    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.

    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.

    My heart just broke, then died a little.

    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?
