| What is the Umpqua Brew Festival? |
| It’s an autumn celebration of clean water, craft beer, and sustainable living in the hundred valleys
of the Umpqua. In other words, “It’s all about the water.” |
| |
| So, is the UBF Roseburg’s version of Octoberfest? |
| No, it’s is a tasting event, not a drinking one. We insist on quality, not quantity by
craft beer appreciation, not alcohol consumption. ”Drink less, drink the best.” |
| |
| Where is it? |
| Douglas Hall at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Roseburg, OR. |
| |
| What kind of beer will be at the festival? |
| Craft beer from Oregon, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. Whether it’s the breweries’ flagship, seasonal, speciality, or surprise beers, we’ll have a variety of styles for every taste.
|
| |
| Which beers will be on tap? |
| As they come on board, the list of participating breweries is updated on the website. The
finalized beer list is printed in the event program.
|
| |
| What about wine? |
It’s a brew fest, but yes, wine will be available for those who prefer fermented grapes more than
fermented barley.
|
| |
| Besides craft beer tasting, what else will be going on? |
| Festival goers will also enjoy beer-friendly food and live music. Umpqua Watersheds, the event host and other organizations, such as the Umpqua Valley Home Brewers’ Guild and Women Enjoying Beer, will have booths to provide information.

| |
| What happens when you blow a keg? |

beer, to recognize the brewery which donated the keg, and to thank the participants for
supporting Umpqua Watersheds.
