This is a relatively new event started at a relatively new Portland brewpub. The place in the Green Dragon . They aren't brewing their own beer yet, and the menu hasn't quite gelled, although the Belgian style fries are quite good.
And just because he's not brewing himself yet doesn't mean there is any shortage of craft beer. They are running about 14 taps, all of them micros, and constantly changing.
As to the event itself, they've set up a seperate mini-bar area where they are inviting other local brewers to come in every Tuesday night, bring a few kegs of their own stuff and chat it up with the customers. It's a nice laid back event where the serious and not so serious beer hound can pick up a lot of information on what is going on in the local scene.
This last Tuesday the brewer guest was the owner/operator of my favorite Vancouver, Wa Brewpub, Salmon Creek. Their website is currently under construction, but keep an eye on it. This man creates solid European style beers and his wife is an excellent cook. One of the reasons I love this place is it really gives one the feeling of having been invited into someone's home for the evening. I am reliably informed that they have ordered women's shirts so look for them on the shopping page as soon as they have the website finished.
