Portland, Oregon: Brewtopia, Munich on the Willamette, Beervana. The town is well-known and well-loved for its bounty of craft breweries. Since the 1980s, Portland has lead the country in microbreweries; there are now more than 68 in the Portland Metro area. Join me on a walk of my four favorite microbreweries in the Pearl District downtown. I'll recommend both my favorite beers and tasty food pairings to complement them. This is a great way to see a new side of the town.
Writer, traveler, wood worker, beer lover. I've lived in the Pacific Northwest my entire adult life - I came for the greenery and stayed for the microbreweries, music scene, coffee, cherries, doughnuts, fishing, hiking... it's a long list. Not sure if I'll ever leave.
We'll kick off our pub crawl with a warm up at 10Barrel.
