#FollowFriday: Breweries using Twitter
by Kent Lewis on August 28, 2009TwitterWelcome to our next installment of Anvils’ take on Follow Friday! Last week, Hallie got the vino taste buds all riled up and provided some amazing wineries to follow on Twitter to keep up with how this years vintage is progressing. However, this week we are looking for hops, barley, and wheat!
In case you were unaware, there are 30 breweries within the Portland city limits (more than any city in the World) and 38 in the Metro area (more than any metro area in the World). Oregon is also in the top 4 states of breweries per capita. So not only does Portland (and Oregon in general) brew a LOT of craft beer, we drink local too – almost 42% of all draft beer consumed in Oregon is made in Oregon.
Now, with all of this frothy opportunity, it is tough to keep up with the going ons around town – who is brewing a new IPA to be released soon, who has a Seasonal Oktoberfest brew? We have compiled a list of breweries, both local and from across the nation to keep tabs on via Twitter!
