It's Pub Night

Donnie the Elder Muskmelon Gose Withdrawn

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 12:17:00 +0000

You're used to seeing announcements on social media about new beers, or this year's release of an old favorite. Here's a new one, a beer cancellation. Usually breweries don't need to specifically note that they will no longer make a certain beer, they just stop making it. So I was surprised to see a local brewery — you can figure out which one — announce on Facebook that they will no longer be brewing their love-it-or-hate-it Donnie the Elder double gose flavored with muskmelon.

Muskmelon — another word for cantaloupe — gave the beer its distinctive orange color, but the taste wasn't for everyone. The double gose (sometimes abbreviated "doge" on the blackboard) had a small but vocal minority who liked it, but wasn't popular enough to keep in the rotation. The brewers had briefly experimented with a lighter-bodied version that wasn't as sharp, and not as pungent or orange-colored, that was called Donnie the Younger. But it turned out no one liked that one, not even fans of Donnie the Elder.

The first time I saw Donnie the Elder on tap at the brewery, I asked where the name came from. I mean, obviously it is an homage to Russian River Pliny the Elder, but I wondered who Donnie was. The head brewer happened to be standing behind the bar, and he laughed when he heard the question. "That's a good story!" he said. Here's a paraphrase of what he told me:

Donnie was this scruffy orange cat that used to hang around the brewery parking lot. The first time we saw how orange the cantaloupe made our gose, we knew we would name the beer after the cat. Come to think of it, almost no one liked Donnie the cat either — terrible personality, fur sticking up in bizarre ways, peeing on everything. There was this one weird and unpleasant assistant brewer named Leon that was here for a while, and one of the weird things about him was, he actually liked the cat. He's the one who named it. I think he named it after Donnie Darko, but maybe it was Donnie from the Big Lebowski. Anyway, Leon got Donnie neutered and deflead, but he was still a terrible cat. We weren't too sad when Leon left with Donnie. I wonder where Leon is now?

Manchester Craft Brewery Crawl

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 02:54:00 +0000

If you've spent any time with me, you've heard my lecture along the lines of "Well you know, for us cask ale is an especially good kind of craft beer, but in England the cask ale lovers hate 'craft beer'". It's true. The CAMRA crowd consider craft beer to be too expensive, too strong, too gassy, and too pretentious. When I'm travelling there, I fall in with the real ale crowd and spend almost all of my time in real ale pubs. That's my own pretentiousness showing, though I sincerely love the pub atmosphere and the lower-alcohol beer. And I appreciate a bargain.

On a trip to Manchester this month with Pub Night charter member Lindsey, we mostly focused on cask places, but we did set aside a day for a craft beer crawl. We started at the venerable Northern Monk Refectory in the Northern Quarter, continuing on to Cloudwater, Track, and Sureshot in the industrial area on the wrong side of the tracks behind Piccadilly train station. Balance Brewing a few doors down from Sureshot was closed for our crawl so we visited it a few days later.

Tip: Google Maps gives horrible walking directions in Manchester. It will never tell you to take the scenic canal walk from Northern Monk to Cloudwater shown on this map. Instead it will march you along 4-lane thoroughfares the whole way. And the canal path is such a cool walk! See how the map shows the canal going under Store St? When you walk it, you discover that the canal is lifted up over Store St. It's delightful. One way to get better walking hints is to turn on the bicycle layer in Google Maps -- it will show nicer streets or paths to walk on. Maybe Google's deficiency isn't Manchester-specific -- I was also mystified by some of its choices in Liverpool and a small town in Wales.

Northern Monk

I first learned about Northern Monk on a visit to Leeds -- where they are based -- a few years ago. Then on my last pre-Covid trip abroad in December 2019 I checked out the Manchester location which wasn't far from my hotel. Rare among craft beer taprooms in England, NM has a guest kitchen serving hot food like Lindsey's meatball sandwich there. On our visit they had a number of good hoppy ales on tap, along with a pastry stout and a couple of lagers. There were a handful of guest taps, and three cask engines were on. As a general principle, don't order cask ale at craft brewery taprooms in England -- it is not their strong suit and you will get better cask at pubs that know what to serve and how to handle it. That principle held mostly true on this pub crawl: we were usually disappointed in the cask offerings, here included.

One interesting recent development at Northern Monk is their commitment to make more non-alcoholic beers and hop waters. For example, the two smaller glasses in the picture here are the flagship hazy pale ale Faith at 5.4% -- delicious -- and Holy Faith at 0.5%. I didn't try A Little Faith (4.0%), but Holy Faith was a really good AF beer, one of the best I've tried. They use the Holy prefix on their alcohol-free beers.

Cloudwater Brewery

Cloudwater is one of the most respected craft brewers in the UK, so popular that you sometimes see it distributed in the US. The taproom atmosphere is pretty basic, but the tap list offers a lot of variety. There are a couple of cask engines (as I said above, probably not the best play) and 20 keg beers including a nitro tap and an AF IPA. Some pretty creative offerings when we visited -- I enjoyed the perry-barrel-aged saison, but I wasn't crazy about the hopfenweisse. Imperial Gose? I wonder what royal family needed sturdy export beer from Goslar. And of course plenty of hoppy offerings.

There is also a refrigerator full of cans from Cloudwater and guests, if the taps don't cover you. There's not a kitchen as such, but the £6 cheese plate was generous enough to power us on to three more bars that evening.

Track Brewing

Right across the street from Cloudwater is the taproom for Track Brewing (warning -- McAfee doesn't like this website, and in my desktop Chrome there is an annoying news popup that won't go away). On my previous visit it was even closer, since Track was renting the space underneath Cloudwater's taproom. It looks like they moved into their permanent location in mid-2021, and it's a spacious and comfortable industrial space that opens onto the brewhouse. Twenty kegs and two casks.

