The Robert Daly Beer Publication Collection is comprised of publications collected by Robert Daly about beer brewing, as well as guides to different varieties of beer found in the U.S. and worldwide. Included among the publications are several issues of the Oregon Brew Crew newsletter, which Daly edited. Biographical Note:

Robert Daly lives in Portland and is a reitred Journalism and Mass Communications professor. He was a visiting professor at American University Bulgaria in the mid-1990s. Personally, he became interested in beer styles on his first trip to Europe, but his interest never led him to brewing professionally. Though he was never a brewer, Daly traveled extensively and collected both beer knowledge and books. Daly is a longtime member of the Oregon Brew Crew, a home brewing club based in the Portland area.

Founded in 1979, the Oregon Brew Crew is one of the oldest and largest homebrew clubs in the country. This group is passionate about volunteerism, giving back to their community, and educating homebrewers so that they can take the next step and become professional brewers. The Oregon Brew Crew is an unique blend of hobbyists, professional brewers, and craft beer pioneers.
