Fun was had by all!

The annual OSHBOTY party will be at Belmont Station in Portland on Saturday, January 11th at 2pm.
It will be a most somber and reverent ceremony so expect NO whacky things going on like tomfoolery, back-slapping, beer tasting, celebrating, homebrewing-nerdery-about-recipes, nor high-jinx whatsoever.
Join us in presenting Ian Campbell with his well deserved 2024 OSHBOTY Grand Championship belt!
All are welcome!
