This weekend: The Deschutes Brewery Sagebrush Classic Golf Tournament & Feast

We're so excited that the 21st Annual Deschutes Brewery Sagebrush Classic is almost here! The Sagebrush Classic is the Pacific Northwest's premier golf, culinary, libatious and social event and it just keeps getting better every year. On Friday, an amateur golf tournament pits 52 teams against each other in fierce but friendly competition for prizes, bragging rights, and a possible mention in the next day's Oregonian. Then on Saturday, 1,000 guests will gather in the meadow at Broken Top for food from some of the world's top chefs and beer from one of the nation's top microbreweries. This year, four-star Spanish chef José Andrés will prepare a dish teasingly titled "Not your everyday Caprese salad" to pair with Deschutes Brewery's Green Lakes Organic Ale, an amber ale with a mellow malt profile intertwined with subtly surprising hop flavors, brewed with five types of 100% organic malted barley and balanced with Liberty and Salmon-Safe Sterling hops. (IBUs: 45, ABV: 5.2%) Chef Andrés was recently lauded by Frank Bruni, the head critic at the New York Times, who called his food "extraordinary" and "mesmerizing." Chef Andrés will be cooking live and meeting guests this Saturday at the Sagebrush Classic Feast, starting at 5 p.m. in Broken Top Meadow. Find out more at http://sagebrush.org/feast/. There is still time to buy tickets for this fantastic, unique event, so head over to http://www.sagebrush.org/tickets/ and register a team for the golf tournament or buy tickets or a table for the Feast.
