North Coast tour Add Zwickelmania I saw a poster for a similar “off-flavor” event at Reach Break Brewing in Astoria, while on a three-day visit to the north coast that included stops at Reach Break, Fort George, and Seaside Brewing. All three serve fine beer, but grant me a small brag on my brother, Joel, who started his Corvallis Brewing Supply business 23 years ago and has mentored dozens of success- ful Oregon breweries, includ- ing the guys at Reach Break, who currently have on tap “McRea’s,” Joel’s delicious oys- ter stout, made for the Astoria “Festival of the Dark Arts” last month. Of course we tasted the McRea’s, and brought home a crowler full. Gorge breweries hosted spe- cial tastings, tours and food pairings for Oregon Brewers Guild’s annual Zwickelmania tour on Feb. 22.
