Ninkasi.
Best. Brewery. Ever.
Though the brewery is only 3 Years Old...this $h!% is going to be blowing up soon. Keep your ears to the ground.
Ben & I have just come back from visiting their brewery. Though we may never have it again, Maid in the Shade (an Imperial IPA?) --Made in the Shade??--Maiden the Shade?-- was the most amazing special limited edition seasonal brew, made specifically for the Oregon Country Fair. And apparently totally un-googleable.
dang, the secret is out. hope you're having a grand time here in Oregon during craft beer month.
ReplyDeletehey portland, stop hogging all the awesome. there are other places, like atlanta, that could use some more.

ReplyDeletealso, I love the shout out to the Sumerian goddess of beer. If anyone wants to read the ancient hymn to Ninkasi, written near the dawn of writing itself...
