One last stop - Anchor Steam in San Francisco: 

Bloody mary for me to try to recover from the day before... 

Cheers to an AMAZING adventure!

October 27th to November 7th 2010

Day 11: Portland Brewery/Pub crawl - the much anticipated day!

The Mission - 6 breweries/pubs: 

First Stop - Deschutes Brewery

Order of favorites: 

1) Inversion IPA on cask (tall glass)

2) Hop Trip (middle front)

3) Summer's Gone Saison (middle back)

4) Miss Spelt HefeWeizen (right back)

5) Cascade (right front)

Tied for ok = Forest strong ale on cask & Jubelale

Stop 2 - Rogue Distillery & Public House - our first visit here:

Yellow snow IPA (yum) & Shakespeare Stout on nitro (yum)

Stop 3 - Bridgeport Brewery - BEST brewery tour we have ever been too!

I thought I was so sneaky and stealing recipes for Nick & Adam, little disappointed that my sneak attack wouldn't help them much... Not that they need help with their beer recipes! :) 

HOP CLOSET - I want to live in here!!!

"Smell my hands!" 

(after rubbing yummy hops on my hands, I didn't want to wash them ever!)

Stop 4 - Lucky Labrador brewery:

"Got hops" and "Copperopolis" both just so-so

Stop 5 - Rogue round 2:

John John Hazelnut on cask (yum) & XS Imperial IPA (yum)

Stop 6 - Tug Boat Brewing Co.:

Day 10: Exploring Portland, but unfortunately also the day we both hit a wall...

Washington Park & Rose Garden: 

This never ending stair case might have added to the "hitting the wall"

Look the rose is taller than me!

Voodoo Doughnut: 

"Old Dirty Bastard" 

"Bacon Maple Bar" 

Beautiful sunny day walking around Portland: 

Ariel Tram: 

Dinner at Henry's Tavern: 

Look a familiar flavor! :) This Maine girl was quite proud! 

Ninkasi Tricerahops Double IPA (yum) & Double Mountain Hop Lava (ok)

Hot dog sliders (yum), Beer ValleyLeafer Madness (yum) & Mac & Cheese (ok)

We may have a hit a wall, or it might have just been us saving our steam for our last day Portland brewery/pub crawl!!
