Then it’s off to Bailey’s Taproom, and ultimately, after a long rest at the hotel, dinner at Higgin’s where they are delighted to score some Hair of the Dog Cherry Adam From the Wood to compliment the apple and cherry tart with brandy ice cream (a trip to Higgins is in the cards for yours truly too!).

Little did he know what was to come ...so sad. Burlingame was always my last stop before heading back to Seattle from the OBF. Remember they had random vertical bottles of things like Thomas Hardy & Celebration Ale? I know I still have some stuff I got there, like Rogue Old Crustacean. But it sounds like Market of Choice is a nice get for the neighborhood.

I've been to one in Eugene & it was awesome. Besides the beer, what I remember is getting some of the best packaged fresh salsa I've ever had ...it was made in Eugene, can't remember the name. It is better than any salsa we get in Seattle. Is this MoC where the (sadly gone) Burlingame Grocery used to be? Elvis, thanks for the tip on Market of Choice.

I do love their IPAs, Super Dog & Triple Threat ...mmmm-good. Lucky Lab is such a quintessential Portland place ...unpretentious, weird, wacky & wonderful. And glad to see Bailey's doing well. Jeff sure does a nice job keeping on a motley selection of eclectic beers. I haven't been since he added the beer engine ...yet another excuse for a visit to the Rose City? Thanks for the entertaining travelogue! ...also a great tip on hotel deals especially this time of year. I usually stay at Kennedy School or the Ace Hotel, but I'll have to try The Nines as well.

And took a bottle or five of his '09 Kriek home with you. Mmmm good! I hope you had a chance to try some of Ron’s sour beers at the Raccoon Lodge.

Try Market of Choice up in Burlingame just off I-5 south of downtown. Very good selection as well. I think Bailey’s is the best in town, with the Horse Brass of course being a great place as well.
