Twitter helped me Keep Portland Beered

Jun 01 2009

There is yet another incentive for people to join the wonderfully addictive world of Twitter, free stuff!  Once your following has been established, you never know who is going to read your tweets and grant your wishes!  On Tuesday May 26, Ryan tweeted: “RT @dhrube: Can’t wait- ZooBrew microfest at Oregon Zoo Friday 5/29 5-10 pm. Great scene 4 beer/food/tunes/friends http://tinyurl.com/6rsen2” and like the heavens had heard him he got a message to pick up two free tickets for Zoo Brew from Dan Rubin at Blackfish Creative.

Luckily for me, Ryan was going to our New York office to meet with clients so I happily went in his place.  It was a perfect day for music, beer and friends.  This fact was only enforced when all the tickets were sold out by 6:30!

The deliciously potent Lagunitas 2009 Correction Ale 7% ABV

With over 20 breweries to choose from and 10 tastings included with admission, who could blame the throws of thirsty Portlander’s enthusiasm?  There was a selection of seasonal summer ales along with tried and true favorites.  The only line that seamed to suffer was the one for root beer.  We don’t proudly state “Keep Portland Beered” for nothing.  My only complaint is that there is only one a year.