The beers at Track were my favorite of the crawl, and that is high praise indeed because Northern Monk and Cloudwater are nothing to sneeze at. That includes the cask ale we tried -- I wasn't taking good notes, so while I think it was the flagship Sonoma, it might have been the barrel-aged helles. It was the only craft cask that night that I thought was up to the mark. The staff on duty were unable to tell me if the "wet-hopped" pilsner was what is more correctly called "fresh-hopped", but I kind of doubt it. The local terminology is usually "green-hopped", and it didn't seem to have the fresh hop notes I would expect, though it was pleasant enough for a 7.2% monster. The smoked helles was tastefully done, and I loved the barrel-aged Vienna lager.

Sureshot Brewing

For the last decade or so, the Victorian-era brick railway arches behind Piccadilly station have provided cheap digs for a number of Manchester craft breweries. Track started in a railway arch, and relative newcomers Sureshot and Balance (see below) have made very pleasant taprooms under the arches. I really enjoyed our visit to Sureshot, but somehow I came away without a single photograph of the place, maybe because we struck up a conversation with a dapper young fellow who turned out to be a delegate to the Conservative Party convention that was taking place that week in Manchester.

"Hey, you're wearing a suit, are you with the Tories?"

[Looking around] "shh, shhhh. As a matter of fact, I am."

"Next round's on you!"

"Please turn your phone off."

The beer at Sureshot is not bad, but I would say it isn't yet up to the caliber of the other places on the crawl. Nevertheless, it is well worth a visit, because the place is fun, even when you are talking politics. Since I don't have a picture of the taproom, I can offer up a picture of the souvenir cans I went back and bought later. Clever packaging that someone put a lot of thought into. Pictured here are We'll Burn that Bridge when We Come to It Pale Ale, Let Me Tell You about My Mother DDH Pale Ale, I've Started so I'll Finish DDH IPA, and Double Dipped Chip Double IPA (not pictured: I Cannae Change the Laws of Physics American Pale Ale, with the image of Starfleet Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery Scott). Double Dipped Chip was a big hit when I sampled it out to Austin friends.

Balance Brewing & Blending

A few doors down from Sureshot is Balance Brewing & Blending, which is well worth a visit if you have any interest at all in sour beers. They've filled the back of their railway arch with barrels and foeders containing their mixed-culture concoctions. In the front is a laid-back tasting room, where the 6 taps have a combination of house and guest beers, all of the wild variety. When we were there, they had three of their own on, two tasty fruit beers from Crossover which is improbably located between Luton and Cambridge, and a nice table beer from Burning Sky, more believably situated just outside of Brighton. My favorite when we visited was Balance's Apricot Wild Ale, but if I remember right, Lindsey favored their Saison de Maison. I also liked one of the Crossover beers a lot -- I think it was the Raspberry-Plum one called Purple Bell, but it might have been the Cuckoo flavored with Cherry and Blackcurrant. They have some cans and bottles for sale to go, but they were out of my price range.

Twitter Archive Wrap-up

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Sun, 01 Jan 2023 23:52:00 +0000

The previous three posts have all my Twitter activity from 2008-9, 2010, and 2011. Not all of the tweets have to do with It's Pub Night or with beer, but the Twitter account is mostly an extension of the blog. It's not a place where I interact with family or work colleagues, and not very seriously with the few friends who are connected on Twitter.

This post has links to what I tweeted and analyzes when, who, where, and how I tweeted. The only unanswered question is WHY?

When I was actively blogging, I got very annoyed by blogs that were more about blogging than about their supposed subjects. I'm not sure how I would have reacted to these posts which just hash and rehash blogging and tweeting done years ago. In my defense, one reason I started a blog was to document the current moment, for the benefit of readers in the future, and this furthers that ideal. I will put the tweet archives for 2012-2022 on separate pages to keep them out of the blog post stream.

Here are all the posts and pages with the complete tweet history, up until late November 2022 when I requested the archive from Twitter.

It's been fun to look over the Twitter archive and remember what was happening 10-15 years ago. While extracting, timestamping, linkifying, and ordering the tweets, I gathered some statistics about them that may or may not be interesting.

Activity

I was never a very prolific tweeter, and it has really fallen off in recent years. The archive I downloaded contains 9230 total tweets. Here are the yearly totals:

2008: 25
2009: 797
2010: 1347
2011: 1847
2012: 1333
2013: 1092
2014: 723
2015: 307
2016: 357
2017: 526
2018: 342
2019: 141
2020: 157
2021: 146
2022: 89

You might attribute the recent dearth to the pandemic, but the downward trend began in 2012 and was obvious by 2014. Looking through the archive, there is a single tweet with the word "covid" in it, and that is a re-tweet of someone else. Mainly, Twitter became less fun as more politicians and celebrities joined, and as the company tweaked their algorithms in ways that disfavored quirky occasional posters like myself. There were fewer local fun people to interact with. I don't think we were shadowbanned, but the effect of the algorithms was the same.

1555 of the tweets seem to be retweets, though in the early days you might add RT to a piece of original art to pretend to have a conversation with someone like Barack Obama or your friend Wallace, like:

Friday July 25, 2014 05:02 PM
RT @BarackObama Thanks dude! RT @halfbipolar 9:15 RT @BarackObama Hey @halfbipolar What time does pillowfight play at the Hawthorne Theater?

Actually I can't remember if I started that or if Wallace did. Anyway, some of the statistics below could be skewed a little by retweets, though the big picture is accurate.

More pictures start appearing in tweets in mid-2012, and become more common as time goes on. There were pictures in tweets before then, but often had to be hosted on a different site like twitpic.

People

Another fun thing about this project was to look back at who the beer Twitter/Portland Twitter characters were at that time. Some are still active; some have lost interest or quit drinking; some I now realize I did not know at all and have no way to begin tracking them down. A few have passed away and are dearly missed.

