I used to go to the Portland Brewers Festival every year for a number of years, but then I had kids and was either too busy or B scheduled something for that weekend. Finally this year I had the epiphany that I could take Thurs and Friday off work, drive down, taste beers, and drive back, not missing B's weekend plans. My not-brother-in-law Bill went with me, we had a great time. Here's the list of beers I tasted and their scores. The scale was 1-4, 1 being bleh, 2 being OK, 3 being tasty, and 4 being holy hell I have to get more of that. Brown: Kona Brewing - Coconut Brown Ale - 3 Imperial/Strong Beer Valley - Leafer Madness Imperial Pale Ale - 2 Green Flash - Green Flash Imperial IPA - 4 (Best In Show in my mind) Laughing Dog - Alphadog Imperial IPA - 4 Old Market Pub - The Kraken Imperial IPA - 3 IPA: Alameda - El Torero - 3 Golden Valley - Bald Peak IPA - 2 Great Divide - TItan IPA - 2 Hazel Dell - Hazel Dell IPA - 1 Mt Shasta - Mountain High IPA - 2 Port Townsend - Hop Diggidy IPA - 3 (I had a 22 of this on the 4th of July, it was MUCH better than what was on tap at OBF) Standing Stone - Double IPA - oops tried it but forgot to rate it Stone - Stone Cali-Belgique IPA - 2 (half ipa half belgian, not bad) Pale Ale Boundary Bay - Amarillo Double Dry Hopped Pale Ale - 3 (really good) Lagunitas - New Dogtown Pale Ale - 3 Rogue - Latona Pale Ale - 2 Pilsner Full Sail - LTD03 - 2 Trumer - Trumer Pils - 2 Victory - Prima Pils - 3 Red Double Mountain - India Red Ale - oops tried but forgot to rate Stout Bison Brewing - Organic Chocolate Stout - 2 Oakshire Brewing - Overcast Espresso Stout - 2 Riverport Brewing - Old Man River Oatmeal Stout - 3 I also picked up a Deschutes Inversion IPA shirt (they were out of my size of Obsidian Stout shirts) and two bottles of Black Butte XXI. |
