There is a great post on the Belmont Station blog about the under-construction H.U.B., or Hopworks Urban Brewpub:
"HUB will be a 20-barrel bio-diesel fired brewery," they say, and then go on to detail the project and have a very in-depth interview with brewmaster Christian Ettinger.

Portland a "Green Leader"
Posted by: kmikeym
The Portland Business Journal reports that Fast Company named Portland a "green leader" in its list of "Fast Cities."
The article says "Portland was named a green leader because, with 125 projects and counting, the city has the most structures certified by the U.S. Green Building Council, the magazine reports."
Additionally Fast Company wrote, "Portland became a case study on how to stuff sprawl when it enacted strict limits on urban growth. Today, it's at the forefront of the 'eat local' revolution, in which individuals and restaurants buy directly from area farmers to preserve livelihoods and open space. With 13 farmer's markets, and nearby world-class vineyards, residents not only buy local but they eat and drink well, too."
