		<title>A Tour of Sodbuster Farms</title>

		<title>Hair of the Dog, a Great Way to Celebrate a Year in Portland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This time last year, we started fresh.  We embarked on something new.  It was exciting. This week marks the one year anniversary of when we moved to Portland from Chicago. To celebrate, we hit up the newly re-opened Hair of the Dog Brewery and Tasting Room in Southeast Portland earlier this week.  
First impressions of the new location are favorable.  Jeff Alworth at Beervana suggests [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Look for The Daily Pull</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you've visited The Daily Pull before, you'll notice that the header image at the top of this page has changed since your last visit.  When I started this blog at the beginning of the year, I really didn't give much thought to the header image.  I simply cropped a photo, added some text, and called it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brewer Ben Edmunds talks about Gose and Breakside Brewery&#8217;s first beer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's not everyday that a new brewery decides to brew a Gose style beer for its first offering.  But that's exactly what Ben Edmunds, brewer at Breakside Brewery, decided to do.  As Portlanders wait patiently for one of the city's newest breweries to start pouring its own beers on-site, some lucky people were able to try [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cascadian Dark Ales Draw National Attention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year, the Cascadian Dark Ale vs. Black IPA debate has been a hot topic among beer bloggers, writers, and beer enthusiasts across the country.  Everyone has his or her own opinion of what the style should be called.  And appropriately, there's perhaps no other region of the country where the debate has been discussed more than in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bored Beer Connoisseurs and Commoners</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following my postearlier this week, Oakshire Brewing's Matt Van Wyk offered his view about Oregon Craft Beer Month and the possibility of a Portland Beer Week event.  While his view differs from mine, Matt offers some great points.  And because his post is not open for comments, I thought I'd respond here.
After reminding us that not everyone is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Portland Beer Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While perhaps an unpopular view, I'm happy that I came across posts from Beer Around Town and Dr. Wort expressing a shared lack of enthusiasm for Oregon Craft Beer Month.  While these posts were written leading into Oregon Craft Beer Month, I was optimistic about my first July living in Portland when I first read them a month [...]]]></description>