In the early days you could make IRL friends that you first met on Twitter. I don't think that happens much anymore, thanks to the algorithms.

All told, I mentioned or replied to or retweeted 1131 unique user IDs. I mentioned my wife once, and each daughter three times. I wasn't connected on Twitter to any other family members, and absolutely no one at work. Here are the top people I tweeted to or mentioned in tweets:

SamuraiArtist: 589
Beervana: 268
jwall4: 144
AGSHender: 143
UrbanBeerHiker: 143
NewSchoolBeer: 136
JfwellsPDX: 122
itspubnight: 118
brewpublic: 115
HumuloneRed: 115
socialretard: 113
ConOat: 112
beerinator: 101
TracyTThomas: 95
turbodog: 92
SnobRitch: 91
Notteham: 83
bikeportland: 72
rojasburke: 71
TheBeermongers: 66

Man I miss UrbanBeerHiker. Though I did see him 4 years ago, about a year or so after he ditched Twitter.

Technology

At first most of my tweets were done via text message, which was actually a pretty common way to tweet back then, if you recall. I would also get text messages if someone mentioned me, or if selected people tweeted anything. It took a while before I sent a few pictures to Twitter via text message. Here are the various ways my tweets arrived on the platform:

Yoono (2010-2014): 3141
Twitter Web Client (2008-2018): 1922

Plus 19 tweets from Twitter "Mobile Web"
Plus 70 tweets from "Twitter Web App" -- how is this different?

54 of those are from 2022 after TweetCaster stopped working

TweetCaster for Android (2014-2022): 1832
Twitter SMS (2008-2015): 1505

Plus 98 "MMS" tweets (picture attached)
Also 3 text tweets while I was at a show at Dante's in 2016 (???)
Also 1 text tweet in 2018 from a plane on the runway in India

Echofon (2010-2011): 463
Twitpic (2010-2012): 81
Instagram (2017-2018): 43
Beermapping.com (2009-2011): 28
twitterfeed (2009-2010): 12

Supposed to automate tweeting of new blog posts, but more work than simply tweeting them myself.

Twitter for Android (2014, 2022): 6
Twitter for Websites (2011, 2013-2014): 6

About 17% of my tweets were via text message. Another 22% were typed into the Twitter webpage. In 2010 I discovered browser plugins that made reading and posting to Twitter better: first Echofon, then yoono. 40% of my tweets were with these plugins, and now I can't remember a thing about how I used them. In 2014 I got my first smartphone, and quickly discovered that third-party apps are much better than Twitter's own app: 1) no advertisements or promoted tweets; 2) they give you the tweets in order, not according to Twitter's stupid algorithms; 3) you can temporarily mute people or subjects. I used TweetCaster for about 20% of my tweets until it abruptly stopped working in 2022.

#Hashtags

I am not a great hashtagger. There are less than 500 hashtags in my tweets, and 158 were from trying to cross-post to Facebook without having to log onto it. Another 48 were from the #ontappdx days of Taplister, back when Twitter was about more than Twitter. Here are my top 20 hashtags:

fb: 158
OBF: 50
ontappdx: 48
PDX: 43
gabf: 41
freshhop: 38
craftbeer: 29
pdxbeer: 28

SBWF: 14
freshhops: 13
haf2011: 13
pdxbeergeeks: 10
hrhops12: 8
rimshot: 8
sampletraystunt: 8

Links

Below is the list of sites I linked to the most on Twitter. A lot of the links in my tweets are obscured by link shorteners. For this list, I replaced as many of them as possible with the true targets, though that is heavily skewed towards posts on its-pub-night.com itself. The pdx.be and nblo.gs shorteners are defunct, so those 63 links are not knowable. Some t.co and bit.ly links couldn't be found for some reason, or maybe they pointed to other t.co or bit.ly URLs (my process of tracing the links is not exhaustive). The twitter.com links are often modern quote tweets, not real interesting links. Still, the list gives you a pretty good picture of where I linked to:

twitter.com: 603
its-pub-night.com: 585
bmap.us: 311
twitpic.com: 146
newschoolbeer.com: 62

Preserving History

This exercise seems like a way to further the historical preservation goal mentioned at the beginning of this post. It also shows how fragile documents can be, even in the Internet age. For a while I used a link shortener called pdx.be, which seemed really cool because you could make custom links like "pdx.be/erReviewMaker", but it went offline at some point and took all the links with it. Even if a shortened link still exists, the website it points to may be gone, or may have reorganized their content. Some tinyurl.com links to new It's Pub Night posts now fail, though others succeed. Other information is lost when tweets are replies to someone else's tweet, but Twitter can't find the original. Everything can combine to leave tantalizing mysteries like:

Thursday October 15, 2009 10:40 AM
@rpFactotum That's awesome and too bad at the same time. Happened last night? http://bit.ly/3jzqAD

The username "@rpFactotum" is no longer valid on Twitter, the tweet being replied to can't be found, and the bit.ly link points to content that has vanished or been renamed. Wish I knew what this bad awesome thing was that happened the night of Oct. 14, 2009.

I fixed whatever broken links in these tweets pointed back into It's Pub Night. In terms of broken links in the blog itself, if you're lucky the Wayback Machine will have preserved the original links. For example, San Francisco vs. Portland from 2010 links to two paintings in the SFMOMA collection which are uniform gray rectangles, but now in 2023 the links are broken. The archived page at the Wayback Machine has links that correctly point to an archived version of the museum website, so you can see what I was carping about. With that in mind, here are snapshots of It's Pub Night for the busiest years, so that hopefully you could navigate to links which are broken today:

Just before I requested the archive in November 2022, and days before the new Twitter owner posted his infamous pair of polls, I posted my first Twitter poll. The text of the tweet is in the archive, but not the poll choices or results. Since the poll was about this anniversary, I'll put a picture of it here (sadly I got the anniversary date wrong). As a measure of how brutal the Twitter algorithms are, my poll only got 15 responses. I realize not all followers are real or active, and lots of people are discouraged by Twitter right now, but interaction from 1% of followers tells me I've been put on a shelf. I had to beg for some of the votes even.

