The beer festival, held Friday through Sun- day at the Columbia River Maritime Museum’s Barbey Center, showcased about 40 Northwest beers and ciders. Double Mountain, a Hood River-based brewery, won the “Thar She Blows” con- test; their Cluster**** IPA was the fi rst keg to empty out. “(I) suspect it blew fi rst because of the name!” Taylor said in a message. “Although it was also delicious.” The People’s Choice Award went to the Gin- ger Spiced Kolsch brewed by fi rst-time winner Mill City Brew Werks, of Camas, Washington.

He played all four years in high school and received a number of hon- ors for his play on both the defensive and offensive lines.

Now Queener, 22, is back on the fi eld for Naselle, this time as the new assistant coach for the middle school N team and as a volunteer assis- tant with the high school squad. “I did wear my Comet jer- sey under my gown at EWU.
