Beer Luvvas,
I'm diverting from my reviews of the 2008 Oregon Brewer's Festival because I can't wait any longer to discuss the excellent experience/surprise I had at the new Deschutes Portland Pub!
First, the Portland Pub is a great place to grab a pint or twelve, and unlike some other reviews I've heard/read, I thought the food was fabulous! How many "meat" pizzas include Duck proscuitto?
And then there's the beer, they always have the Deschutes regulars on tap: Mirror Pond, Black Butte Porter, Obsidian Stout, Inversion IPA; and they rotate through the regular seasonals: Cinder Cone, Twilgiht, etc. However like the brewpub in Bend, they also have Bachelor Bitter ESB on cask; and I believe, allow their local brewers to try a few different things like Red Chair IPA.
But the best was for OBF weekend, the Portland Pub tapped a couple kegs of The Abyss! By far my best beer of the weekend! And yes, I do believe that Abyss is better than CEO from Right Brain (just in case anyone is doubting my allegiance to Oregon brewers).
I'm definitely adding Deschutes Portland Pub to the list of great places to get beer in PDX. I'm just not sure if I'm ready to move it into the Top 3.
Prost to the new Deschutes Portland Pub in the Pearl!
