    I am looking for the best porters/imperial porters in oregon. What are they and where can I find them?

    Wild Ride's Nut Crusher PB Porter

    Probably worth noting Sandy Paws is a Baltic Porter, if that matters to you. Deschutes did a very good Baltic this year too, but I think it's probably all gone.

    Where is your go-to for purchasing? I haven't seen most of these at new seasons

    I typically shop at New Seasons, World Foods or John's Marketplace. Sometimes I make it out to Belmont Station (I live west of Beaverton).

    I'd throw Caldera's Mogli into the mix here...

    Came here to recommend Ferment Woodsman Porter, but I see that @jason_nwx has already done so.

    It's a good one. Excellent roastiness, good body, and slightly smoky with a nice dose of spruce in the finish. (If you don't want spruce in your porter, give this one a pass.)

    Every now and then I also enjoy a Capella Porter from Ecliptic.

    On my recent foray to Southern Oregon I grabbed a Caldera Toasted Coconut Chocolate Porter based on the recommendation above. Sorry Ryan, but I don't agree. I wasn't impressed. My opinion of Caldera generally remains unchanged. YMMV

    Finding Black Butte should involve walking into a bar or a grocery store. This may be an exaggeration, but it's not much of one.
