harborside restaurant for their Full Sail lineup. Slainte stout on
both cask and nitro were both solid and the imperial porter was a
great take on the style with nice coffee notes. But the barley wine,
old boardhead, had some nice sweet honey and maple and was incredibly
drinkable.
Henry's was next up with 160 taps...what a selection. I have to give a
big thanks to the bartenders who were incredibly helpful with tastings
and suggestions. Highlights were hair of the dog blue dot IPA,
Oakshire espresso stout, and Fanno Creek vanilla porter. We enjoyed
those couple of hours so much that we went back later in the night.
Definitely recommended for anyone visiting
Portland.
In the mean time we made a quick stop at baileys taproom which had a
great lineup for only twenty taps. My sampler consisted of deschutes
mirror mirror, laurelwood tree hugger porter, amnesia double
desolation, new old Lompoc Brussels stout and new
Belgium la folie. Some great Oregon beers, but la folie is still one
of my favorites. Great first day in Oregon and looking forward to
heading down the coast next!
On the way: John's marketplace, raccoon lodge (cascade brewing),
Tillamook cheese then to the beach. I'll check back in later.
