Exploring Portland:
Green Dragon - visiting our buddy "Big Al" from the Rogue Brewery:
Green Dragon is named after Boston's Green Dragon - which I assume the bar's namesake has fallen into the Fanueil Hall curse of losing its awesomeness - b/c this place was great!
47 unique "small-ish" brewer's beers on tap
Half the menu...
"Buckman Village Brewery" is Rogue's effort to encourage brewing on a small scale - its the home of the "Portland brewers club" where they are equipped with the set-up Nick & Adam dream of! They meet weekly to review new recipes, tinker with different styles and even share their concoctions with the public...
Cascade Brewery - home of yummy sour beers:
Winter Gose & Beckberry
Autumn Gose & The Vine
Cascade Kriek
Nick's version of planning - 11 different brew pubs along our route - we made it to 6 (across 2 days), I'd say that is a sign of a very successful "beer-cation":
Stay tuned... tomorrow's "Portland pub/brewery crawl" has been planned for weeks, no months...
