Post Valentines Day beer drinking in Hillsdale

February 11, 2008 by Dave 2 Comments

Hillsdale Brewery & Public House (1505 SW Sunset Blvd) will host the 15th annual Hillsdale Brew Fest, aka the Battle of the Belt, this Saturday.

From the McMenamins website:

On Saturday, February 16, 2008, the notorious “Battle of the Belt” rages for the fifteenth time at Hillsdale Brewery & Public House. McMenamins’ Hillsdale Brewfest is a day-long event featuring twenty original brews, food specials, revelry, merriment and – most important – a competition for the coveted Belt. The Hillsdale Brewfest is free to attend, begins at 11 a.m. and is open to guests of all ages; those 21 and over may taste the ales.

The winner of the belt earns the right to represent McMenamins at the 2008 Oregon Brewers Festival.

I plan to attend despite the lack of Belgian style beers:

    I’m getting buzzed just looking at some of those %’s. That probably doesn’t mean much since I haven’t had any alcohol for over a year.

    VeganFabulous –

    I don’t know how you do it: vegan *and* a teetotaler?! 😉

    I think I could go vegan, but I don’t know if I could ever give up my Belgian beers 🙁
