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.

Residential Open Burning In MCFR District Allowed Beginning Wednesday

Posted on by mbailey

Residential open burning within the Mid-Columbia Fire & Rescue District will be allowed beginning Wednesday with a valid burn permit.  MCFR officials say while we have received some rain, don’t let the recent moisture create a false sense of security.  Fuels protected from rainfall, especially beneath trees and other covered areas, can remain dry and readily available to burn.  A debris fire can still escape and spread into surrounding vegetation.  Before you burn, remember that a burn permit is required anywhere within the MCFR District.  If you live within an Oregon Department of Forestry protected area, you must also follow ODF requirements and restrictions.  If you live within the City of The Dalles, you must comply with City rules, and burn barrels are not permitted within the City.  Check conditions before lighting your burn, have adequate water and tools available, and never leave a fire unattended.  Burn permits and additional information are available at mcfr.org.

Wildfire Risk Reduction On Section Of Indian Creek

Posted on by mbailey

A wildfire risk reduction project on a section of Indian Creek between 7th and 8th Streets in Hood River will start next week.  Hood River County Wildfire Mitigation Coordinator Elly Wells says it is a small project, but there are six homes within it.  She says the Ant Farm Youth Corps Community Wildfire Defense Program out of Clackamas County will be doing the work on this effort, removing brush to reduce fuel continuity and invasive blackberry and ivy.  In March a project near 8th Street along Indian Creek Trail took place, and this project is moving eastward from its end point.  Removing invasive species will allow native plants to re-sprout and grow in that location, and make it easier to maintain in the future.
