Saturday Kelli arranged a tour of the Widmer Bros. brewery here in Portland for my birthday. The tour was fantastic. If you have not been, I highly recommend it! The tour guide Robert was extremely knowledgable and runs several beer events in the NW as well has been brewing beer for over 20 years so he can definitely answer your questions. Before you start the tour you see a video of how Widmer started and then get to sample four of their beers. Nationwide Widmer is most famous for their Hefeweizen but their Drop Top Amber is also a great beer. You can actually taste and smell the honey in this beer. Also I'm a big fan of their Snow Plow Milk Stout. In any case if you have a Saturday free, it's worth the trip. Plus you get a free Widmer Pint glass on your way out.
The last two posts now have been about beer. I think this means I should give up beer for lent! What do you think?
