Portland thread

Sassy's in nice and next to Cascade/down the road from HotD, but if we're being honest degenerates here, Casa Diablo is in a whole other league. Took my buddy there for his bachelor party and we all had a blast. Goodbye $600

Had a beer at Mary's today. Got to see the shift change. Quality talent for the most part.

Have fun to all the ticket holders!!!

Hopefully traveling to PDX come June. Annual conference I usually attend is being held at the Portland Hilton this year. So pumped! Looks like I'll have some good options within walking distance too!

Being 6 blocks from Bailey's certainly isn't a bad thing! Easy walk to HotD too.

Fifteen minute walk to Fat Head's also!

Hey, flying in Thursday night and on Friday the wife and I have sort of a free day while friends are at work. We plan to take the light rail in from Beaverton and hit downtown. Looking for suggestions of downtown places to hit and we'll be on foot.

Later in the day we will grab a cab and head over to HotD/Cascade.

Try to hit Commons if you can as well, small place but worth it and about a 5 minute walk from Cascade.

Agreed, don't skip Commons. They had a brett plum sour on that was quite nice. Also their pours are so cheap. Full pour of Urban Farmhouse for 3 dollars. THREE DOLLARS.

I forgot there's a Portland brewpub! I'd love to check it out but it won't be a priority of mine since fat heads is pretty local to me in Ohio.

Welcome to Portland.

Welcome to Portland.

We had a great time. Can't wait for May 2nd (I think)...(really want to).

People always mention Cascade and HotD since they're pretty close, but what do you locals think of Green Dragon (right across the street from Cascade)? I've been there once or twice and it's been fine, but I've heard they have some good events, plus the "secret" tap is a cool idea.

 

[beefandbean22]

I've been to Green Dragon twice and haven't had very good experiences with the service, but I should probably give them another try at one point. That being said, I might have to go there next month for this: http://boneyardbeer.com/beergasm/

 

[kscaldef]

Do the still do the secret tap at Green Dragon? TBH, I feel like all their taps are secret, because they don't post their tap list online and they don't do social media.

Personally, years ago I was a regular at the Green Dragon and had a great rapport with most of the staff. Post-buyout there was a lot of turnover and I felt like the quality of the service went way down. Also, every menu re-do has gotten worse. Also, they manage to have 50 taps that usually don't excite me. So, I don't go in very often any more (usually only if a friend suggests meeting there).

the food is terrible, IMO.

No love for the Buckman Botanical Brewery? While there stuff is REALLY hit or miss, I enjoy the unique offerings they have.

Hey guys, I'm flying in Wednesday night to spend the weekend in your great city! From this thread and elsewhere, I've got a pretty good list of places I need to hit, but are there any special events going on this week/weekend?

One of the main reasons for coming was to hit De Garde...I had planned to rent a car and hit degardebrewing on Friday or Saturday, but they just crushed my hopes and dreams by announcing they're closed for renovations this weekend...sad feels

 

[Shmeal]

Go to Hellshire day, they will be there.

Sorry man. Sincerely. We're at the mercy of contractors.

And only available on Sunday.

Try the Saison's we're bringing.
You win.

Edit: Deux tastes like funky OJ, Trois tastes like funky mango juice. Both with some barrel notes. Both beers I'm stupid proud of. In case that wasn't obvious.

Premiere was SO awesome. Definitely one of my new de Garde favorites. Are there still bottles? What's different/similar about the creation of these beers?

So glad I'm taking Bolt Bus from Seattle.

So, I am doing a Portland/Bend trip this upcoming weekend. Staying the night in Bend Saturday, and then driving to Portland from there to stay Sunday - Tuesday.

Any must stops and or special releases in either city these days? Hoping to stop by Logsden if they are open on Sunday, is that an option this time of year?

Any DeGarde avaialbe in either city also?

Any tips and suggestions will be much appreciated. Working on the itinerary with the GF later tonight, thanks!!!

 

[SeattleBeerPenguin]

Logsdon closed down the farmhouse to the public last year. They've got a new space in Hood River, but apparently that won't be open until May.
