Portland thread

I’m biased for obvious reasons, but can we talk about what is quite possibly the best tap takeover I’ve ever seen for one of the best breweries in our fine state?

Gin BA saison? ****. Looks like I'm going to LL this weekend.

Whats absurd is I think I've had almost the whole list. I would like to try the Druif though.

I found 8 I haven’t tried (I ski a lot and stop by there weekly in the winter). LL’s taster trays hold 8 beers when full. Oh yes.

"Award winning"

**** me, if this is true then there is a craft bubble.

They won the Silverton Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year award in 2014. So, technically, they are award winning.

I hiiiighly doubt that, especially with the anniversary this weekend.

Only packaged beer he's not had. Better?

Also, they had something from a the wood aged in tequila barrels on yesterday and j was shocked at how good it was.

Thanks libbey!!!!

Anyone interested in a De Garde trip on Saturday? Based on the current weather forecasts I'm thinking my best chance on Hood is going to be Thursday night into Friday, with a massive dump of snow scheduled Friday night. So I'm guessing Saturday is going to be a beer day, not a climbing one. I'll have a rental car so I could drive a few folks out there if that's of interest. This is very tentative at the moment, subject to change for a bunch of reasons, but figured I'd throw the idea out there.

Holiday Ale Fest starts tomorrow, 11am...

Anyone heading out to.degarde tomorrow?

I think I'm going to go today (Friday), assuming that's what you meant by "tomorrow". Nixed the Hood climb when I got up to Timberline last night and it was swirling snow, high winds, and zero visibility. Didn't seem like it was worth the risk for a climb I've done before. Saturday I've got plans to meet up with a friend from school, so today works best for a De Garde visit. Thinking I'll leave Portland around 1:30. Did you (or anyone else) need a ride?

 

[JulianB1]

I'm going to hit Great Notion around opening (noon) and then leave from there for De Garde, barring a change of plans. If anyone wants to touch tips there and/or head to Tillamook, come on by.

Good on the ride thanks for the offer.

Have fun with that Friday traffic coming back to Portland!

Awesome meeting JulianB today! Good times

 

[ggfunk]

Gotta love those Wile Ales

 

[teddyarrowhead]

Ha - I should check this thread more often. I was out there and on the tour with all of you guys. Managed to get up to Meadows for opening day and then out to de Garde. Quality Oregon day. Good times. I was volunteering at HAF on Thursday pouring in the lounge, went yesterday for a couple hours, and am now just about to head back for the brunch and to clean up whatever is left over.

Anyone else see that Great Notion is planning on charging $100 for two 500 ml bottles of BA Double Stack in a wooden box with a glass and a bottle opener?

Iowa is coming to Oregon. Damn.

Least surprising development ever.

Yeah. Those pics appear to be from an Instagram story that is no longer available, and I can't find any confirmation of the price point but it doesn't shock me if true.

They actually released info on it instead of the 53 tease posts? ISO actual info.

I don't think they've released actual info but I've seen a couple people online throw around the $100 price tag. I can't imagine it being below that.

PDX is definitely the best airport in the country. Besides being almost impossibly clean and the security line taking no time at all, there's great beer and food selection inside, and in particular there's some nice takeaway options once you're already past security at the Made In Oregon store. I grabbed a couple of pFriem ba stout bottles to carry on for home.

Sweet! I would gladly pay $100 for that.

I'm hearing $125 now because of a nonelective t-shirt. Just what we need for winter.

Not digging that if that's true.