2011: The Golden Age Ends

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Fri, 16 Dec 2022 06:45:00 +0000

To celebrate 15 years of It's Pub Night, I've been posting all my tweets from the early days, in forwards order. Below you will find all the tweets of 2011. Again, I hope they are not offensive in 2022. In case you missed them, these are links for the tweets from 2008-9 and 2010.

I wouldn't have guessed it at the time, but 2011 was the last real year of It's Pub Night, at least so far. I kept up a pace of 8 posts per month for the four years 2008-2011, which was probably the minimum to keep some kind of readership and search engine presence (there may be a different calculus now involving every social media platform).

One reason I started the blog was that in late 2007 there was very little interesting writing about beer in Portland. Yes, John Foyston had a weekly column in the Oregonian, and Jeff Alworth had already dedicated himself to going deep into the philosophy, history, and personalities of the beer world with Beervana. There was a blog-like thing called Guest on Tap which made me think "I can do better than that". Sorry to say that, since many of the contributors later became good friends, but Guest on Tap was really not worthy of what was happening in Portland and the Northwest at that time.

By 2012, things were different. Brewpublic and the New School covered the expanding beer scene much better than I could, with real dedication and zeal. At the same time, a new wave of citizen bloggers were documenting the zeitgeist in somewhat the same way I imagined that I did (still kicking ass: A Pint for Dionysus), so there was less need for my narcissistic antics. Facebook started to occupy more of the space the blogs used to. On a personal level I needed to dedicate less of my life to alcohol. So, It's Pub Night started to taper off, and I became the Charles Nelson Reilly of Portland Beer.

What are some cool things from 2011?

First It's Pub Night April Fools Post
First Fruit Beer Festival
The short-lived Mighty Mites Festival (those were the days)

Despite the looming decline of the blog, 2011 was my biggest Twitter year by 500 tweets, 1847 that year vs. the 1347 and 1333 logged in 2010 and 2012 respectively. 2013: 1092; 2014: 723. 2014-18 the total was in the 300's each year, except there were about 150 extra tweets in 2017 due to GABF and 3 work trips abroad which seemed tweet-worthy. 2019-2022: in the 100's each year. Here are the 2011 tweets in all their glory:

2010 Tweets

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 04:51:00 +0000

In observance of 15 years of It's Pub Night, and 16 years of Twitter, and the possible implosion of the latter, I downloaded all my micro-narcissism (HT @kscaldef) from that benighted cesspool. In a fit of nano-narcissism, I decided to post all of my early tweets here in the correct chronological order, instead of in the counter-clock order of the weird shave whiskers onto your face Philip K. Dick metaverse we live in now.

This post consists of the tweets from 2010. Hopefully none of them are too offensive; it was a different era.

2010 is squarely in the golden age of this blog. Here are some notable events from the world of Portland beer that year:

Openings:

January: New School Beer Blog
Feburary: Migration Brewing
March: Cheese Bar
April: Apex
June: Produce Row reboot
July: Coalition, Commons (née Beetje)
August: Hair of the Dog Tasting Room
October: Cascade Barrel House, 4-4-2, Bushwhacker
Don't remember the exact date: Mt. Tabor Brewing, Burnside Brewing, Gilgamesh

Other interesting stuff:

Attention! Dried Hops are NOT Fresh Hops
Roots closes
Please tip generously (surely it is $2/beer now, not $1)

Here are all the tweets from 2010. Click on a month to expand it. Some links are broken, but I tried to fix them where I could, especially the ones pointing into It's Pub Night itself. Click on the date to view a tweet in Twitter -- sometimes that lets you see conversations that were happening.

Wednesday February 03, 2010 09:12 AM

Wednesday February 03, 2010 09:35 AM
.@pdxcommute I'm flinching because you compared $613M/20 years to $630M/1 year. True non-Orwellian comparison is $613M vs. $12.6B. #pdxbikes

Wednesday February 03, 2010 09:42 AM

It's Pub Night: Early Tweets

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Sun, 04 Dec 2022 05:50:00 +0000

It's Pub Night has now been around for 15 years, since December of 2007.

Blogging was eventually eclipsed by social media, but in those early days there was a more symbiotic relationship between blogs and the nascent social media universe. The four big years of It's Pub Night, 2008-2011, coincided with the rise of Twitter and Facebook. Since Twitter looks like it might be tottering on the brink right now, I downloaded my personal data from there, and I'd like to share some of those early tweets with you as a way to celebrate 15 years of beer obsession.

Background

Twitter (founded 2006) was starting to catch on in 2007, and I joined in April of 2008. There were no celebrities, politicians, or likes. To "retweet", you had to cut and paste the tweet you wanted to quote, and fake retweets were an art form of their own. Tweets had to be 140 characters or less. A bunch of apps sprung up to make creative use of these short bursts of information. The only algorithm was "most recent tweet", and many a real-life friendship began on Twitter.

At some point Twitter realized there was no money in friendship or other peoples' apps, so they made it harder and harder to develop and maintain apps, and the platform was re-engineered to use your emotions to make money for other people. Looking at my old tweets, it's amazing to see how many Portland friends -- some good friends -- I first met online. That is largely gone now. I can't remember how many years it has been since that happened, and I suspect it is the same for all of you.

Let me also strike a blow for forward chronological order! It is something that has been destroyed by blogs, social media, smartphones, etc., and I think it is damaging everyone's brains to read everything in reverse order hundreds of times a day. Do not adjust your browser: these tweets go from oldest to newest. The times are Oregon time, even if tweeted from somewhere else. Click on the time to see the tweet in Twitter.

April - October 2008: Is this thing on?

