When not at a brewpub where to drink

30 to 31 days between monthly meetings, clearly there are many other opportunities to drink.

In the countdown between meetings there are a few watering holes often visited by beer club members

Saraveza (North Portland favorite)- 10 delicious taps , beer to go (including Old Chub), pasties, yumm- Rob

Produce Row (SE Portland) - >20 taps, bacon blue burger is divine , pasta of the week usually delicious- Rob

EastBurn - (E Portland) >15 taps, 2 dollar pint Tuesdays - Ben

Pause (N Portland) > 5 taps, slide special ($7 pint, 2 sliders) and they have my favorite Double Mountain IRA on tap -Rob

Mcmenamins > not necessarily a favorite but they are everywhere so it is hard not to a beer club member at one every once in a while

October Beer club- Philidelphia's

October's beer club visit was to Philadelphia's in SE Portland.

Todd, Steve, Scott, Rob, Ben, Lynn

The missing review-

amber- no ways its an amber, i like it (Steve), mooth (Lynn)

IPA- even keel, appeals to the masses (Steve), hopped up (Lynn)

Ben Brown- fruity (Steve), too sweet (Rob/Todd), unexpected (Scott)

Smith St Porter- sweet tarts (Steve), too tart, puckery (Rob) , oh! (Lynn)

Imperial stout- hiding the porter (Steve), better than porter (Rob), wow, thats not a complement (Todd)

The bright spot and star at Philadelphia's is the cheese steaks (and the salad was good too). The entire club would definitely endorse repeat visits for the food. The beer is a tale for another time. I will add those reviews later...
