Today’s beer consumer has more options than ever, and when faced with hundreds of different beers, how do you choose what to drink? Join beer writer and aficionado, Jon Abernathy, for a presentation on beer styles, and a special BYOB virtual tasting. 21+.

If you want to sip along, purchase a total of 4 beers, one of each of the four beer styles in this list put together by Jon Abernathy:

BEER LIST:
Hazy IPA (also called New England IPA, and can include Milkshake IPA)
1. Sunriver Brewing makes excellent hazy IPAs, though I don't know what specifically is on the shelves right now; anything labeled as such is a great choice
2. Boss Rambler Beer Club brews a number of hazies very much to the new style; the Sea Dodge IPA can be ordered from their website, and others are on tap at their taproom
3. Deschutes Brewery's Fresh Haze Hazy IPA is approachable and a good choice too.
4. Any other Hazy IPA in this category would be fine, depending on what's available.

Sour beers -particularly the "kettle sour" style that is soured with lactobacillus
1. Bend Brewing Company's Ching Ching is a great starting beer in this category that includes fruit
2. Wild Ride Brewing has their line of Tarty to the Party sours, also with fruit
3. 10 Barrel's Crush series are all sours and offer some variety
4. Immersion Brewing has a sour called Sexy Girlfriend as well

Pilsner and other craft lagers
1. Crux Pilz from Crux Fermentation Project is a terrific example of these new(er) American craft lagers
2. Worthy Brewing has Sol Power Pilsner which is another nice one
3. Three Creeks Brewing Tres Arroyos Mexican Lager
4. Cascade Lakes Brewing High Desert Lotus Pils

Porter - going back to a classic style
1. Deschutes' Black Butte Porter is a style benchmark and definitely a great choice
2. Three Creeks' FivePine Chocolate Porter is excellent as well
3. Wild Ride's Nut Crusher Peanut Butter Porter is fun for a flavorful twist
4. Any other porter or even another dark style like stout is fine and I can answer questions about.Jon Abernathy wrote "Bend Beer: A History of Brewing in Central Oregon", and has been blogging about craft beer since 2004 when he launched “The Brew Site,” a blog dedicated to all things beer and brewing that has documented the change and rapid growth of the local brewing scene. Jon’s been drinking and homebrewing beer for far longer, judges homebrew competitions, and served as the president of the local Central Oregon Homebrewers Organization for three years.

Discuss "Upstream" by Mary Oliver via Zoom. Click the link above or join at https://zoom.us/j/157999301 or with Meeting ID 157 999 301

Physical copies are available first-come first-serve at the Downtown Bend Customer Service Desk. Or you can place digital and physical copies on-hold here: https://dpl.bibliocommons.com/item/show/1653332094

While most of the essays in this collection have been published previously, they span the last 20 years of this National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet's life so that the experience of reading them together is almost like reading a memoir. Rather than a seamless narrative about the major events that have shaped Oliver's life, the book is an extended meditation on the significant discoveries that formed her mind: the quiet woods near her childhood home in rural Ohio, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson, cool solitude. In each essay, Oliver reflects on these influences and reveals how they have made her the keen observer and artist that she is today. Her focus on nature and the concept of seeing calls to mind Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. Certainly, Oliver's collection will appeal to Dillard fans and to anyone who enjoys nature writing, but readers who have found Dillard too effusive will find Oliver much more precise and, therefore, much more accessible.