I didn't understand Twitter at first. I thought I might only use it as a digital diary, for instance to remember when I got a particular bruise. My first 6 months, I only tweeted 12 times:

Isn't that cool? Here we are 14 years later, and Black Angels are on the radio with new stuff right now. My pub night friend Wade was working the soundboard; he never gave me the bootleg I wanted from that show.

December 2008 - January 2009: Friends!

That snowy December, I was surprised to get a tweet reply from Ezra, who was just an acquaintance then, but soon enough became a close friend. Twitter doesn't link to his reply, you have to take my word for it. The light bulb came on over my head, and I started to understand how to use Twitter to communicate with other beer-blogging kinds of people, Twitter-savvy businesses, and old college friends.

In these tweets, @TheBeerax is Jeff Alworth, who you now know as Mr. @Beervana. I started to announce blog posts, and I had various other schemes for connecting It's Pub Night with Twitter. The weird numbers like "|1133" on some of the tweets are location IDs on beermapping.com. Click them! (There are about 70 tweets for these two months -- scroll past them for a discussion of 2009 and the remaining 750 tweets of that year.)

February - December 2009: The Golden Era Begins

To be sure, there were excellent things on It's Pub Night in pre-Twitter 2008: the Sample Tray Stunt, the first complaint about dried "fresh" hops, auctioning an empty Abyss bottle, and other adventures. But the 2009 tweets bear witness to the beginning of a golden era. March: Beer Review Generator. June: Six-Pack Equivalent Calculator. September: Portland Beer Price Index (RIP). I'm really proud of the truly unique content I provided in those days. It's still available to you, decades later.

Gowanus Brooklyn Brewpub Crawl

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 15:50:00 +0000

Every year for the last 10 or so, Carla and I would say "Let's go to New York City this year". Somehow we never did, until recent events taught us that you shouldn't keep putting these things off. So we spent about 9 days in Brooklyn in October. It was only my second visit to New York, and the first was only for 36 hours in Manhattan about 30 years ago, so this was long overdue.

We had a great time. The vacation was not primarily a beer mission: we skipped many of the important Brooklyn beer stops; we only found a couple of worthwhile beer options in Manhattan; we didn't set foot in Queens or the Bronx, which have some interesting-looking breweries.

Even though beer wasn't the main focus, we did find a short and sweet Brooklyn pub crawl in the Gowanus neighborhood. All four pubs are open 7 days a week, which isn't true of a pub crawl in, say, Red Hook (as of October 2021 anyway). You can start the pub crawl at either end, but I put Threes Brewing first because it arguably has the best food options. It's also easier to leave at the Strong Rope end. The Union Street subway station is right there, as well as a couple of Citi Bike racks which are usually full of bikes you could leave on, but devoid of empty slots to park a bike in if you try to start at that end.

Threes Brewing

Threes Brewing is a comfortable and convivial pub with lots of distinct spaces. The main bar is cozy but has a surprising amount of seating, and there is more seating in a front vestibule near the food window. We didn't go upstairs because there was a private event, but there is also a sweet looking back patio.

The draft selection was diverse, with a number of lagers, a lovely dark mild called Little Did We Know, and an interesting barrel-aged tart table beer. Don't worry, they also had on the requisite half-dozen IPAs. If I had taken care to re-read Jeff Alworth's 2019 Brooklyn trip report I would have known to order the Vliet pilsner. Next time.

The food is handled by a pop-up called The Meat Hook, which serves burgers and other pub fare. There are a fair number of vegetarian options, despite the name. Threes does a good job canning their wares, and there is a large selection available to go. I also found their beers to be among the most affordable and widely available local beers in area grocery stores, so keep that option in mind.

Wild East Brewing

A couple blocks south of Threes is Wild East Brewing. It's a much smaller operation, but has the same ethos of brewing a wide variety of styles instead of dozens of IPAs. The picture shows the DDH anniversary IPA that Carla required, as well as an outstanding mixed-culture saison, and of course I couldn't not order the 3% dark mild. All of them were well-made and tasty.

The interior is a roomy, high-ceilinged warehouse, which gave it a much more open feel than most places in such a high-rent city. Like most places, it also had a nice chunk of outside seating along the curb. It was a really comfortable place to hang out, and I had a hard time elbowing Carla out the door for the next stops. I regret not taking more photos there; check their website for a better look. There were lots of outlets for recharging cell phones, and I think I remember some people bringing their dogs right in.

They don't serve food, but of course you can bring your own. They have a limited selection of beer to go, mostly fancy expensive things in bottles.

Finback Brewery

The next stop on our pub crawl was Finback, Like Wild East, it is an open, warehousey space, but I think the space is a work in progress. Some of the walls were still exposed particle board when we were there, and the lighting and seating were not altogether comfortable. Don't hold those things against it, because I suspect it will improve over time. The staff was very friendly and engaging. There was some outdoor seating also.

Finback was the most IPA-centric pub on this crawl, with 13 IPAs of varying strength and hop variety on tap. They get creative with the hops -- Belma or Lotus anyone? -- and we really enjoyed the flavors in the couple of IPAs we tried there. But the star for us that day was a beer called Another World -- a very unique witbier barrel-aged on yuzu and spices. As you might expect for something going into a barrel, it was a little stronger than your usual wit at 6.5%, but all the flavors blended well, and it was a great change of pace.

One of the IPAs also had yuzu in it, and that also worked well. They might have chosen yuzu to go with the gyoza and other Japanese snacks on the small plates menu.

Strong Rope Brewery

I suspect Strong Rope might be my most frequent hangout if I lived in the area. It has a slightly ramshackle, disorganized feel to the place, perfect for hanging out and chatting. The house style tends towards English pub ales, though they throw in a few saisons and I even had a smoked beer called Timber Phantoms -- too smoky for my taste actually, and that is something you'll rarely hear me say. The Pale Ale I chased it with was much more drinkable. They're not fools, of course there is also an IPA available.

