How much is your group looking at doing outside of the brewery visits? This time of year I would hit up San Diego. Great beer and lots of pretty things to look at on the beach.

If you want to do back 2 back brew pub tours go to Portland and take the brew bus for a ride.

Isn't there also a Fort Collins Brewery

That's an easy thing to do.

Srsly, you guys are way more annoying than the San Diego people (note that the San Francisco people who actually live in the best beer city are least annoying).

It goes like this.

San Diego Guy: Hey we have the best beer.
Neutral Observer: Really?
San Diego Guy: Yeah, Stone, Ballast Point, Alesmith, Lost Abbey
Neutral Observer: Okay

Portland Guy: Hey this is beervana
Neutral Observer: Really?
Portland Guy: Yeah we have Hopworks and Roots and Alameda...
Neutral Observer: Never heard of them
Portland Guy: Well have you heard of Widmer and Bridgeport
Neutral Observer: Yeah, they kinda suck
Portland Guy: Well what about Rogue
Neutral Observer: Aren't they in Newport?
Portland Guy: But they have brewed like 4 gallons of beer at Green Dragon!
Neutral Observer: Wow, that's something.
Portland Guy: But we won an internet poll with no restrictions on multiple votes from the same IP address!
Neutral Observer: Yeah but Ashville won that this year which kinda proves how stupid it is
Portland Guy: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

+1 for Colorado. I've been to a bunch of breweries from Denver to far West by Glenwood Canyon. Avery is amazing. They have 20+ brews on tap always. They have everything from the Maharaja on tap to their Mephistopheles. The people are nice, I talked to them about homebrewing for a while and they actually listened and gave some advice! Haha. You can get 5 oz samples for like a $1 a piece too. You'll walk outta there hammered, I did..

Just Falling Rock on its own is probably better than Portland.

That's why I think they should go to Wisconsin. New Glarus could take down Portland.

That is one broad brush you are painting with there...

You sound like a total prick; go away would you?

remilard · 07-15-2010, 03:32 PM

Yeah, and you weren't speaking in broad strokes when you said Portland's beer and scenery blow the rest of the country away.

Tell us, where have you been in San Diego, San Francisco, North Bay, Wisconsin and Michigan? I have a feeling that you don't have the experience to compare Portland beer to anything (which is true of most of the Portland beer fanboys, if you get out it doesn't seem that special anymore).
