I really wish I could go to this (but maybe YOU can!):

Brewer’s Memorial Ale Fest ~ [Newport, OR] Date: May 15, 16, and 17, 2009 | Admission Cost: $10
Times: Fri 4 PM – 10 PM ~ Sat 12 PM – 10 PM ~ Sun 12 PM – 4 PM

The 3rd Annual Brewers Memorial Ale Fest will be held May 15-17 in Newport and will benefit the Central Coast Humane Society and Oregon Coast Therapy Animals. Last year 3,200 people and 471 of their best friends attended the festival. The festival was created in memory of Rogue Brewmaster John Maier’s faithful companion Brewer, who passed away on May 20, 2006. Brewer grew up in the brewery and eventually rose to the rank of CEO of Rogue Ales.

The dog-friendly brew festival is held inside the Rogue Ales Brewery and includes 30+ Microbreweries, Live Music, Doggy Musical Chairs, Dog Wash, Dog Dancing and Celebrity dog look-alikes (Rin-Tin-Tin, Lassie, Benjy and of course, Brewer).

$10 admission fee gets you a Festival Mug and 3 taster tickets.
