    Thanks for the tip. Even though I'm a follower on their Facebook page (Roscoe's), for some reason I didn't get the "memo.". Here now, where it's nearly empty. Looks like generous 10 ounce pours today... $7 a pop. Washing down my second glass with taster pours of 2016 Willetized and 2020 parabola. They make great palate cleansers.

    I don’t actually begrudge your numerous PtY encounters, just know that I’m giving you stink-eye from Bend…

    And I really feel bad about it. Really I do...

    Ok, maybe not all that bad...

    Check the Apex when you get back in town. Price likely won't be to your liking, but they'll probably have it.

    It turns out the Boneyard pub, as announced on IG, will tapping a sixtel tomorrow at 2. Taster pours only.

    But if one made it over the mountains, maybe more than one did…

    The (only?) Salem keg has been tapped at b2. $8/8oz. Tapped 35 mins ago & it's a 1/6 barrel, so probably won't last long.

    The sixtel at Boneyard last to the next day, and it blew immediately after my taster. Beer ticked, life is complete.

    I can report that the keg at Twist was still going strong as of yesterday afternoon.

    Good to know. Also still on tap at the Apex as well, but I assume everyone probably already knows that.

    My guess is that the Apex will likely be pouring Younger into April (assuming the prior report is accurate, that they received 4 kegs of Younger this year).

    Out of curiosity, are they limiting Younger pours there? In the past there was a two glass per patron limit, but this year most every place here in PDX seems to have eliminated purchase restrictions.

    I heard that from a higher-up at Columbia, so I assume it's accurate information. And yeah, if that's the case, it'll be around a while.

    I didn't think to ask, but there wasn't anything on the menu about a limit. It was an 8oz. pour, and I only had one since we'd already been at de Garde prior to Twist.

    I know they tapped it last Thursday. When I commented to Chenin that we missed it there by about an hour last year, she said the weather was in our favor this year. Guessing business has been slower than usual, especially with the unusual amount of snow they got Wednesday.

    Thanks. I was just curious.

    It was stated pretty clearly on the menu the last time I went during Younger release week. That was 4 or 5 years ago I think. The folks working the counter then were also tracking everyone's purchases pretty closely, and they reminded a couple of patrons that there was a two glass limit. So it sounds like pretty much every place else, they also discontinued their purchase restriction policy this year.
