Welcome aboard! You live in the best beer areas of America, not to mention one of the most beautiful.
Welcome to BA @Imaginator. I was going to point you in the direction of the NW Regional forum, but see you've already found it. Enjoy your time here.
Hey, @Imaginator, welcome to the site. I just drove a lot of the Oregon coast a couple months ago, Florence to Tillamook. Gorgeous scenery. You've found a great site to discuss beer, and it sounds like you've been busy exploring already, so good on you. Questions? Just ask. Enjoy, and Cheers!
Welcome! we would be glad to hear any more about yourself and your interests in beers. We had an interesting visit to the Astoria area couple months ago. So many worthwhile breweries up and down Oregon and Wash.
