Today’s beer consumer has more options than ever, and when faced with hundreds of different beers, how do you choose what to drink? Join beer writer and aficionado, Jon Abernathy, for a presentation on beer styles, and a special BYOB virtual tasting. 21+.

If you want to sip along, purchase a total of 4 beers, one of each of the four beer styles in this list put together by Jon Abernathy:

BEER LIST:
Hazy IPA (also called New England IPA, and can include Milkshake IPA)
1. Sunriver Brewing makes excellent hazy IPAs, though I don't know what specifically is on the shelves right now; anything labeled as such is a great choice
2. Boss Rambler Beer Club brews a number of hazies very much to the new style; the Sea Dodge IPA can be ordered from their website, and others are on tap at their taproom
3. Deschutes Brewery's Fresh Haze Hazy IPA is approachable and a good choice too.
4. Any other Hazy IPA in this category would be fine, depending on what's available.

Sour beers -particularly the "kettle sour" style that is soured with lactobacillus
1. Bend Brewing Company's Ching Ching is a great starting beer in this category that includes fruit
2. Wild Ride Brewing has their line of Tarty to the Party sours, also with fruit
3. 10 Barrel's Crush series are all sours and offer some variety
4. Immersion Brewing has a sour called Sexy Girlfriend as well

Pilsner and other craft lagers
1. Crux Pilz from Crux Fermentation Project is a terrific example of these new(er) American craft lagers
2. Worthy Brewing has Sol Power Pilsner which is another nice one
3. Three Creeks Brewing Tres Arroyos Mexican Lager
4. Cascade Lakes Brewing High Desert Lotus Pils

Porter - going back to a classic style
1. Deschutes' Black Butte Porter is a style benchmark and definitely a great choice
2. Three Creeks' FivePine Chocolate Porter is excellent as well
3. Wild Ride's Nut Crusher Peanut Butter Porter is fun for a flavorful twist
4. Any other porter or even another dark style like stout is fine and I can answer questions about.Jon Abernathy wrote "Bend Beer: A History of Brewing in Central Oregon", and has been blogging about craft beer since 2004 when he launched “The Brew Site,” a blog dedicated to all things beer and brewing that has documented the change and rapid growth of the local brewing scene. Jon’s been drinking and homebrewing beer for far longer, judges homebrew competitions, and served as the president of the local Central Oregon Homebrewers Organization for three years.

Learn how scientists use comparative anatomy to reconstruct Earth’s vanished worlds so that we can help Baby Yoda find its own home planet!

Even in these divided times, we can all agree on one thing: we love Baby Yoda! But what is this child we adore and where did it come from? Similar questions about extinct lifeforms plague real-world scientists, who use the method of comparative anatomy to find their answers. Learn how scientists use comparative anatomy to reconstruct Earth’s vanished worlds so that we can help Baby Yoda find its own home planet!

Leonard Finkelman is an assistant professor of Philosophy at Linfield College. He received his PhD in Philosophy from the City University of New York Graduate Center in 2013. Since then he has come to specialize in the emerging field of Philosophy of Paleontology, working on conceptual issues in extinction and the metaphysical background of dinosaur research. He is currently working towards a Master of Science degree in Vertebrate Paleontology at the University of Oregon.

In addition to this research, Leonard has written a number of outreach essays on a variety of topics including ethics, possible-world semantics, and human nature. He will also occasionally indulge interests in astronomy, prehistoric art, science fiction, and graphic novels.

Leonard's favorite dinosaur is Tyrannosaurus rex. He acknowledges that this is an uninteresting choice. Please pretend that he said Yutyrannus huali instead.

Leonard's work has been profiled in "Wired Science" and "The Oregonian."

Learn what four years of beekeeping has taught Oregon Master Beekeeper and president of the Portland Urban Beekeepers club, Cheryl Wright. She'll discuss some of the unexpected aspects of beekeeping including diseases, swarming, and what goes into a beekeeping season.

Cheryl Wright has been a beekeeper for "only" four years. She is currently the president of the Portland Urban Beekeepers bee club, and is currently approaching her 2nd year at the Master level of the Oregon Master Beekeeping program. She started her beekeeping adventures by reading Dewey Caron’s book, Honey Bee Biology and Beekeeping (2013) twice over, and attending monthly Portland Urban Beekeeping meetings. The more she learned about beekeeping the less sure she was that this was a viable hobby. To learn more, she signed up for the Oregon Master Beekeeping (OMB) Program. After a year of serious exploration and study, she purchased her equipment and three small 5-frame beehives, called "nucs". Additionally, she was awarded a box of bees through a PUB scholarship for the OMB program. She has made progress, and maintains between two to six hives on her back deck.

In real life, to support her bee obsession, she works as a nurse practitioner for United Health Group performing in-home health risk assessments for Medicare recipients. *oo*
