Beer Luvvas,
Hoist a pint to local brewers who are helping jump start the wilting economy. O'Dell Brewing posted this link to Colorado State University's study of Larimer County's brewer's contributions to their local economy:
According to a study released by Colorado State University, Larimer County's breweries contribute $83.2 million to the local economy and grew at an employment rate of 22% since the year 2000. Compare that with the 6.3% growth for all other industries.
I don't have any local PDX data, but I'd guess that either Multnomah or Deschutes counties could compare.....
Think Global, Drink Local! Prost!
