NO OTHER PORTLAND BUT FRESH HOPPED PORTLAND

September 7, 2016 by David Gillaspie

No city can be the Portland of the north, east, south, or west due to one basic truth. And it’s so obviously Portland. No place on earth is closer to the most valuable ingredient in beer. Hops grow down the road from a city with over 142 breweries in the metro area that pour 53 […]

NEUTRAL BIAS BEER TASTER

August 27, 2016 by David Gillaspie

A Beer Taster needs a clear palate, a neutral bias. If you agree a good beer, a great beer, is equal to the breath of life, then how can you tell if someone explaining a new beer shares your view? The breath of life part comes from CPR and the first puff of air you […]

PORTLAND OF THE SOUTH, PT 1

August 8, 2016 by David Gillaspie

From Portland to the Portland of the South starting in Knoxville. The true Portland of the South, according to local legend, is Asheville, North Carolina. After the cluster flop in the United terminal in Denver, going back to Portland would have been a good move, but intrepid travelers push on. Asheville is two hours away, which […]

ADD YARD WORK TO ANY CRIME AND IT’S NOT A CRIME

July 11, 2016 by David Gillaspie

The ‘get out of jail free’ card? Yard work. Rob a bank, steal a car, and do some yard work? Ok. Murder and pillage and do some yard work when I get back? Ok. It might sound easy, but adding yard work to your list of activities means doing yard work. If your yard needs […]

BASEBALL, BEER, FIREWORKS, BOOMERPDX STYLE

July 5, 2016 by David Gillaspie

In a search for holiday ideas, there’s BoomerPdx Style. Who drank a beer yesterday? Anyone? Super Patriot in their flag focused ensemble leads a toast. Slinky character in a DD214 t-shirt cheers him on. Everyone else joins in. If that’s your Fourth of July, you did it right. If it didn’t go that way, take […]

PORTLAND TAPROOMS: NINE COMMANDMENTS

June 29, 2016 by David Gillaspie

A cry for beer opened Portland taprooms, but suburban taprooms like Tigard’s Tapphoria make our day. An ocean of new beer flooded Oregon in the 1980’s. The original Portland Brewing next to the old Acapulco’s Gold on NW 14th and Flanders was enough to make beer lovers cry. Then things changed when small batch beer […]

HOW TO PORTLAND RIGHT

August 10, 2015 by David Gillaspie

New Arrivals Need To Portland Right Or Else Why Move Here? You’ve met the new neighbor, the new kid on the block, the one who can’t stop talking about where they came from. Maybe it’s Boston they talk about, the loser in the Portland name coin flip. They love Boston and everything about it. With […]

HEMPFEST VS BREWFEST

August 2, 2015 by David Gillaspie

Where Field Research Makes ALL The Difference. The view from walking into a Hempfest: Lots of people stretched out asleep. Tables selling brownies and cookies beside the walk up. The sleepers were on the grass behind them. It looked like a scene from a Charlton Heston movie, one of those where he’s the last man […]
