We are now three days away from the start of this year’s Beer Bloggers Conference! It looks like there are now 88 registered attendees, and registration is still open if you would like to attend—yes it’s fairly last-minute, but I think this is going to be a really good conference and Portland is a premier beer city to be holding it in.

Good news! Beernews.org broke the story earlier this month that the Conference is a go! It’s taking place in Boulder, Colorado from November 5th through 7th (Friday through Sunday). There is room for about 150 people … Continue reading →
