Drinking beer and listening to the classics

3-Way, right?
I had that the other week. It was good, but not as good as some of the offerings in years past.
-
Correct.
I wouldn't even say it's better than Vortex.
But it just reinforces that Ft George is one of the best breweries in the entire PNW.
-
I like the City of Dreams.
Pfriem is probably the best craft brewery in the PNW however. -
Alll depends on style of beer at this point. I could pick it a dozen "best brewery" based on what I'm drinking. Pfriem is on the overall top tier, though. Many good things there.

I stay in good river every year. Their beer scene is better than almost everywhere else.
-
I usually stay across the river from Hood River on the Washington side at least once each year. Girlfriend's family has a house there. Not a big brewery guy but will have to check out.

Pfriem is outstanding. They've seriously increased distribution into northern Idaho grocery stores and I'm grateful.

I like their color coded can system. When it's hot out and I'm on the river or golfing it's White Cans. When I want to mess with @chuck 's golf game it's Black cans of IPA with high ABV.

We stay in Skamania lodge a couple times a year. I've seen Fabio a bunch in their breakfast thing. One time the waitress came over to us crying because he knew her pretty well and her husband had just died and he said he was going to pay for the casket, or some really substantial part of it.
If we have our kids with us we stay on the Hood River side, because despite their effort Skamania still kind of sucks for kid activities.
Thunder Bay Brewing in Cascade Locks is the place I most recommend because it's such a nice facility, and in the summer there used to be all sorts of other fans to talk to, whether quooks or Cal/Stanford bros trying to windsurf/hike or whatever.
In general I just have had a way better time in that area than Bend, but I don't ski or care for a lot of the stuff in that area which is a big reason.
