Where should I visit.

[East Coaster]

I signed up for a school team that will be building a mini-Baja car and then shipping it to Portland to race it against other similar cars, I also Whitewater kayak and will be hitting up some good rivers whilst I am there and have a place to stay with a kayaker who used to live on the East coast of Canada. My Question is what brewpubs, pubs, and bers shall I keep my eye open for.

I will be competing in Portland but am unsure of where my buddy resides at this time.

I have heard rumors of Rogue and hair of the dog and recognized Full sail on the prewpubs list for Oregon on the site, but any others?

Ein Prosit.

Honestly, you can't turn a corner in Portland, OR without stepping into a brewpub. You're going to be overwhelmed! But in a good way.

If you can, get out to the original Rogue brewery in Newport -- it's a beautiful setting and a fun tour.

A visit to Portland is not complete withoout a stop at Horsebrass. The place is legendary, and well deserving of its status.
As Steve said, there are dozens, or more, worth stopping at.

I agree with beerking on the Horse Brass. As far as Rogue is concerned, if you want to stay in the metro area, they have a brew pub in town at 1339 NW Flanders. Deschuttes also has a new place in town. Heard it is real nice. You can pretty much walk a few blocks in any direction and fall into the door of a good place to find a brew. The Blue Monk, New Old Lompoc, Laurelwood etc...

I am quite excited to be headed to a place where there is such a variety of places to test out, My trip is to be much later in the year, we will be competing with the car May 7th and for about 4 days after that then I am freee to explore.

Thanks for the site Steve.

Too bad. That's just a little late for Spring Beer and Wine Fest.

I second Rogue! You can become a Rogue Nation Member. They take your picture, give you a card, and you get a discount on beer. On your birthday they give you a free liter of anything you want and a t-shirt! Its great!

I've been wanting to try rogue's beers for a long time now I have read a lot about them in various literature. The Rogue Nation Memeber looks like something I will join for sure, thanks for the info on all the goodies.
