With each Sasquatch Legacy Project beer poured, $1 will go to the Glen Hay Falconer Foundation’s Brewing Scholarship Program. Each Legacy dollar raised will be matched by Saraveza and donated to the Caldwell family.

    This year’s Legacy is a NW Imp. Oatmeal Porter. Walking Man’s head brewer, Jacob Leonard describes the beer; “Sweet citrus, with dank pine and dark rich chocolate.”

    The Iron Man IPA is a VERY hoppy beer made with honey and agave nectar in the kettle. Jim, who was responsible for the beautiful Walking Man iron work and loved tequila and honey, went missing a few months ago.

You don’t have to be a housewife to attend, but you do have to be a woman! The two-hour afternoon class takes ladies on an entertaining and educational tour of several beer styles, as Lisa shares tips on pairing beer with food, cooking with beer — participants even get a take-home recipe book — and great stories about beer’s HERstory (instead of history). Light fare in the form of finger food and tapas will be provided so students don’t get hungry!

    Multiple Locations
    Portland, OR
    10:00 AM

    The Urban Assault Ride (UAR) is a funky bike scavenger hunt that involves navigating city streets, taking on unique physical challenges, and then relaxing at an after-party. Weekend warriors, racers, bike commuters, couples and families unite as teams of two take to the town by bike.

    During the ride, checkpoint challenges may include power-sliding adult big wheels, face-first slip ‘n slide action, or even jousting on BMX bikes. The challenges vary in each city, so participants never know what’s in store. Prior to the event, checkpoints are listed on the event’s website so everyone has plenty of time to plot a course.

    The first team to hit all checkpoints and complete the final obstacle course takes home a pair of New Belgium cruiser bikes. The top three teams in each of the four divisions will also receive awesome prizes. A celebration follows at the after-party with New Belgium beer and an interactive prize raffle with a host of two-wheeled shenanigans.

    New Belgium Brewing, the Title Sponsor of the 2009 Urban Assault Ride, is well known for its love of all things bicycle and for its sustainable practices.

    Green Mammoth Imperial IPA: The Imperial version of Laurelwood’s popular Organic IPA, with Cascade Ahtanum and Amarillo hops.

    Saison: To create this unique beer, Laurelwood uses Organic malted barley, white wheat malt, oats, maize, and Belgian candy sugar. Subtle notes of cirtrus are added by the use of orange and lemon. Most of the character of this beer is thanks to the yeast, a strain from the Ardennes region of Belgium.

    1483 Duane St. Astoria, OR
    10:29 PM

    The Fort George Brewery + Public House will celebrate and honor the art of homebrewing at a special beer-pairing dinner on Wednesday, April 15th.

    Homebrewing provides the passion, creativity and innovation that resurrected and continues to sustain the craft brewing movement. Homage will be paid to these pioneers by featuring a five-course dinner designed to complement each beer.

    Homebrewers interested in featuring their beer should submit a two-bottle sample to the Fort George Brewery by 5pm, Friday March 27th for consideration.

    Beers will be selected based on quality, variety, creativity and compatibility with food. Only one beer per homebrewer will be chosen, though brewers may submit as many varieties as they wish.

    The homebrewer must be able to provide tasting samples for a dinner of 35 guests (approximately 3.3 gallons or 35 12oz. bottles) on April 15th and will have a seat of honor at the dinner. No homebrew will be bought or sold.

    Selected homebrewers will be notified by April 1st and the full menu will be released at this time.

    Last year’s Homebrewer’s Dinner was arguably one of the most exciting Fort George beer dinners to date. The brewing talent on display challenged the kitchen to create an exceptionally innovative menu and the atmosphere was jubilant, as each brewer described his beer and passion for homebrewing.

    Urban Assault Ride

    Multiple Locations
    Seattle, WA
    10:00 AM

    The Urban Assault Ride (UAR) is a funky bike scavenger hunt that involves navigating city streets, taking on unique physical challenges, and then relaxing at an after-party. Weekend warriors, racers, bike commuters, couples and families unite as teams of two take to the town by bike.

    During the ride, checkpoint challenges may include power-sliding adult big wheels, face-first slip ‘n slide action, or even jousting on BMX bikes. The challenges vary in each city, so participants never know what’s in store. Prior to the event, checkpoints are listed on the event’s website so everyone has plenty of time to plot a course.

    The first team to hit all checkpoints and complete the final obstacle course takes home a pair of New Belgium cruiser bikes. The top three teams in each of the four divisions will also receive awesome prizes. A celebration follows at the after-party with New Belgium beer and an interactive prize raffle with a host of two-wheeled shenanigans.

    New Belgium Brewing, the Title Sponsor of the 2009 Urban Assault Ride, is well known for its love of all things bicycle and for its sustainable practices.
