Picked up my OBF Mugs Today!

Beer Luvvas,

We are in the final countdown to the 2009 Oregon Brewers Festival! Woohoo!

For the few who haven't read this elsewhere already, there is a major change in the economics of OBF attendance this year.... The only way to purchase a mug (required for beer consumption) at this year's festival is to purchase the Mug/Program/Chips combo. For those who enjoy using the program for taking notes, this probably isn't a terrible scenario. Although it requires each member of your drinking/tasting party to also have a program of their own.

If you wish to purchase a mug, and only a mug, there are options available to those who can plan in advance.... Certain local beer sellers have been authorized to sell mugs on behalf of OBF since July 10th:

BridgePort, Portland, Rogue, The Green Dragon, Deschutes, Korkage Wine Shop, and the Raccoon Lodge

So, if you don't think you need multiple programs for this year's OBF, bring $5 cash for each mug you wish to purchase to any of the above establishments and prepay for your tasting vessal! I can vouch that you can buy at least 3 at once.

Prost to the 2009 Oregon Brewer's Festival!
