Issue: October 09, 2014
Good morning, readers!
And Happy Beer Week!
Yep, you read that right. This week's CN&R is our second annual Beer Issue,
and it coincides with a celebration of all things craft-beer-related that
starts today and goes through Oct. 18. Our feature package this week is
focused on beer, as are several other stories, from a piece on wild hops in
Greenways to an interview with Feather River Brewing's Roger Preecs in 15
Minutes. Also, check out www.chicobeerweek.net for a full schedule of
events. Hope to see you all out and about!
In other news: We take a look at the investigation into a police shooting
in Oroville in April; we check in with folks trying to implement a police
beat downtown to eliminate problems with transients; and Arts Devo says
goodbye to Chico arts maven Maria Phillips.
Until next week,
Meredith J. Graham, associate editor
