Buy a signed beer photo for Haiti: online auction continues through Sunday
I wanted to try an organize something that would help to raise more money than I could personally contribute to the Red Cross, so I came up with the idea for a beer-related auction. In order to help spread the word and sweeten the auction items, I'm working with Deschutes Brewery. Founder Gary Fish will be signing the four Deschutes related prints for the winners and the brewery will be contributing some hats, bottle openers, etc., to put into the bid package tomorrow to entice more bidding.

HUB pimps its ride: Episode 19, the forklift...
They've got some great rolling stock at Hopworks, such as the only-in-Beervana Hopworks/Metrofiets Bar Bike, and the company van, that has big vinyl decals that make it look as if its loaded with dozens of kegs...in true Hopworks fashion, even the stuff that the public doesn't see gets that Kustom Kulture touch, such as the brewery forklift, which I'm confident is the only one in Portland equipped with a disco ball...
