Portland Fine Beverage Adventure

BridgePort Brewing Company Black Strap Stout at the BridgePort Ale House.

Portland has a KILLER scene for craft brews. I had the pleasure of judging a food and beer pairing event for Deschutes last night at the Deschutes Public House and spent the day prior aimlessly wandering from craft brewery to craft brewery. Look for coverage of the Deschutes event in the March issue of Mutineer. Here are a couple shots from Sunday’s adventures:

The Cask Conditioned Ales scene at BridgePort Ale House.

Perfect Pairing – Stout Onion Soup at BridgePort Ale House with chicken stock, Black Strap Stout, a crouton, and melted Swiss cheese.

A sign outside pumping up Ebenezer Ale on draft at BridgePort Ale House draws people in.

The Lucky Labrador Brewing Company pub, which is empty due to the company’s holiday party starting shortly after this photo was taken.
