re: Visiting breweries

Will have to keep this in mind when I go to Oregon next year.

The vast majority the majority of the breweries serve food - certainly the big ones, do. Deschutes, 10 Barrel, Cascade, Hair of the Dog, Ecliptic, Breakside, Burnside, Base Camp, Laurelwood, etc...

A few notables that do not: The Commons and Upright do not serve food. I think you'll find enough places that serve food that you won't be bothered.

If you want to go to taprooms, though, that is a little different. A lot of my favorite taprooms don't serve food. Even though you are allowed to bring our own food into the bar, they still won't allow minors, since they are not a restaurant.

Also, the same is true out in the state. Rogue, Fort George, Block 15, Crux Fermentation Project, Barley Browns, pFriem, Full Sail, Goodlife, Double Mountain, etc... All serve food.

Ale Apothecary does not, although you can probably get a tour there if you call Paul Arney up and arrange it. They don't serve beer on site, so I don't think they have any restrictions on minors. Only beer served there is bottle shares with the owner, which have been known to happen if you bring something good.

Also in Portland, Hopworks, Lucky Labrador, Bridgeport, Tugboat, Widmer Bros, McMenamins, Stormbreaker, Migration, Occidental, PINTS, Alameda, Columbia River, etc... all serve food.

Chandeleur brewing company just opened in gulfport. Good beers

Definitely include Cinder Block on your KC list.

Will do. That was a few years ago at this point.

To be fair to myself, we had no plans to visit any breweries in particular. We were looking to analyze moving up there, so lots of walking around the city. We walked up on Bridgeport by shear accident. For Tugboat, a buddy and I were drinking across the street and looked out the window and saw a brewery sign in a window and went to investigate. I do not remember Rock Bottom, so that must have sucked.

Hopworks was a planned visit.

Ill bump this thread again in a week and update my breweries.

End of Summer 2016 bump/update... since I'm not going to Green Bay I don't expect to add on anytime too soon.
