From the Oregon Brewers' Guild:

DESCHUTES BREWERY CRAFTS A NEW TAKE ON THE PUB CRAWL

What:
With much to celebrate -including the April, 2008 opening of the Portland pub and The Abyss being named the world’s best stout in the new issue of Men’s Journal- Deschutes Brewery is rolling out the barrel and introducing a new traveling pub to share their signature pub culture with the rest of the Pacific Northwest. The custom-made truck-sized wooden barrel was created by renowned Hollywood designer Eddie Paul and will be stopping in Portland before heading north to Seattle as part of its new Neighborhood Hops Traveling Beer Festival.

When:
Tuesday, September 18th, 6:00 p.m.

Where:
The future home of the Portland Deschutes Brew Pub. The corner of Davis and 11th, Portland

Dave Wilson, Director of Sales And Marketing for Deschutes Brewery will be on hand to discuss the barrel concept and fundraising initiatives. The new signature wooden barrel will be parking at the future home of the Portland Deschutes Brew Pub where it will be christened with a bottle of beer before making its maiden journey to Seattle.
Deschutes Brewery t-shirts, leather coasters and other giveaways will be handed out to attendees.

Here is a computer generated image (shown above), and here's an actual photo of barrel in construction.

I guess I have a reason to venture into the Pearl District tonight. I'm sure the real thing will be a lot sweeter than the artists' rendering, so if I make it down I'll try and snap a couple photos.