Strong Rope's angle is that they brew only with New York-grown malt and hops. The lighter character of the local hops is one reason the beer styles skew Brittanic. It's a cool idea to use only local ingredients, and if the logical conclusion is lighter, easier-drinking beers, I'm all for it. There isn't a cask beer on full time, but they do celebrate Cask Fridays with a firkin on the counter. No kitchen, bring your own food.

Portland Beer Week Fresh Hop Seminar 2021

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Wed, 01 Sep 2021 04:45:00 +0000

I've spent a lot of time over the years obsessing about fresh hop beers, in fact fresh hops are the subject of the first post on the blog. So I was not going to miss this year's "Fresh Hop Seminar & Tasting" held at Zoiglhaus this past Saturday as part of this year's Portland Beer Week.

Participants listened to tales of fresh-hop glory and misadventures told by Zoiglhaus's Alan Taylor, Von Ebert's Sam Pecoraro, and Ex Novo's Ryan Buxton. We got tastes of a Tettnanger-hopped kölsch and an oktoberfest from Zoiglhaus, a Sterling-hopped pilsner from Von Ebert, and a Simcoe-hopped variant of Ex Novo's Eliot IPA. In recent years Fresh Hop Eliot has been one of the standouts of the season. This Simcoe one was the best fresh hop beer of the afternoon, and noticeably better than the Centennial-hopped Eliot I tried at Ex Novo a few days ago.

As a bonus/punishment, we also got to taste some unfermented fresh-hop wort that will be one of the next Zoiglhaus fresh hop offerings (an IPA if I remember correctly). Now, how the heck did fresh hops get into someone's wort? In the jargon being thrown about at the seminar, that is a "warm side" application of fresh hops, and I thought that everyone decided a long time ago that you get more out of your fresh hops on the "cold side".

That may indeed be true, but Alan has good reasons for choosing the warm side. At the most basic level, he is working with German-style hops like Tettnanger which are not grown in as great quantities in Oregon as big IPA hops like all the C hops or Simcoe or Strata. If you want fresh Citra hops, your supplier might tell you, "we're harvesting all next week, what day are you coming?". But if you want fresh Tettnanger, the farmer might call you at 10 AM and say "we looked at them this morning and it was time to bring them in, how soon can you get here?". Hence he is not able to have fermented beer ready for dry hopping, and it works better to throw the fresh hops into the wort.

That hop potion was intense -- most of us just had a quick sip, but at least one intrepid fellow at the seminar finished his entire two-ounce pour. Alan explained that most of the bitterness would go away after fermentation, after some byproduct of the yeast attached itself to the alpha acids and dropped to the bottom of the tank (there was a technical term for this that I forgot to write down).

Check out the fifty-pound bag of fresh hops in the picture above. Unforunately we weren't given the chance to roll around on it as though it was a big human catnip toy. But Ryan had a good story about checking four such bags onto a Southwestern Airlines flight in order to brew a fresh hop beer at the Albuquerque Ex Novo. Much cheaper than traditional shipping, and despite the size, they meet the weight limit for checked bags!

This seminar format is a refreshing change of pace for a beer event. A few years ago I had a great time at the Sour Blending Symposium (part of Portland Beer Week 2012). I was sad not to be able to make it to this year's Cask Beer Seminar. But I definitely recommend checking out any beer week seminars in the future.

Ten Years of It's Pub Night

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Tue, 05 Dec 2017 16:24:00 +0000

Well, time flies when you're having fun. This week marks the 10th anniversary of the first post on It's Pub Night -- fittingly, a rundown of fresh hop beers I had tried that year (thanks, Lee!). It's ridiculous to think this blog has lasted longer than Nirvana; thankfully Beervana: The Blog is still around and in fact something of a global phenomenon these days. Let us pause briefly to lament the demise of other PDX blogs from the last decade: The Beer Here, Portland Beer and Music, Beer Around Town, and others, even poor benighted Dr. Wort. Someone is still paying to keep the lights on at portlandbeer.org and the Champagne of Blogs -- maybe one day they will again grace us with their insights.

If the New School or Brewpublic had existed in 2007 I might never have bothered to start It's Pub Night, since they are filling the role that I thought was missing in Portland at the time, and doing it way better than I would be able to, even in my most perfect fantasy world. Meanwhile, there are still some plucky citizen bloggers who keep regularly putting out original content year after year, like Dan at A Pint for Dionysus and Kris at Beer Musings PDX, to name only two.

About seven years ago, Jeff commemorated the fifth anniversary of Beervana with a self-published book called the Best of Beervana. We now know his best was yet to come, but this wacky one-off is one of my prized possessions. I can't even approximate something like that (though you can get the Six-Pack Equivalent App for either iPhone or Android), but I'd like to mark today's milestone with a list of posts that show off the high points -- so far! -- of It's Pub Night. Enjoy.

It has been a blast getting to know the beer family in Oregon and beyond, and this hobby project has brought me a wonderful group of friends. I'm going to celebrate 10 years of It's Pub Night this Saturday, December 9, 2017, with an informal SE Portland pub crawl. If you happen to read this before then, feel free to come join us. It's not an organized event -- there's no swag, no collaboration beers, no discounts, and not much of a schedule. On the other hand, there are no wristbands, drink tokens, or entry fees. Here is the plan:

5-6:30 PM gather at Baerlic Brewing, 2235 SE 11th Ave.
Walk to Pacific Pie at 7th and Hawthorne, in remembrance of Roots, where It's Pub Night became a glimmer in my eye.

also pay respects to first Commons location
maybe eat something at Pacific if we want to.

Lucky Lab from 7-8:30 PM (another original pub night haunt).
Walk-by taunting of the ex-Green Dragon, which was also an early inspiration.

We might be tempted to stop in for a beer, maybe taunting is enough.

