There's a ton of breweries out here. So far we've hit Rogue, Fat Tire out in Hood, and Deschutes. There's still a ton more - seems like a whole section of downtown is dedicated to good beer and their breweries.

ETA Rogue is at the top of my list next to Fat Tire.

I got a buddy who's a big fan of Fat Tire.

I believe Portland has the most breweries of any town in the country, something like 28 of them. I lived in Seattle for a while and enjoyed all the breweries the NW had to offer.

Ok, just my quick amateur review of Sam Adams Imperial White...
Wow...
It's a nice, strong brew at 10.3%...
It has a caramel sweetness and just a hint of bitter in the finish.
Definitely a much bigger beer than I would expect from something called a "white".
I would definitely buy another 4-pack.

I was at the store tonight and the Breakfast Stout is in stock and being brewed but the Kentucky Bourbon Stout will not be brewed until late fall. Both are similar but the breakfast stout is brewed with coffee. Both are aged in oak bourbon barrels.

The Breakfast stout is the one that sounds good to me. Hints of coffee and vanilla and bourbon. Yum. I would be glad to paypal you some money to get a four pack shipped. Dont know how easy that would be to do though.

Let me look into shipping and the legality of it crossing state lines. If there is no problem, I will ship it to you.

What? Did you get Rogue to send you some Blackened Voodoo or Abita beer?
