The fifth annual Sasquatch Brew Fest took place Saturday, June 2, 2007. The non-profit beer festival benefit was created to further the craft brewing industry in memory of Glen Hay Falconer and was held in downtown Eugene, Oregon outdoors at the Broadway Plaza, also known as Kesey Plaza.

21st Amendment serving their Watermelon Wheat in cans. UPS lost their keg, but O’Sullivan had brought a case of their cans. They put up a sign at 4:30 saying that at 5:00 p.m. saying they would start serving both canned beer, the Watermelon Wheat and IPA. Apparently a line quickly formed out into the crowd and they ran out of the Watermelon Wheat in 15 minutes and all the beer was gone in 30.
