While in Silverton for the Oregon Garden Brewfest last weekend, one of my goals was to visit Seven Brides Brewing, Silverton’s lone brewery that has been brewing beer since 2008, to check out their brewery and Tap Room and to sample the range of their brews.

It wasn’t … Continue reading →

I thought it might be interesting to post occasional pictures of the construction progress, so a few days ago I went out and grabbed a couple more, in roughly the same locations from where I took the first pictures. Yes, it’s just construction right now, there … Continue reading →
