Portland

Personally I would skip Mcmenamins, the beer is ok but better can be had elsewhere.

Awesome time. We take the boat down and moor downtown and drink all Friday night. Would recommend.

So many to recommend, here a few breweries

HUB
New Old Lompoc
Deschutes Pub
Hair of the Dog

of course many others, personally I would skip Mcmenamins, the beer is ok but better can be had elsewhere. Mcmenamins is a local brewpub chain that does a good job making each restaurant unique, but if I was basing it off beer, I'd choose someplace else.

It also does a good job of letting PDX fans claim that they have the most breweries of any city (often stated as most per capita which Portland is nowhere close to).

JohnF - with that said, and I do not disagree, PDX is still an awesome beer city and surroundings. you can not deny that. As I sit on the laptop and do a working beer lunch with 4 breweries within walking distance..............Don't hate!

Wish I could but my job keeps me at home during hurricane season.
