I want to go back to the Midwest now. I want to drink the stuff I can't get here.

Start Trading. I ship and recieve packages from the west coast all the time. I ship out a lot of Founders, Bells, Shorts, Dark Horse, Arcadia, etc....
Actually Portland probably has the most stuck up defenders of any city. Most of the breweries there are meh. About 99% of the Oregon beer that anybody outside of Portland likes is not from Portland. I would send someone to the Oregon Coast first and if they want an urban setting I would send them to San Francisco first.
I lived in Portland for years, believe me, I know what it is about. I just haven't intertwined my self esteem with other peoples' impressions of the city.
I might suggest Fort Collins. You can hit up New Belgium, Odells, Avery (Boulder), Left Hand (Longmont), and Oskar Blues (Lyons) all in 3 days easy. There is also a Budweiser brewery for your BMC friend to tour. Lots of green this time of year and it is still pretty cool.
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.
ha...now that is quite laughable. I couldn't disagree more. Sounds like you surrounded yourself with a bunch of @ssholes while you were here.
Just Falling Rock on its own is probably better than Portland.

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: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
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).
I've been to all those places... can you believe it!?! Well, not Michigan...You talking about San Diego, SF and North Bay and implying that Portland is more smug than those places? That's really hard to believe...I think something happened to you here.
Portland is far superior IN MY OPINION when it comes to the combination of beer culture, lanscsape and outdoor activities.
Remilard: What happened to you in Portland? A vixen break your heart? Or a dude? Don't hate the player, sissy...hate the game
Where in those cities have you been? Let's see how qualified your opinion is.
Starting very soon. Let's just hope all of our players are out of jail for the season.That was hard to resist when I saw your location...
To another great football Pac-10 football season!
