioned the book, Bend Beer, on my blog a couple weeks ago, and I want to mention it again as the official launch party is this Friday night at the Des Chutes Historical Museum.
Bend Beer official launch party at Des Chutes Historical Museum Fri Nov 7
It starts at 6:30 pm. According to Jon Abernathy, the author:
It will be an open format event, where I’ll be signing books and answering questions and will have a short, informal talk around 7 to 7:30. The Museum is generously opening up their doors for us for the evening to allow folks to explore the exhibits and the history of the region.
Deschutes Brewery has graciously agreed to join us for the evening, which I’m very excited about because it’s a great combination of Bend’s history with Bend’s first brewery! They will be pouring a keg of their pub specialty Botanical Ale. And Chef Rudy of Smokin’ Dan Brew & Q will be there as well serving up delicious food to pair with the beer.
Here’s the Facebook event page for the evening.
Jon says there is also a signing party event this Thursday at 5pm at Silver Moon Brewing as well.
I can attest that the Deschutes beer they are graciously providing is quite tasty. This is Veronica Vega’s Beers Made By Walking beer.
I have also heard rumor of an informal pub crawl after Friday’s signing event but you’ll have to be “present to win” on that one.
