(Cannon Beach, Oregon) - A first of its kind on the north Oregon coast, a new festival in Cannon Beach combines the environment with the art world in this former artist colony. On September 16 through 19 the town celebrates that unique mix with the Earth & Ocean Arts Festival.
Here, one of the main events is a live art project that will create the world s largest sea star entirely made up of people. After all, Cannon Beach is a burgh where art and the natural surroundings come together in especially conspicuous ways.
Clatsop Beach Still Closed To Razor Clamming Details
Don t do it.
State game enforcement is warning that people will be fined for digging razor clams on North Oregon Coast beaches. They are keeping a very close eye on Clatsop Beach but the warning covers all beaches from Astoria to Florence. Clatsop Beach is typically the most productive razor clam beach in the state but high levels of toxin make the clams unsafe to eat.
Crab harvesting remains open along the entire Oregon coast. Coastal scallops are not affected by biotoxin closures when only the adductor muscle is eaten. The Oregon Department of Agriculture does not recommend eating whole scallops. Commercial shellfish products remain safe for consumers.
PORTLAND, Ore. Ecliptic Brewing is pairing up with Wayfinder Beer to brew a Cold IPA. Shipping February 17th in 16-ounce cans and draft, this will be Ecliptic’s first Cosmic Collaboration with Wayfinder and the first of 2021.
“Cold IPA” is a newer term, and the style aims to feature a crisper IPA. John Harris, Ecliptic’s Owner and Brewmaster teamed up with Wayfinder’s Brewmaster, Kevin Davey, to create Ecliptic’s take on the style. The beer is brewed with Pilsner malt and lager yeast and features Pacific Sunrise and Talus hops. Says Davey, “Cold IPA is our attempt at making a ‘Wester than West Coast’ IPA’, but it’s not a lager… it’s more of a crossover style”. Adjuncts help lighten the body and increase drinkability. In Davey’s words, the result is a “very clean, dry and extremely hop forward” beer.
