One of my favorite things about any kind of travelling, be it for work or pleasure, is exploring the local beer scenes wherever I go. I found myself in Dayton, Ohio for work this past week and I took the opportunity to visit what beer spots I could, including a day of exploration just south […]

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 […]

Seattle has a lot of walkable neighborhoods that are perfect for exploring beer spots. A couple of weekends ago a group of friends joined Jeanne and I as we set our sights on the area around Green Lake.
