It’s a Stratalicious weekend at Westside Taphouse in Salem! Please come and try some of the amazing Oregon Homegrown beers—and taste the Oregon! All the info, including breweries and beers: celebrateoregonbeer.com/oregon-homeg...

About an hour ago, the beers of Oregon Homegrown started pouring at Roscoe's. And two folks were already getting flights! 💪 If you show up today, you might even get a Celebrate Oregon Beer sticker for your collection. The beers keep pouring Sat and Sun. It’s Stratalicious!

Oregon Homegrown is a new beer collaboration project put together by @oregonbeer.bsky.social. Two dozen breweries collaborated with nine hop farms, Indie Hops, and Wyeast Laboratories to craft a variety of beers featuring Strata hops. www.thebrewsite.com/oregon-homeg...

My first taste of one of the Oregon Homegrown Collaborations. This is the TPK/Oregon City joint venture known as “Like, Comet, Subscribe.” It’s a vivid, Stratalicious IPA, with a bunch of dankness shot through with shafts of citrus. A very impressive beer that augurs well for the project.

Why everyone’s talking about the Strata hop www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2025/05/why-... @teamdb.bsky.social @beervana.bsky.social

Two dozen breweries, nine hop farms, four taprooms, one hop breeder, and a yeast lab have all joined together for a statewide collaboration called Oregon Homegrown. It’s going to be special!

Beginning next week. Celebrate Oregon Beer will present Oregon Homegrown - Strata Hops with over 20 Oregon breweries brewing beers featuring Oregon grown Strata Hops! brewpublic.com/beer-release... @oregonbeer.bsky.social

Welcome to Oregon Homegrown, a statewide collaboration among 24 breweries, 9 hop farms, one hop breeder, and a groundbreaking yeast lab. For 2025, we’re highlighting Strata hops, which breweries have used in a dazzling range of styles. Helping drinkers spot the “Oregon” in their beer!

Also Oregon reigns supreme in Beer. That’s not open for debate. That’s just a fact. Best beer in the world is on the west coast.

Congrats to all the participants and winners at the Oregon Beer Awards! This annual event is one of the best in the nation, with over a thousand entries from 100 breweries, in thoughtful categories that celebrate skill, harmony, and excellence more than fidelity to a particular style.

January is the slowest month of the year for those breweries we all love. It’s also a month when people take a break from alcohol. But wait, there’s no conflict here! 1️⃣ You don’t have to drink alcohol to enjoy a pub, and breweries are happy to support your Dry January goals.

Warren Wills, The Beer Scribe, has some smart observations in his latest post. “Today you’ll find the same excitement and passion for craft beer festivals at events hosted at breweries… This is happening because breweries don’t wanna give away their margins to a third-party hosting a big fest.”
