walk a block down the street from HotD to Boke Bowl and get a 3pk of their fried chicken steam buns with orange dot sauce. the chicken is great but that sauce is pure crack.

Aftwr a Matt, Cheryl Adam, Bourbon Fred I'll fight anybody and take their ******* chicken

Any locals interested in these? Im moving and these are not coming along. Excellent shape, I didn’t use them much.

 

[Crusian]

You definitely can, I did it last week. The side bar at pFriem was closed so I bought a six pack of Pilsner with my family and drank it in the park right outside. They fill crowlers and growlers too. You have to leave the establishment before you open it, though.

^ Breakside on Dekum has good food. Hat Yai and Podnah's aren't too far from there either.

EDIT: I a page

I've already flown out, or I'd join you. It was a short trip with most of our time in Lincoln City.

Wish I could have met with you or some other PDX locals, but judging from my last post in this thread, I would not have made a good first impression.

Sweet town, looking forward to my next trip.

Not too excited about this year's 3 Way, and frankly, a little disappointed based on the breweries involved. It's not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm probably not buying as much of this as I usually do.

The one caveat is that I'm drinking it on tap. Interested to see if there's any difference with ty he cans.

Does it taste green? Thought the beta batches were pretty solid

No, not to me. It just doesn't really taste that differently from most of the higher end hazies. Like I said, it's not bad at all, but also not mind blowing.

Edit: I felt pretty much the same about the betas. Liked them, but didn't think they were amazing or anything.

 

[FoudreGuy]

I've only had the beta batches so far, but they tasted a lot like your standard Cloudburst IPA.

I very much have enjoyed the cans. Feel its pretty o.g.

 

[Crusian]

Yeah, I hear what he's saying... but for the most part, a 4 pack of a hazy is now pushing $20. ******* insane.
3way is, what, $14? Yeah, I'm all over it all summer. Even better with the dry hop variants. Way to still somehow separate yourselves.

Good point on the cost. Need to keep that in perspective

I've had the new 3-Way on draft & in a can now. I like it. It's not the best one (bring back 2014, plz), but I'll drink my share this summer. I also don't consider it a hazy. It's cloudy, but it's not OJ/chicken stock/gravy. And, at least IMO, the body/mouthfeel is nothing like a hazy (no chalkiness or hop burn). Yes, the flavor is kinda juicy, but there's a good lingering hop bite in the finish.

Agree about this distinction, was just talking about this with someone yesterday. Also, price is key.

20X(X-1) is my favorite Mega Man.

That sounds exactly like a Cloudburst IPA which was my takeaway from some beta batches at Latona Pub.

Stopped at Chuck’s today for some new Mirage cans and just missed out on draft 3-Way. The keg blew right before I got there. Cans hitting Seattle next week.

 

[BBA1]

So far I like this years 3-Way. It's way better than last years. That one just never tasted right. Although I still prefer the Fields of Green and Crysknife over 3-Way.

That's awful

I am finally making it to Portland. I can't wait.

Thank you for all the info in this thread. I hope I get the chance to meet some of you fine people.

The place that shall not be named will be open 4:30-9 Tues-Friday and 2-9 Sat & Sun starting next week.

RIP Tin Bucket. Last day is tomorrow.

As I predicted. Tin Bucket used to be one of the most reasonably priced places in Portland, but lately became one of the most expensive. Hopefully the new business model will bring in more customers. Not something I'm interested in though.

Another bachelor party request... where would be a decent place for dinner that could accommodate 10? Good taplist would be a bonus, but not required. We’ll be brewery and bar hopping all day so focus would be on the food at that point and getting everyone together.

Also planning a day trip to the coast/Tillamook. We want to grill steaks at our airbnb one night, is there anywhere out that way that we should be buying steaks from? Or just buy somewhere in Portland? Thanks!

10 is getting up there, but Andina, Nostrana, Nel Centro, Irving Street Kitchen, Jake's, and Ringside will all accommodate larger groups. Maybe not 10, but it couldn't hurt to ask Higgins (one of the OG farm to table beer spots) or maybe Departure. I know Deschutes and/or Von Ebert in the Pearl can definitely handle those numbers, but obviously call ahead.

For steaks, stop here on your way out to Tillamook: https://meatingplacepdx.com

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I haven’t been to Portland in a few years so looking forward to checking out some of the new places. Reading the last few pages has me pumped.

Any tips on beaches/coastal towns to hit up? Preferably within 2 hour drive from Portland, and not too far from Tillamook. Heard good things about the Pacific City Pelican brewpub, but is there much else to do around there? Cannon worth the drive? Ideally would like to do some beach chilling, kayaking or maybe sime hiking. Plan is to drive out to the coast somewhere early, then drive back to PDX through Tillamook sometime in the 3-7pm window De Garde is open. I think I went to Cape Lookout last time, but wasn’t much going on-other than being ridiculously pretty.
