Visiting PDX - Bottle Share Interest on 6/14?

No, Belmont Station has never hosted. They don't really have the space either. The only places that have hosted to my knowledge are Mongers, Commons, Tin Bucket and Hop & Vine. I think there was a place in NW that hosted once as well. I also know Green Dragon has hosted homebrewers, but don't know if they would be OK with purchased beer.

 

U-Brew in Sellwood may be willing to host on a Saturday.

 

Walking distance to my house... yes please!

 

Bailey';s to me is one of those place that has always been OK with people bringing in a bottle or two to share, but has never agreed to host a large gathering. I know we've taken a few bottles to Upright as well, but they also have never agreed to host a full bottle share.

 

H&V might be into this, as long as the PDX Beer Week event we're currently planning doesn't fall on that day. Right off the Yellow Max line is a plus. Recently built a bar in the bottle-shop that would serve as an ideal opening station/buffet for bottles. Limited chairs, but ample surfaces for beer. Give me a few days if nothing else falls into place soon.

 

Belmont has tons of room out back.
Bailey's is ok upstairs, but not Saturday, actually don't think it's open Saturday upstairs.

 

If you can make the drive, AVB in Hillsboro may be a good place.

 

The Upper Lip might be friendly to something like this, although I'm not sure about a Saturday.

 

What time were you thinking for the bottle share? I might be able to accommodate a share that's a little outside the box...say starting before noon as I'm going to open early for the World Cup games.

 

OH. HELL. YEAH.

 

Might be some Blue Star Donuts involved as well.

 

Sorry I can't give you a firm answer at this point. Will keep you posted if I think I can accommodate that late in the day.

 

Thanks a ton @TaborTime - keep us posted. I'm flexible on the times! What would the location be? (I don't live there so I have no idea)

 

Passed it through our GM as far as possibility at The Hop & Vine. If you'd like to do it here that evening, we're in, just let me know! Would have to cap at 20people or so I'd imagine, but the bottleshop bar would be the ideal serving point for a share. Again, just personally, being near a MAX line is a huge plus for post-share xportation needs. Keep me posted. I'm personally in for the share wherever it is held.

 

Never been to the hop and vine yet... Kid friendly? I'm guessing no. Thanks for the offer! Pretty awesome of you guys!

 

Kids in bar til 6, kids allowed in 'shop til 9. Share would be in the 'shop, though not a lot of "seating" outside of 4 stools and potentially a few more chairs pulled from bar-side.

 

Seating for the whole group would be slightly dodgy as it doesn't really have "tables". There's a bar that has 4 stools, which could be moved away from the bar to allow belly-uppage (I made a word!). There are 4-5 wooden barrels that could/would easily be cleared as tall-table style surfaces for setting down beer, etc, but there isn't necessarily room for 20 chairs, nor do we have that many extra from the bar side. If it's sunny out and 95% of regular bar customers would sit on the patio, there's potential to pull some more chairs over. It'd mostly have to be standing, moseying, etc rather than a sit-down affair.
