It's Pub Night: A Portland Beer Blog
Meanwhile, a great friend from my years in Austin, Texas had started an entertaining beer blog called I Love Beer. In 2007 Lee published some emails of mine about Oregon beer on I Love Beer. It gave me the idea to start my own blog, named after the ritual weekly phone call or email rounding up friends for a night out: "Hey, it's pub night!".
I don't claim to be the most knowledgeable or most refined beer fanatic in the world. But I'm lucky to be in the thick of it here in Portland, and I want to share some of the fun with you.
It's Pub Night: A Global Beer Blog
October 25, 2023
I love having this place to write about beer when I feel like it. It definitely stopped being the "share the fun of Portland" blog after 2011. There were no posts at all in 2016, 2018-2020, nor the first 11 months of 2022. Now I split my time between Portland and Austin, and I'm more likely to write about things I see while travelling, since other writers cover current beer events in those cities much better than I ever could. My friends and I still do a lot of talking, theorizing, and plotting about beer.
