Cool, thanks for the advice! I'll PM you when I get the plans finalized for sure.

I did get your PM, and replied, and cleaned my inbox. No, I will be there probably on the 20th of this month.

I ride an old honda 450. It gets the job done, and I honestly even the most grizzled Harley guys, think I am a hero for doing week long tours on it. haha. Cool, in some googling, the Ale House pub was one of the very places that popped up, that looked interesting, and was very close to a...

Hey everyone, I'll be doing a motorcycle tour this month, and am passing through and staying the night in Redding on one of the legs. I'm looking for some good places to put down some pints of good beer, and spend the the evening. Any recommendations would be great. Also, since I'm on a...

I used to love The Horse Brass, and honestly, yes it is still a great place to get a beer, especially if you are from out of town. As a local, I don't go their often anymore because it is always so busy. I like a place with people in it, and a good vibe as much as the next guy, but I don't...

Its a long list. ;-) Alameda Amnesia Hop Works Green Dragon McMen's -- Edgefield or K school. (I will admit, I live within walking distance of Edgefield, so I spend a good amount of time there) Laurelwood (The garlic fries are freakin' amazing) That is just scratching the surface. I couple...

I hope you enjoyed it. If you were staying by the convention center, did you make it Amnesia? I really enjoy their beers. Alameda is another one of my favorites. Us local folks always like to hear a run down of where you actually went to, and what you thought of it.

I have already e-mailed my legislators, and will be sending hand addressed letters this week. There is a lot more than a little disobedience. The paradise comment is a double edged sword. Oregon is in some ways a great place for it, the sheer number of breweries and home-brewers attest to...

Its a big mess for Oregon. I just hope that the legislators sort it all next time they are in session. I also hope that both the beer and wine industries based in Oregon really push hard on this issue. This whole thing is giving the OLCC a huge black eye. Maybe it will be the straw that...

One thing to add, call and talk to the guys at kegconnection, when I purchased my kit, due to the boxes needed, getting 4 kegs from them vs 3 kegs, you probably won't pay extra shipping for the 4th. They were very helpful on letting me know how they would be boxing stuff up, so I could minimize...

Depending on when in July you are coming, the Oregon Brewers Fest is happening July 22-25. It is right on the waterfront in downtown, so if you end up here during that time frame, I would taking at least a day for that. http://www.oregonbrewfest.com/

I just got this today. I can confirm that you will need a collar to fit 4, it is about 3/4" too small of the floor for 4 of them. I was sort of hoping 4 would fit when I got mine, as it is now, judging my the height of it, i was going to add a collar anyway, but now I think I will be adding an...

Not to take anything away from San D (I love the city), but 31 doesn't pass up the 34 in Portland. Unless they changed the way they count, or a couple of breweries in Portland closed that I wasn't aware of. Also, to the original poster. If you are coming to Portland, some other things to not...

Just remeber keep everything sanatized from the time you shut the boil off, until it is bottled. Once the boil is done, non-yeasty bad stuff can grow. RDWHAHB. Even if this one doesn't turn out, don't give up, with some work on your process, and making sure you keep everything santized, you...
