the oregon trail is a road to liver failure

This weekend I’ll be in Bridge, Oregon for a wedding and then to Portland for some city adventuring. Now given the fact that I’m going this trip alone and won’t have a Cambaloney as navigational guide through the streets of Portland (as he was in the Big Apple), I thought I’d do some research on the city. And by research, I mean glance at Wikipedia for a few interesting factoids.

A few scant minutes of light reading later… lo and behold! I find that Portland is Beer Heaven for Beer Enthusiasts, boasting oodles of beer houses and proclaimed even by the city’s mayor, as Beertown.

Wow! I like this town already.

If not for the taste of the beer it promises, then for the shear volume of beer that’s being produced in a city that’s obviously obtained Beervana, the highest state of being, sharing a spot next to Lionshead Black Out.

I don’t want to spoil all the fun and tell you all the places I plan on visiting. The truth is, I’ll probably just end up wandering aimlessly around the city and checking out the places that suit my fancy at the moment.

I’m just saying….

Good things are a comin’!

A wedding. Food carts. Beer.
