Head out to the Beer Fest at Big Al's in either Beaverton or Vancouver

VANCOUVER, Wash. and BEAVERTON, Ore. -— Beer and fun will be flowing soon as Big Al’s officially announces it will host Black Friday Beer Fest at both their Vancouver and Beaverton locations from noon to 7 p.m. Nov. 25 and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 26.

The lively festival in 2010 featured Big Al’s Vancouver exclusively and was just a single day event. Due to overwhelming positive response from guests and community partners involved, Big Al’s has decided to expand the festival into a two day event at both their entertainment facilities.

Black Friday Beer Fest offers Portlanders a first taste of the new winter seasonal beers in a festival setting, while serving Vancouver as it’s one & only winter beer festival.  There will be an array of the most popular winter seasonals such as Sierra Nevada Celebration, Ninkasi Sleigher, and Alaskan Smoked Porter. As well as some hard to find local favorites carrying much more of a passionate ‘cult’ following such as Deschutes Abyss and Widmer Brrrbon.

County reduces fees for food safety inspections at restaurants

County reduces fees for food safety inspections at restaurants

VANCOUVER, Wash. -– A new fee schedule for Clark Public Health took effect last week based on recent action by the Board of Health.

Many fees have been reduced, including those charged to inspect restaurants operating from fixed locations. The changes reflect the board’s decision to increase public funding for services that benefit everyone.

However, some fees have been increased, in keeping with an ongoing effort to track and recover costs for services that benefit specific organizations or individuals.

In all, the new fees are designed to decrease expenses for some businesses and consumers, while continuing to use a fee-for-service approach to the extent it is fair and appropriate.

“We have been working to refine our fees for several years in response to statewide challenges in public health, the downturn in the economy and the preferences of local policymakers,” said Marni Storey, deputy director of Public Health. “This year’s analysis, discussion and board approval is a critical part of our plan to operate through 2012.”

Public health fees help prevent the spread of disease through food, drinking water and water recreation facilities.
