I've never been to any beer festival, but it seems OBF is one of the "major" festival. So that, plus an excuse to visit lovely Portland for a weekend is very tempting. But I'll wait until I have a job first before I decide whether to come. 
Thanks for the head-up and hope to meet many of you.

Hate to break it to you, but I think you were looking at last year's participants; they change from year-to-year and don't usually do consecutive years. No worries though. I'm sure you can get some local yokel to fix you up with whatever you like.

Noooo, they have to be there!!! They actually sponsored an event for me here in Maryland a couple years ago. I still have my Dead Guy Ale tattoo!
I checked, they will be there:

Is this cancelable/refundable? I'd love to go, but don't know yet if I can go. So the prudent thing would be to book now...
Thanks!</font>

I didn't see this until today, but count me in too. I just booked at the Westin as well even though I don't have AAA, but will figure that out later. Maybe I can use my sisters since we have the same last name? I am not really a big beer drinker, however, those who know me know I certainly can hold my own

)If not, I'm sure many other FTers (myself included) have AAA cards and would check in with you.

I don't have AAA either but after the last four months, I wish I did. Even if I don't take into account the money I would have saved in towing, I often find discounts on travel and hotels that would pay for the yearly fee time and time again.
I'll be a member before July. It's well worth it
hmmmm.... beer
