eugene craft beer

When one thinks of Oregon beer, Eugene is usually not the first place they think of. I'll be honest with you, I was a little hesitant when I moved to Eugene. I didn't know much about the craft beer scene in Eugene and I was worried about not having close access to local breweries. I knew that Portland was two hours away and Bend was an hour and a half away. I also knew that I wouldn't be able to get out there as much as I wanted to because of school. To my surprise, there are actually a lot of breweries in Eugene. In fact, there are so many, I began a brewery group with some of my law school friends and every Friday we would try a new brewery. After the semester, we still hadn't gone through all of the breweries and cider houses! I'm excited to head back to school and continue exploring the Eugene craft beer scene next semester.
