Prescribed Pile Burning Starts On Mt. Hood Forest

Posted on by mbailey

Prescribed pile burning is underway across the Mt. Hood National Forest as cooler temperatures and recent precipitation create favorable conditions for fire operations.  Forest officials say crews will burn piles of leftover branches, logs and other woody debris intermittently through the fall and winter, as weather conditions allow.  Burning locations include areas near The Dalles Watershed along Forest Road 44, Sportsmans Park and Rock Creek, as well as portions of the Grasshopper and Austin fire footprints.  Additional sites include several areas in Clackamas County and near the Wapinitia community along Highway 26.  Crews have already burned piles over the past week near Tilly Jane Campground, Clear Lake Lookout and Olallie Lake.  Officials say smoke may be visible during and shortly after burning, but significant impacts to air quality are not expected.  The Mt. Hood National Forest says crews will generally prioritize higher-elevation areas before snow accumulates.

Full Sail Sold

Posted on by mbailey

A familiar name in the Hood River community is under new ownership.

The Portland Business Journal reports Full Sail Brewing Company, a longtime Hood River brewery and one of Oregon’s craft beer pioneers, has been acquired by Sazerac, a national beverage company based in Louisville, Kentucky.

Full Sail opened in 1987 and helped establish Oregon’s craft brewing industry. The company operates its brewery, along with a pub and restaurant in downtown Hood River.

Its best-known beers include Full Sail Amber and its popular Session series.

Sazerac owns dozens of beverage brands, including Buffalo Trace and Pappy Van Winkle bourbons.

The companies have not yet announced what the acquisition means for Full Sail’s Hood River operations.

However, social media posts by Full Sail employees indicate that the pub has been closed, and the facility will become a fully contract production facility.