Base Camp Brewing from 9 - 9:45 PM
Burnside Brewing, arrive by 10 PM

Another homage to Roots.

The schedule is only a guideline; if you're joining us partway, track our progress on Twitter.

Vintage Fernet Branca Tasting... With Mr. Branca!

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Mon, 06 Nov 2017 15:49:00 +0000

Last month I was lucky enough to get the chance to taste some old bottles of Fernet Branca during a promotional event in Portland hosted by a sixth-generation member of the family business, Edoardo Branca. Mr. Branca pulled bottles of 1970's and 1980's Fernet from the company archives, so we could taste older versions of the liqueur alongside the modern product. (The rightmost bottle in the picture is actually an unopened antique bottle that someone else brought to the event.)

If you're not familiar with Fernet Branca, it is an inky, delightfully bitter-tasting herbal liqueur. Fairly sweet, you could simplistically describe Fernet's flavor as medicinal, but there is a lot more going on than that. There is a whole class of these digestive liqueurs that in Italy are called "amari" -- singular "amaro" -- which appropriately means "bitter". But the concept is not unique to Italy. I have been obsessed with these things since I first tasted Unicum during a trip to Hungary in 1990, then I found out about Gammel Dansk (Denmark) and Rigas Black Balsams (Latvia) before I made my way to amari like Fernet Branca.

Spirits don't benefit from aging in the bottle in the way that beer or wine do. The point of tasting the 30- and 40-year-old Fernets was to see the subtle variations over time, as ingredients and tastes change. Here were my impressions from the event:

1970's Fernet: Maybe stronger than today's 78 proof? Serious echinacea bitterness, but a very long finish, with flavors developing on the tongue long after swallowing.
1980's Fernet: More of a chocolate bitterness in this one. A little dusty in the beginning, with aromatic cedar notes.
2017 Fernet: Mintier, fresher tasting than the older ones. A little cola-like effervescence on the tongue.

Three cocktails containing Fernet Branca were also shown off at the event. Personally, I find that a little sacreligious. Here is a complex herbal recipe with 150 years of history, why are you burying its flavors under a bunch of other stuff? I asked Edoardo Branca about that, and he said reasonably enough that he doesn't object to someone drinking Fernet however they care to do it, though personally he prefers it either straight up or in a caffè corretto -- espresso with a shot of amaro in it.

He had a good story about his grandfather, Pierluigi Branca. That gentleman also disapproved of mixing Fernet Branca, and didn't hesitate to chastise anyone he saw adulterating it with anything. In 1955 or 1956, he happened to be in Cannes for the film festival, and in a hotel bar he overheard the revered opera singer Maria Callas as she ordered a Fernet Branca with sugar and mint added. As he shouted his disapproval at her, his wife (Edoarado's grandmother) started shouting back at him, "You don't behave like this!". Edoardo didn't say what Ms. Callas' reaction was, but family legend credits the encounter as the inspiration for the milder, mintier Branca Menta liqueur.

The cocktails we had that night did not do much to change my mind about the impropriety of diluting your Fernet. In the picture at left, the bartender is making a complicated drink called The Italian Icon, with Fernet, Carpano, rum, and egg white, cleverly finished off with a disk of rice paper bearing the Branca logo. It seemed like a lot of trouble, especially since hardly any herbal flavor at all remained in the finished product. Somewhat more to my liking was the Shakerato -- Fernet, cold brew coffee, coffee liqueur, and cream. The best cocktail served at the event was the Toronto -- basically a Manhattan with Fernet Branca instead of vermouth. The herbal liqueur played well with the bite of rye whisky. If you're interested, this article has the recipes for the Toronto, Shakerato, and a couple of other Fernet cocktails.

One more point about mixing Fernet. The biggest market for Fernet Branca outside of Italy is Argentina, where Fernet con Coca -- Fernet mixed with Coca-Cola -- is something like the national drink. That is also the only other country where the company produces Fernet Branca, and it is made a little stronger there, 86 proof instead of the 78 proof version made in Italy -- be sure and bring back a couple of bottles next time you find yourself in Buenos Aires.

Fernet Branca is aged in oak barrels for a year. Since breweries these days are always looking for unique barrels to age beer in, I asked Edoardo if they ever sold their used barrels to anyone to make funky beer with. He gave me a funny look and a curt "no". Later I realized that a lot of their aging is done in barrels as large as 17,000 liters, so it's not like the whisky model where a lot of small barrels are used once or twice and then passed on. No wonder he thought it was a strange question. I did enjoy a very interesting Odell Brewing Fernet-aged Porter a few years ago, but those barrels were from a Colorado distillery.

Here's another take on the Portland event, with a lot of nice photos. Many thanks to Edoardo Branca for visiting us in Portland. The vertical tasting was something I never would have expected to experience, and it was great to hear his personal insights about a classic drink.

Sample Tray Stunt 2017

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 14:08:00 +0000

One of the early hits here on It's Pub Night was 2008's Portland Sample Tray Marathon, where Dave and I got hall passes on Father's Day and sampled 78 or so beers that afternoon by biking around and getting the sample trays at 11 breweries. The goal was to only partake of beers brewed at the very places we visited.

Remember 2008? That year the Oregon Brewers Guild put out a press release (duly posted by portlandbeer.org -- where ya been, Matt?!?) touting the 32 microbreweries in Portland. So Dave and I were pretty proud to have visited 1/3 of them in one day. We didn't skip any along our path (Tugboat was closed), and we went to two Lucky Labs. Ah, those were the days, when we hadn't yet heard of Facebook. I had only joined Twitter two months before, and I thought since no one followed me on there I would mostly use it to make a note of times I bumped into things so that later I could figure out where I had gotten this or that bruise.

