About an hour ago, the beers of Oregon Homegrown started pouring at Roscoe's. And two folks were already getting flights! 💪
If you show up today, you might even get a Celebrate Oregon Beer sticker for your collection. The beers keep pouring Sat and Sun.
It’s Stratalicious!
Oregon Homegrown is a new beer collaboration project put together by @oregonbeer.bsky.social. Two dozen breweries collaborated with nine hop farms, Indie Hops, and Wyeast Laboratories to craft a variety of beers featuring Strata hops.

My first taste of one of the Oregon Homegrown Collaborations. This is the TPK/Oregon City joint venture known as “Like, Comet, Subscribe.”
It’s a vivid, Stratalicious IPA, with a bunch of dankness shot through with shafts of citrus. A very impressive beer that augurs well for the project.

Two dozen breweries, nine hop farms, four taprooms, one hop breeder, and a yeast lab have all joined together for a statewide collaboration called Oregon Homegrown. It’s going to be special!

“To the breweries at the time, this seemed catastrophic. Karl Ockert, the founding brewer at BridgePort, laughed when he recalled learning that the Widmer Brothers were planning a brewery—and just a block away. “This city will never support another brewery,” he recalled thinking. “Two breweries? We’re toast!” Of course, the opposite happened. One brewery is a curiosity; two is a coincidence. Four is a phenomenon. Portland didn’t have a glut of new breweries—it had a critical mass.”

Stout month is underway in Astoria! There is nothing better than sitting in an Astoria pub with a pint of beer while sheets of rain pour from a charcoal sky. We have investigated this question exhaustively and can confirm it’s backed by science (TM). So get to Astoria and find a stout ASAP!
