Meet the new PBR (Old German if you are that guy); Montucky Cold Snack!

Great can - check
Drink for charity - check
Tells people not to be a jerk - check

Found at a lot of local corner stores around town. I am going to make the change happen.

 

[Devolution]

Had one of those the other day and fell in love with it lmao.

Bye and bye.. And a few others I can't remember lol.

Hope you got the Bye and Bye =D.

Ha! I knew someone would have stumbled upon it by now. Beer of the summer!

I did, think that got me off to a strong start. Great night, feel like walking around in Alberta made Portland click for me on a different level.

So, trying Fire on the Mountain tonight. How are the bars on Burnside?

Great choice.

Bars are just alright on Burnside, nothing special.

Bars are pretty standard around there. It might be a good time to do the Sassy's + Union Jacks strip club walk to get another side of Portland culture (most strip clubs per capita in the country).

Friend ain't about that strip club life.

Spent most of the day in Hawthorne. Which neighborhood has a unique selection of bars?

If you have already been to Hawthorne and Alberta, you may check out Mississippi area. They have some fancy bars, breweries, and some just plain old places.

Second this if you want a specific area with a couple different bars/atmospheres too chose from.

Stopping on the way to Bend for World Cup at Horse Brass Thursday morning and then Hair of the Dog and Cascade.

isn't that the place with the banana ketchup?

Pfriem and Logsdon in Hood River, too.

Hey, thanks a lot for the suggestions. Ended up going to Misissippi and having a great time. Miss the hell out of Portland, maybe my favorite city I've visited in my life. Love the look and feel of it. It even beat out Seattle on my trip, so good job guys.

Yeah.

Wings are up there as my most favorite dish in general. If I visit a place and hear things about a really good wing place, I go there to check it out. I visit every single one within a decent distance of where I live.

FOTM is my #1. The Cajun Tots and Deep Fried Pickles are both really good too.

Glad you had a great time.

 

[kittens]

What's new, PortlandGAF?

 

[mkenyon]

I just got back from a weekend down there celebrating my pal's 30th. For breakfast today, I went to Annie's Doughnuts on recommendation from another pal.

I almost always try to find a way to stop by Voodoo to pick treats up for my wife and friends up here (Olympia), and get a Memphis Mafia for myself. But man, Annie's puts it to shame in quality. The raspberry fritter was stupid good.

 

[distantmantra]

Had a great time watching the US-Germany game at Apex on Thursday morning. Bunch of Barley Browns beers and Pine St Biscuits. The Brandy Cherry Fred at Hair of the Dog with lunch was pretty damn epic, too.

 

[Interfectum]

Just got back from Portland on Sunday. What a fantastic city. Watched the US / Germany game from the Rogue Pub House, visited the Japanese, Rose and Chinese gardens, went to Mt Hood and the Columbia River Gorge, did a tour of some of the local breweries and ate at some crazy good restaurants (Ned Ludds, Little Bird, etc).

Had some Voodoo donuts too!

I want to go back. >.<

 

[FyreWulff]

I know I posted in here a way back but I'll finally be moving to Portland two days from now. Any good local gyms to recommend?

Sweet! What part of town will you be in? There's tons of gyms here.

North-ish, currently

Need one with treadmills, or if place I end up has enough space, might just buy a treadmill.

 

[mkenyon]

Run outside!

 

[Socreges]

Just a couple weeks until Oregon Brewer's Festival and my first visit to Portland...

Anyone want to recommend a pub/bar with a great tap list? Maybe one with a great patio?

-belmont station for a good variety, fair prices, good service, and a relaxed atmosphere
-prost for german style beers and soccer people
-imperial taproom for a modern growler pouring house in a great neighborhood
-tin bucket for a modern growler pouring house in a good neighborhood
-apex for overpriced drinks and a cool people vibe (cash only)
-horse brass for a dark english style pub with a good tap list (no patio)
-muddy rudder for a dark english style pub with an okay tap list in a great neighborhood (yes patio)
-gigantic on se 26th has good outdoor seating but the tap list is pretty basic
-stormbreaker brewing: same as gigantic but in north portland instead

i usually stick to one of those

 

[FyreWulff]

Run outside!

I'll do that after I lose about another 60lbs. I like being able to hold constant heart rate without thinking about traffic/people/heat

Nice! Does Prost have a patio? I've heard good things

The one on Mississippi has a nice patio and liter beers. Great place for summer drinking

 

[xxracerxx]

I hate Prost....that is just me though.

 

[Socreges]

Belmont Station was also part of the plan. Especially since Prost doesn't have any of the WA/OR/CA brews, which is essentially the goal.

Spoiled for choice while having too little time. No missteps allowed...

Are you stopping in Seattle?

 

[Socreges]

Are you stopping in Seattle?

Sadly, no. Gotta make it down to San Diego so we agreed to bypass Seattle entirely since we'll be returning shortly anyhow.

Made it. Why is it so hot outside. The PNW is supposed to be cool and rainy.

 

[Doombear]

Enjoy it while it lasts, or curse it. Curse it with every breath... and eventually it will start raining again, forever.

 

[kittens]

Portland has three seasons.

October - March: cold and wet
April - June: warm and wet
July - September: hot and dry

 

[FyreWulff]

[kittens]

Nah, it's more like this:

 

[Doombear]

Yes, much more like Kitten's version of rain. You can never let the rain know you know it's there. No blinking it out of your eyes, no umbrellas, none of this carrying around extra socks nonsense! If you let it trick you you have to move away. =(

I'm born and raised in Portland and I bear my umbrella with pride.

Unless I'm biking. Then I just don my rain gear and hate life.

 

[Devolution]

I wanna get a kitty umbrella again, my original one broke.

 

[Doombear]

I was trying to be sarcastic, kittens! Online. I know, I know. I love the rain, and love that there seem to be 'rules' about it that somehow mark you as less of a Portlander if you don't follow them when in fact, it is just a pile of shit.

 

[kittens]

I like how it's July and we're talking about rain.

Ah, okay

 

[FyreWulff]

I was in Vancouver BC for a bit so i know sadrain.gif

But for me, that's better than Nebraska's rain you can never be outside in because it's trying to kill you. To death.

 

[DrBaalzamon]

As a side note, trying to find a reasonably priced window or even stand alone A/C unit seems to be futile. Anyone tried to make one of those build your own with a cooler? I can tolerate the heat relatively well but at night it would be nice - especially since its suppose to get to like 90 next week, yikes!

 

[kittens]

The forecast says it'll get up to 104 next week. We gonna die.

 

[Socreges]

Best place downtown to get some delicious tasty grub $10ish (or less)?

 

[FyreWulff]

Looking for a place. The room ads all borderline on either housing discrimination or people that don't want renters to live in the place they rent.
