You don’t have to twist my arm very hard to convince me to take a trip down to Portland to drink beer & eat good food. So, when Travel Portland invited me down to check out what is going on in their beer scene this winter, I didn’t hesitate for long. After all, one of […]

One of my favorite things about Seattle is how many great weekend trips we have available to us. Whenever a 3-day weekend, like this past Presidents Day weekend, comes around, my wife and I are often found exploring much of what the NW has to offer. Whether you head towards the coast, the mountains, Canada, […]

Portland in December – Day #2
December 21st, 2012 · 3 Comments · Beer Travels, Oregon Breweries
Do you realize how ridiculous it is that two of the country’s best breweries are within a 10 minute walk of each other? Portland’s Hair of the Dog Brewing Company (HotD) and Cascade Brewing both produce world-class beers, the likes of which you won’t find at your typical neighborhood brewery. The HotD taproom and the […]

Urban Beer Hike: Northeast Seattle Part 1

You likely won’t get many people pronouncing that Lake City, Ravenna, Maple Leaf or Pinehurst are the craft beer center of Seattle. But, this is just another […]
