Capitol Brewers Pub Crawl

A couple weeks ago I was lucky enough to be invited along for a Portland Pub Crawl with Capitol Brewers, the hosts of our 2012 Homebrew Competition. We visited Migration, Green Dragon (Buckman), Cascade Barrel House, and Coalition. Here are a few photos.

Buckman's ginger beer is incredible. Tastes like a gingersnap cookie.

Buckman's fancy equipment.

Cascade. Can't go wrong here. So many wonderfully sour beers.
