    Love both. It's definitely a clash of the titans between the two. However, Boneyard RPM IPA puts Oregon over the top.

    I will also add that Ninkasi is extremely overrated in general

    My Oregon loving treason only goes so far. I boycott all Eugene beer unless it’s free beer.
    It isn't that great either. But Boneyard is out of Bend, so you are good there.

    It’s gonna take me a while to work through all the Bend beers. Has to be the 3rd best beer town in the West. Maybe even first place per capita.

    Worthy is out of Eugene, and their Lights Out Stout is a decent cheap sixer.

    Boneyard in every bistro and restaurant in Portland burned me out on it. Their pub in Bend is pretty nice though, MKP, and they put out some orange pale ale that was really good when it was 100+ out there.

    It’s definitely overly accessible for sure.

    I don't even drink beer anymore, but if I did, it wouldn't be craft IPA shit. Coors or Yuengling. I'm not a fancy man. It's a rum (and a little whiskey) life for me.

    Like we say, fuck off.

    #myvandals #PCC

    You're not in the Pac 12 @PurpleThrobber . And borderline PNW at best.

    #culturalbackwater








    When Deschutes County gets their shit together and secedes from Oregon, you'll be begging to be part of the #myvandals crew.

    Per capita there's way more fake boobies in Kootenai County than Deschutes County by far.

    Please don't tell me it's spiced rum, or I'll be finished off.

    Today's further evidence that we've reached Peak Beer° and therefore the debate is pointless:

    So I was on my way to Home Depot (it was lovely), and I decided I was a little thirsty. And my wallet was a little thick, causing lower back pain from leaning, so I decided I'd splurge and head to Structures:

    Imperial Stout
    Blend of both old and young Stout from
    Buffalo Trace Barrels
    Conditioned on Vanilla, Coconut and a touch of Nutmeg
    Alcohol by Volume: 11.4%


    A Gooey version of non-barrel aged Feral Bones
    Conditioned on Peanut Butter and Cacao
    Alcohol by Volume: 12.4%


    Both fucking amazing. Are there breweries in Oregon (or California or Colorado or New York or Missouri...) that can and do something similarly unique and awesome? Of course, and I've had plenty of it. It's kind of splitting hairs to say any are better than another when the high end good stuff is almost always limited release. What's my favorite brewery? Depends on what's on tap/in bottles when I walk in, I guess, and that changes frequently. There are definitely breweries that can do no wrong, and I've listed a couple. If we're just talking about which state has the most of these, I guess that's worth debating. I sure didn't care about such debates by the time I was about six ounces in last night...


    PS: Which one of you fucks was sitting outside of Structures yesterday evening, black hat with purple dub on it, taking a picture of his hazy IPA like a knob?

    Nope good sipping rum like Flor De Cana and Zacapa. Men's rum. No pussy shit. And the terrorist and rowboat have me swilling Whiskey on the reg now. Just bought some Blue Label. I had to steal the money for it.

    That's what I love about the industry. So saturated there are always quality options worth your money, pretty much wherever you go.

    IPA's have become annoying. I get it. I love hazy's and farmhouse ales, and pilsners.

    Maybe a lot of it is hipster and gaye, but we all love butt slamming each other anyways, so whatever.

    Flor De Cana is the SHIT! My buddy with a CentroAmericano wife turned me onto it.

    I left @swaye a 3 minute whisk(e)y podcast voice message the other day. Shit it getting real gay up in here.

    And yes @TurdBomber Flor De Cana is the SHIT. @Dennis_DeYoung (RIP) of all people turned me on to it some years ago. It's my go-to for cheap silver rum.

    I feel like it didn't have to be this way with IPA's but the hop wars just got out of hand.

    What do you like @haie for farmhouse ales out of the PNW?

    I feel like the farmhouse stuff was a trend in 2015-16 when I was living in east Portland, but it's hard for me to find them in SW WA and N Oregon now. Laurelhurst (I think?) off Sandy was where I was drinking a lot of those.

    2016. Good year for a lot of stuff. Feels like a decade ago now.

    I might enter my craft beer making stage and try brewing some myself.

    Some of the best farmhouse beers you will find come out of Oregon from de Garde Brewing. Top-shelf stuff, lots of wild fermented beers.

    I can recall going to Cascade Barrell House in PDX with my HS History teacher like 7 or 8 years and they had some great sours. Don't recall on the farm house thing.

    Honestly, my favorite place has been Gigantic because A) it's a shit hole, and B) they give me shit for wearing UW gear every time. My favorite beer is from there as well

    Was going to suggest de Garde as well. There's a new brewery out of Skagit County that's nothing but saisons, farmhouse, sours. Garden Path Fermentation Project. I tried one, and it's pretty good stuff. Other than that, all I can say is that it better be pretty fucking good for what they charge for the stuff.

    @BleachedAnusDawg, you ever had any sours from North Fork? They're shockingly good, and they price accordingly. I once filled up a pair of growlers with each of the sours they had on tap. Really wished I would have asked for the price first. I parted with a Benjamin and then some... Anyway, it's way the hell out there on the way up to Baker, but their beer is really good.

    The 64 ducks were rich cool and 6-0 after a 7-0 win over Washington. They had beat Penn State and Pitt

    Then they lost to Stanford, tied WSU and lost the Civil War

    Early Pac 12 North foreshadowing

    UW beat USC and Cal and lost to Oregon. Lambo was on that team
