    Figured this would be a better place to ask. Best food option at PDX airport? I've got a couple hours to kill. Laurelwood? Country Cat? I ate at Rogue once before a flight to Tokyo.

    I'd say Country Cat for sure

    Country Cat, hands down. Henry's might be ok, but I've only had breakfast there. There's also a Kenny & Zuke's opening soon, but probably not before next weekend.

    Great thread! I'm going to be in Portland this weekend (Fri. - Mon.). Any tips on events I should hit / special draft or bottle releases / other beer stuff I shouldn't miss?

    Question for you how is your overall feelings about cheap charlies? I'd love to hear someone else's opinion about the place.

    Visiting Portland this weekend. Anyone seen Petit Nectarine around Portland at any bottle shops? Had it today on tap @ de garde and would love to grab 1 or 2 to go!

    Thanks!

    Arch Bridge has it. Assuming their bottle list is current.

    It usually is, though I would call over there first to be sure.

    I picked up a bottle of the peitit peche and the petit nectarine last weekend, and I think Gene and Todd mentioned they'd gotten in 3 cases of both (so there were no purchasing limits at the moment). Should still be around I would think, but definitely call over there first to be sure. Price was $11 a bottle if I recall.

    This thread is awesome. Thanks for all the tips everyone. I'm here this weekend too and will need a 12 bottle shipper for some stuff I bought. Anyone have a tip on where to pick one up?

    There's a couple places mentioned (with links) in the OP of this thread. The question comes up so often, it got added.

    I'm going to be in Portland on 12/2 and 12/3. Any places doing any special tappings/events or bottle releases around those dates? I'd love to hit a place with Notorious on tap as well if possible.

    Go to Growler Guys on SE 8th for Notorious. I can't remember the last time they didn't have Notorious on tap (I'm drinking a glass right now in fact), and unlike certain other spots in town, their price for notorious is always pretty reasonable.

    Have fun.
