With a trip to Portland for the Holiday Ale Fest, a work trip to San Francisco, and then trips to Chicago and Connecticut for the holidays [...]

September 19th, 2011 · No Comments · Bar Reviews, Beer Travels
On a trip down to Tacoma this weekend, I hit up Engine House #9 for the first time. Located pretty much across the street from the Red Hot, there were some solid beers, some not so great beers, and a couple really good beers (Fresh Hop Harvest and Bourbon Barrel Stout). Pictured here is their Spike’s [...]
Portland Beer Trippin’ Part 2: Imperial IPAs & Exploration
July 27th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Bar Reviews, Beer & Food, Beer Travels, Oregon Breweries
Someday, maybe I’ll have visited Portland enough times where there just isn’t anything of interest (from a beer perspective) left that I have not already visited. But, for now (after maybe ten trips in five years?) there are still plenty of new-to-me places to keep me busy. Our first day in PDX was a great one, but [...]

Portland Beer Trippin’ Part 1: Cheese Bar, Roscoe’s and More
July 25th, 2011 · No Comments · Bar Reviews, Beer & Food, Beer Travels
It was just a couple short months ago that I was last in Portland checking out spots such as Migration, Coalition, and Burnside. But, I’m pretty sure you can’t make too many trips to Portland to drink beer, so a couple weekends ago it was back on the train and down to PDX for another [...]

After visits to Deschutes, Bailey’s, Pine State Biscuits, Coalition Brewing, and Migration Brewing (read all about it in Part 1), Jeanne and I were off to a great start in what ended up being another impressive Portland exploration trip a couple of weekends ago. We were enjoying the sun and beers so much at Migration [...]

April 7th, 2011 · 17 Comments · Bar Reviews, Beer & Food, Washington Breweries
With 26 taps of beer, killer burgers, fresh hearth-baked pretzels, and lots of other food choices to taunt you, the new Brave Horse Tavern makes me wish I worked at the nearby Amazon.com HQ in South Lake Union (seriously, I’m in Finance; call me!). Located at 310 Terry Ave N, we visited the Brave Horse Tavern for [...]

One of my favorite parts about having this website is reporting on trips I take and the beers and places I experience while traveling. While this trip is not my own (how I wish it was), my friend Bob Payne, web producer at the Seattle Times, is in South Africa and promised to write up [...]
