Learning from the best
Hey everyone!
Hope you are all doing well. It seems my body clock is still on Pacific time because I am wide awake. I just got back from a quick trip to Oregon with my girlfriend and thought I'd share some pics with you guys. There are none involving cigars although I did have my first Frank, Anejo Shark, and Viaje Summer fest. Each were a real pleasure and lived up to their hype. Enough talk..
Crater Lake National Park:
I wish I could eat breakfast here every morning.
Jumping into 40*F water requires a little psyching up.
Portland:
Disc golf near the Columbia Gorge. The basket was straight down this huge cliff!
Portland International Beer Festival
Sushi train place. Worth a trip any time you're in Portland.
Oregon Brewers Festival with the Hop Czar. After trying over 30 different brewing styles I was reassured that I truly am an IPA lover!
Most memorable beers from both fests:
Lagunitas: A Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale - American Wheat Strong Ale
Firestone Walker: Union Jack - American Pale Ale
Spezial: Rauchbier - Smoked Lager (tastes like bacon!)
Kona Brewing Co: Coco-Loco. They are on to something. Perfect fusion between coconut and beer.
I hope you are all getting a chance to take a break and enjoy summer too.
Thanks for looking!

I must now seek out and have this beer. I mean who doesn't like bacon :grin:. Looks like a great trip, that pic of Crater Lake is amazing.
