Welcome to the Sasquatch Brew Fest!

The Northwest Legends Foundation, the new local non-profit organization now managing the Sasquatch Brew Fest, is pleased to announce that the 6th Annual Sasquatch Brew Fest is tapped for Saturday, June 7, 2008.

Located at Broadway Plaza at the corner of Broadway and Willamette in Eugene, Ore. (click for Directions), the Sasquatch Brew Fest started as a tribute to the passing of a friend, active community member, and professional brewer and evolved into one of the premier beer festivals in the Pacific Northwest.

Tickets will be available when the festival gates open at 12 p.m. for $10. Entrance includes a commemorative glass and two taste tickets. Additional taste tickets will be available for purchase throughout the festival grounds.

In partnership with LTD, a bus day pass will be provided to anyone showing a LTD coupon as they board the bus on the way to attend the festival. Thanks to LTD for providing such a valuable service!

Reservations are now being accepted for the Sasquatch Brew Fest Beer Dinner, scheduled this year for Friday, June 6, 2008 at Mallard Hall, 725 W 1st Ave in Eugene.

Formed at the request of the Glen Hay Falconer Foundation, the Northwest Legends Foundation will continue the legacy of Glen Falconer.  Through local management, Northwest Legends will continue the outstanding Sasquatch Brew Fest, striving to ensure through active funding and support the overarching enjoyment of craft beers, educational and community spirit envisioned by all who knew Glen. 

The Northwest Legends Foundation will invoke the spirit of the legendary Sasquatch (Glen’s nickname) and the memory of Glen Falconer, known as one of the most talented and popular brewers in Eugene, by furthering the art of home brewing through the support of the people who brew craft-brewed beer in their home, and by continuing the financial support of the brewing scholarships and the good works of the Glen Hay Falconer Foundation.

As a home-grown organization, the Northwest Legends Foundation will also continue funding area non-profits and organizations in spirit of our friend.

The Glen Hay Falconer Foundation scholarship is for the World Brewing Academy Concise Course in Brewing Technology held at the Siebel Institute in Chicago in October/November 2008. Please link to the Scholarship page for more information.

In addition to the Sasquatch Brew Fest, join us for the second annual Sasquatch BrewAm at McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale, Oregon on Friday, July 25, 2008

Glen began his brewing career as an avid home brewer and dedicated member of the Cascade Brewers Society, a clan of skilled home brewers based in the Eugene/Springfield area. As a professional brewer, Glen continued to support the craft of home brewing by providing access to brewing ingredients, procedures and unique beer recipes.

Glen assisted many professional brewers that relocated from Eugene to areas throughout the United States, as they began their professional brewing careers by making himself available as a human database of brewing techniques.  The name Glen Falconer is still known throughout the country as a passionate brewer who dedicated his life, knowledge and his friendship to brewers everywhere.
