    Long and short: I've got a friend who's graciously bringing me beer from Portland (to Texas) and I don't really feel like doing the research right now on who does or doesn't distribute to Texas anymore so I thought I'd ask you gracious people!

    Shoot and let me know which breweries in Oregon should be schlepped back to Texas.

    I'm a universal lover of beer (except sour ales, to be honest) so shoot me your suggestions, bitte!

    Going through this exact process...

    My list was:
    Deschutes Dissident, class of 88 series
    Ninsaki random selection
    Widmer Stouts any and all that can be acquired

    Go here: http://www.seekabrew.com/distro/index.html
    Click on Oregon, then compare to Texas.

    I'm not sure which are based in Oregon vs. just getting distro there, but here are what I'd look for from Seek-a-brew's list:
    AleSmith
    Anchorage
    Baron (Three Skulls)
    Caldera
    Cascade (Raccoon Lodge)
    Deschutes {shared distro, but maybe some great stuff is lying around}
    Elysian
    Hair of the Dog
    Hopworks
    Howe Sound [Limited]
    Jolly Pumpkin [Limited]
    Midnight Sun [Limited]
    Russian River
    Saint Somewhere
    Schlafly [Limited]

    Of course, it's whatever you prefer for style, quality, cost, location, etc.
    Cheers!

    Stop suggesting Cascade if she doesnt like sour beers. :stuck_out_tongue:

    seekabrew.com. You can do the work from there.

    Shame you don't like sours...Logsdon's Farmhouse Ales are top notch and they have a few beers that are not bretta'd.

    Get all Cascade stuff. Try one and when you decide you still don't like showers just bring the rest to my house. K thanks.

    Edit: Showers = Sours. I hope you like showers.....








    P.S. I have no real input.

    This. They make quality beers. As far as Cascade goes, maybe a Figaro. It had a great sweet taste to it, so it's a very fruity beer and only slightly tart.

    If I can get my hands on it, I'll definitely give it a try. I'm game to try anything, especially if it's well received by so many. Thanks!

    I know, it's pretty amazing - last time I was there I tried so many that I needed a day to recover after coming home. :stuck_out_tongue: I'm so excited about whatever my friend's bringing back to me...

    I just brought a Cascade Figaro back from Portland and it was one of the best beers I had. $25 a bottle, but worth every penny. I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can also visit their site and order beer directly from them. FYI.
