This week's highlights

Looking for Oregon brewery events this weekend? The calendar opens with games and closes with a plate. Per Chehalem Valley Brewery's newsletter, Pub Olympics is Nov 5 in Newberg, and Block 15 Brewery & Tap Room says its Guided Pairings Tasting Experience is Nov 7 in Corvallis.

On the beer side, Chetco Brewing Company's newsletter lists I'm a Fun-gi Porcini Porter as coming soon in Brookings, and Great Notion Brewing & Barrel House says BBA 10pm is available in cans or bottles to go.

I'll say it flatly: a porter built around porcini is a style choice, not a gimmick. Porter generally tastes of roast, chocolate and toast, and mushroom is an earthy neighbor to all three. Whether Chetco leans that way is theirs to say.
