From Here to Forever: Celebrating 40 Years of Oregon's Brewpub Law

Today when you go to a pub in Oregon, you'll find a long list of locally brewed craft beers. That wasn't always the case. In 1985 a handful of brewing pioneers, including Mike and Brian McMenamin, changed the future of beer in Oregon forever. Host Shannon McMenamin and her cousin Conners take a look back at the role their dads played in passing the Brewpub Bill; we hear from some of the original pioneers, talk to brewers today, and muse about how pub culture has changed.   Check out the transcript & photos here on the BLOG Produced by McMenamins and Gretchen Kilby Host: Shannon McMenamin Sound design and audio editing: Gretchen Kilby Writing: Michelle "Jake Robbins Editing: Michelle "Jake" Robbins, Gretchen Kilby, and Kat Nyberg McMenamins archival audio and photos: Kat Nyberg Additional archival photos courtesy of John Foyston McMenamins production team: Michelle "Jake" Robbins, Kat Nyberg, and Renee Rank Ignacio Art: Lillian Ripley   Get in touch with The Red Shed Tapes: [email protected] Website: www.mcmenamins.com/podcast
