2009 Barleywine Festaroon!

Don't be confused by the name. This year's Barleywine Festaroon is a continuation of last year's Barleywine and Big Beer Tastival. As much as I am part of the Portland beer scene, it's hard for me to blog about these events. The simple reason is that I want to keep it all to myself. Not that I could drink all of this fantastic beer by myself (though I could put a pretty good dent in it), but at some point, the short lines will disappear and I'll have to fight for this selection of barleywines and big beers. I'm old, and I don't like to fight. Unless I've had several barleywines, and then you get into the chicken and egg situation...
For information on last year's event, you can check out the writeup, photos, and beer list. The simple facts are these:
- The dates are March 6 and 7.
- Gates open at noon both days close at ten.
- 1945 nw Quimby St.
- The tickets are $1.75 for a four ounce taste, no charge for admission.
