You ever make it to Backwoods? They have good beer, and food. Nice cozy atmosphere in the Pearl. Their Logyard IPA is delicious. I believe their place of origin is Carson WashingtonI don't know if they make it any longer, but Founders used to make Red's Rye. One of my all time favs. Alaskan Brewing also made an Imperial Red 22oz bomber with a crab on the label...but I don't know if they make that any longer. I love a good balanced Red IPA. I actually think Furious from Surly has a bit of a touch of red ipa to it.If anyone has any other red IPAs to recommend please let me know.
My favorite style of IPA besides west coast is black ipas or cascadian dark ales (that's what we call them out here). Wookey Jack from Firestone was one of the best ever but I think they stopped making that as well.
I don't think Fat Tire is made anymore, but that was the beer of choice for @Judge Smails legendary chili. Not my favorite beer to drink, but it did its job in his recipe with the sweetness to it. I'll now go with Alaskan Amber as a substitute. Not even sure if Deschutes still makes their Red Chair NWPA but I used that too.
Breakside had a black IPA on tap recently and it was really good.
Breakside also has an offering right now called "Dime Bag IPA" made with weed terpene. I ordered one recently and it smells precisely like a bag of marijuana. Not my favorite beer of theirs but kind of a neat novelty. We need to fling discs and hit the Beaverton Breakside next time the weather is right.
Not yet, but I just looked and they have one in Hillsboro (I like free parking) and guess what? I might actually have plans this weekend afterall! That food menu looks terrific. Thanks for this!
