Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 07:51 Fri 5/2/2014 Originally posted by 3fourths I spent the first twenty years of my life there, and grew up loathing the intentional weirdification. uniqueness always thrived well in Portland, a slogan for the squares was not required, and pdx needed to stop self-promoting weirdness... there’s uniqueness to find in every city. in Portland there are a lot of phonies and pretenders in the mix, growing up believing the memes, copying each other, playing along... There are a number of cities that you can draw parallels to and complain about in this regard: Seattle Austin San Francisco (though they were kind of the originator of the whole thing)
Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 08:12 Fri 5/2/2014 Which reminds me that I should add Whip In (Austin) now that they’re brewing. Indian food, smoke shop, bottle shop, and live country music all in one, in a strip mall. http://www.ratebeer.com/p/whip-in/30/

Message 3fourths P beers 9492 º places 1576 º 08:30 Fri 5/2/2014 http://www.ratebeer.com/p/wild-river-pizza-company-brookings/2784/ small town southern Oregon coast spot it pretty much the only thing beer-worthy on the coast between Arcada/Redwoods and Newport, Oregon. back then at least, maybe not anymore. i don’t think they brew on location so doesn’t count anyway. strange like hick strange. dingy Chuck-e-Cheeses pizzeria with cafeteria seating and a small bar back near the pizza order window. kids everywhere. families drinking soda. everybody there seemed oblivious about the beer. to their credit the imperial stout was solid.
Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 08:32 Fri 5/2/2014 Does having a brewpub in a windmill count as weird? De Molen (Holland), not sure they actually brew here but it’s an awesome place http://www.ratebeer.com/p/eet-bierlokaal-de-molen/6121/ Brouwerij ’t IJ (Holland), smelled like shit from the cheese and spent grains, service was awful, beers were meh. At least it’s not in the touristy part of Amsterdam. http://www.ratebeer.com/p/brouwerij-t-ij-amsterdam/200/
