"It's good beer, and It's good for-you beer," Gomez said. Microbreweries began pour ing suds in 19H5, after an Ore gon luw was changed to allow small-scale production of non pasteurized beers. At the time, microbrews accounted for less than 1 percent of beer sales in Oregon. In 1991, 6 percent of all beer consumed In Oregon was pro duced by microbreweries. And with so many kegs rolling out the doors, there may be more macro than micro to those breweries.

Microbreweries get tax breaks and do not have to pasleuri/.e their beer. Although it increases a beer's shelf-life, pasteurizing can dull flavor. Some microbroweries do pasteurize their beer, but McMenamins and Steelhead do not. Mackie said because the beer is neither pasteurized or fil tered, it requires tender loving care. "We have to maintain very high quality standards," Mack ie said. "That's why we don't sell our beer outside of our brewpubs. It’s more of a perish able product without pasteuriz ing and filtering." Most McMenamins boers can remain in storago no more than three months. But the beer is usually consumed long before that deadline.
