Hey all,

For those of you in the Roseburg, OR area there will be a "microbrew walkabout" at "Wildlife Safari" in Winston (just south of Roseburg). The microbrew walkabout will be replacing the wine walk of years past. The event is on June 7th.
The woman setting it up said she could use some help finding microbreweries willing to commit to the event. As far as details she hasn't given me any yet, but if your in the business or know anyone who is it would be great to get involved in the event. She also mentioned that she might want some local brew clubs to brew a batch of beer for it also, so if your in a club you might want to mention this at your next meeting.
If you've never been to Wildlife Safari it is a pretty cool place and is a nice place to walk around check out all of the different animals and have a brew. Sorry I don't have any more details at this time, but as soon as she gives me some info I will post something new. Also if I get any responses on the fourm I will try and contact her with the news.

Is Ross and Walkabout Brewery doing anything with this?
There are several Eugene breweries that I would think would be up for somethinglike this. Also, when you find out more info, let me know. I'll see if our club, Cascade Brewers Society, would be interested in stepping up. You can contact me via email. It's in my profile.

Nothing like fighting with a monkey to get your beer back.

Very good idea keep us posted I might consider getting a crew together to come down as well.

The womans name is Barbie VanSlyke if you want you can e-mail here at Wildlife Safari. If your a brewery owner I'm sure should love to here that your interested in contributing to the event.

They also have an Octoberfest lined up for October (not September), so you can go to both.

Micro Brew Walkabout

at

Wildlife Safari

June 7th

5:30 pm ? 8:30 pm

The Wildlife Safari would like to invite you to participate in our

1st Annual ?Micro Brew Walkabout?

Wildlife Safari is a very unique venue for such an event. For those of you that have never been here you are in for a real treat!

Our Safari Village will be the specific venue. Vendors will be placed throughout the Village. The Safari could place you next to the Gibbon Pond, the Cheetah Spot, The Maned Wolves?.. strategically WILD places!

Participants (guests) will arrive at 5:30 pm and begin the ?Walkabout?.

Each Participant will be given a Wildlife Safari Pub Glass as they pay for the event. They will then leisurely ?Walkabout? Safari Village sampling! We will have other booths also set up with appetizers such as wings, ribs and stuff mushrooms. Acoustic music will be played throughout the village by local artists. We will be offering a ?Feast of Kings? at 6:00 for an additional $10.00 to our guests. We had a wonderful success doing a Twilight Wine Stroll last year, and with a little adjusting there is no reason why we can not make way for Micro Brews to be spotlighted!

Bummer...June 7 is the same day as the Sasquatch brewfest here in Eugene. Guess there won't be many of us at the Walkabout...too bad, sounds like a fun event.
