Brief Beer Update from PDX


We tried to get to Walking Man Brewing Co after our hike but it was closed. SO, Yesterday we took a trip to Amnesia Brewing Co, a local brewery we had heard was one of the region's finest. It truly did not disappoint. Desolation & Copacetic IPAs were delicious, but the Desolation was a bit sweet and not a typical IPA. Too much malty and a little weird dark color. But an enjoyable pint, nonetheless.

The Copacetic though...heavenly. Perhaps one of the best we have had. All the words apply: piney, citrus, balanced, perfect. We'll have two.

The Dusty Trail Pale ale and the Slow Train Porter were yummy yummy too...But this is IPA country!

We enjoyed the outside ambience (Ben called it a car port) with the lovely sun and gentle breeze...ahh this is heaven!

On our list next up: Full Sail Scottish Ale, Caldera Brewing Pale Ale, Hub IPA, Hopworks IPA.
