Brew alliance’s ‘Holiday Hangover’ festival packs The Ruins
By KIRBY NEUMANN-REA

The space inside and the
weather outside shone on the
Holiday Hangover beer festival
Saturday.
Organizers and attendees
agreed that the new venue was
a success for the Breweries in the
Gorge fourth annual event.
The 11 BIG members kegged
up interesting brews ranging
from a rare steam-style ale
to a Belgian dubbel to a sour
made with carrotseed to an or-
ange-chocolate stout.
Things got a bit crowded in-
side The Ruins at Wildwood
Academy, so the general elbow
(bending) room outside was
clearly welcome. On an unsea-
sonably balmy afternoon and
evening, the fire pits were as
much about creating gathering
places as keeping warm.
“Attendance is up and the
shuttles have been full,” said mar-
keting manager Nicole Barnard.
MountNbarreL of Hood River ran
its van from Lot 1 to the venue.
“The beautiful part about this
is it showcases what I would con-
sider some of the greatest beers
produced in our region,” said
Steve White of Freebridge Brew-
ery in The Dalles. “The diversity
of the styles of breweries we have
I think is really unmatched,” he
said. “We live in such a great
environment. It’s a good place to
drink beer.”
Justin Leigh of Dwinnell Ales
in Goldendale said, “It’s the one
time of year we all get together
and showcase our beers with
each other. It’s nice for us to
come together like this and work
together and put on a great event
for everyone.”
Food trucks outside the Wild-
wood entrance did a brisk busi-
ness in sandwiches, pizza and
other fare.
“Moving it from the Elks Lodge
to Ruins has added a great dy-
namic,” White said.
The bands The Nightfarmers,
Green Neck Daredevils and Hill-
stomp kept the tunes rolling from
start to finish.
