Beermongers has a ridiculous taplist currently, stocked with Ruse and Upright for their collab release plus Quetsche, BCBS, and an Alvarado St hazefestcicle

RIP Growler Guys

That sucks. Was always a great place to drop in when doing other beer activities in that part of town. I know it's not a rarity in Portland, but they always had great Boneyard and Barley Brown's hops on.

I’m going to miss getting a burrito and going nextdoor to GG. Does Modern Times let you bring in outside non-vegan food?

LOL...I doubt it. I'm sure the ID checker at the door would say no.

Legally they don’t have to, and logically no. Can you bring in outside food to restaurants?

Anyway, might swing by all those places today. Going to bat cleanup for all of these events that happened yesterday. I’m assuming a lot of stuff will still be on at Bailey’s too.

A lot of them are still on and I assume the remainder will be rotated through in the next couple weeks. The 2009 Adam and 2009 Old Foghorn are particularly tasty.

I’m not going to lie, I might like the Chuckanut Oat Lager just as much.

Tin Bucket is a another place I wouldn't be surprised to see close.

I wish I was joking. I can't remember the last time I was there and saw more than 5 people in the place. I stopped by on Saturday and noticed they have reduced the taps to 20 now. Makes sense since many beers are on for a month or more.

I popped into the Bucket recently and the stock is certainly dwindling. however, I ran into their crew at De Garde on Sunday and they were blending BT5, so that's a bonus.

Getting back to Growler Guys. Do you have inside info that they're going out of business? I don't see any mention of it anywhere on social media.

The owner posted on his personal FB page that their lease was up and they decided not to renew.

Made a low-key trip to Portland over the past few days, mostly visited my aunt and her family but was able to grab a few with teddyarrowhead and falc0n2600 at Upper Lip, which was fun. Also checked out Wayfinder - it takes a lot for a newer place to impress me but damn they certainly did.

I've been to Tin Bucket three times and every single time I was the only one there. Great taps but the bottle selection always seems sparse.

Apparently Burnside Brewing abruptly closed. Seems like they hadn't been paying rent. Turned out to be a bad idea.

That means I can't not drink Burnside beer anymore.

Place was full of a bunch of ********. Doesn't shock me at all.

 

[litheum94]

This article has a different spin, saying the building owner terminated the lease because he wants to sell the building, but that doesn't really explain the not making payroll thing and saying they're completely out of business. I would think if it was a landlord thing, they'd say something about trying to find a different place. I'm sure we'll get more info over the next couple of weeks.

I feel bad for the employees, but I never understood how that place stayed in business. I've had some of my worst beers in Portland there.

I thought they were ok, never made great beer, but I could find a decent one usually.

Something changed there about 2 years ago, though. Food prices got jacked up, service went absolutely to hell (I once waited an hour for food when I was one of 6 people in the entire restaurant), and the staff became giant ********. When one of the waitresses ran outside to confront my friend (who has MS and is in a wheel chair) for not tipping her enough (when she received the aforementioned ****** service), that was the last straw for me.

This was linked in that reddit post, and seems to contradict the reporting in that article.

Yeah, I saw that. That's why I though the article was interesting. Definitely trying to put some spin on it to make them not look like ********, it seems.

Not that I know **** about Burnside, but I wouldnt count Newschool as a news source considering that NS likely has a financial stake in Burnside thanks to the Fruit beer fest.