I've always wanted to repeat some variation of the sample tray stunt ("stunt" is a more fitting description than "marathon", though like a marathon it did require a certain amount of mental toughness). This year Dave and I finally resolved to take another stab at it. Like the original ride, it would be on Father's Day and we would only sample beers brewed on premises, but this time we would only visit places which had opened since our last adventure.

It wasn't difficult to pick new breweries, since OBG's 2017 press release counts 70 breweries in Portland, more than double the number in 2008. In fact, this time we would be skipping over a dozen breweries near the route, only a few of which had been on our original tour. On the other side of that coin: two of the original stunt's breweries -- Roots and Clinton Street -- had gone out of business, and the beer served at the Lompoc Tavern on 23rd is no longer brewed there. Here is a map of this year's route:

The other thing we did differently this time was to invite more people along. In fact, we opened it up to the public at large by adding it to the 2017 Pedalpalooza calendar. That could have gone spectacularly wrong if, say, 50 people showed up and we had to order 10 sample trays at every stop. As it happens, it's a very small Venn diagram of people who are free on Father's Day and want to take 7 hours to bike 7 miles while sipping beer from 100 tiny glasses. In the end, no one joined us that we didn't already know, so we could have skipped the Pedalpalooza bit entirely. You bike people don't know what you missed.

Our core group of six biker/tasters hit 8 breweries on a 10-mile ride over the course of 6 hours, sampling 93 beers, for a velocity of 15.5 Beers per Hour (BPH). Several of us made it to the 9th brewery to notch our 105th beer. Of the original 6, Tim and I got in 111 beers in 7.5 hours by tacking on Hair of the Dog, with an assist from Lindsey who had joined us at Baerlic. And though that sounds like a dangerous amount of drinking, let me say that 111 samples shared by 6 people is much more sensible than the 78 beers shared by Dave and me back in 2008.

Here is a diary of our exploits, including the beer at each place that got the most votes as the group favorite (which was rarely my personal favorite):

Ecliptic Brewing: 13 samples. Favorite: Lupulin Nebula IPA.
Ex Novo: 12 samples. Favorite: Best Budz Hazy Sour Pale (Great Notion collab).
Back Pedal: 8 samples. Favorite: Kumulus Chamomile IPA (Fat Heads collab).
Breakside NW: 7 samples. Favorite: (tie) Big Ern Texas Pilsner/Precious Snowflake DIPA.
PINTS: 10 samples. Favorite: Single Hop Pale (oops, forgot to note which hop it was).
Burnside: 19 samples. Favorite: Sweet Heat (!).
Commons: 12 samples. Favorite: Nocino Brady-barrel aged Pumpernickel Rye Saison.
Baerlic: 12 samples. Favorite: Fancy Umbrella Drink Guava Gose.
Grixsen: 12 samples. Favorite (difficult to choose something we liked here): IPA.
Hair of the Dog: 6 samples. Favorite: Peach Adam from the Wood.

What a thing of beauty, if I do say so myself. How cool is it that we went from the latest Breakside jam straight to PINTS, whose first head brewer Zach Beckwith conceived of it as the anti-Breakside? Not to mention the fact that as we sat at Breakside debating whether to hit PINTS or Fat Heads, our server chimed in to say what a hidden treasure he thought PINTS was. And though the Roots Brewing that we visited in 2008 is justly lamented, it was a delight to sample almost 20 beers at Jason McAdam's Burnside, which shines far brighter than Roots. Burnside's Sweet Heat -- which was the crowd favorite -- was born as Calypso at Roots, as their 2008 OBF entry. I can vividly remember the first few times I tried Calypso: it was so different, wonderful, refreshing, and complete. Another beautiful connection with the 2008 ride: the Full Sail beers we had at the harbor that year were brewed by John Harris, who struck out on his own in 2013 to start Ecliptic, which was a brilliant opener for us in 2017.

Thanks to my co-conspirators on this ride! Stay tuned for more excessive beer adventures.

Words of Wisdom from Fred Eckhardt

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Tue, 11 Aug 2015 04:49:00 +0000

Fred's nametag reads: "FRED. I am not an old drunk!"

At the 2011 Beer Bloggers Conference in Portland, Fred Eckhardt's brief talk was so chock full of humorous quotes that I jotted a bunch of them down, thinking I would make a blog post of them.

I never got around to it, and I probably hoped I would collect up some more and make a bigger post. But since we won't have any new witticisms from the great man after his passing this morning, I will release them to the world.

_______________________________

I would be a blogger, but I'm just so damn lazy.

I used to think to myself "If it's the water, why don't they do something about it?" (re: Olympia).

This is the third beer revolution, really it's a counter-revolution. First was when someone figured out to throw hops into beer; second was when the Germans figured out how to make a clear beer that you would drink from a glass instead of an opaque mug, the cold-fermented lager revolution. Third is when people decided they wanted more than just those clean lagers.

Lager is good, but after you've been drinking it for 50 years you start to want something else.

If you have to quit after the first beer, what's the point?

I wouldn't want to blame Belgium for that beer.

There I was, minding my own business...

It's great beer if it's in 2-liter mugs, I figure.

Just about everyone that knew which end of the bottle to pour beer from liked that beer.

There I was and there they were and there we were.

Once you start workin' they expect you to keep doing that for the rest of your life.

_______________________________

Rest in peace, Fred. Your work is done.

I don't care so much about style, but about what I like.

My palate isn't what it was last week.

Fa La La La La Vertical

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Mon, 17 Nov 2014 16:18:00 +0000

Executive Summary: Don't.

This past summer, I noticed a lonely bottle of Double Mountain's winter seasonal sitting unrefrigerated at a place where sometimes the stock doesn't rotate as quickly as you'd like. I bought it on a lark, partly to say I did, partly to complain about how seasonals are creeping earlier and earlier in the year (Deschutes actually released this year's Jubleale less than two months after I bought the Fa La La La La), and partly to set up this brilliant blog post about a vertical.

So Friday night at a neighborhood gathering, we did an informal vertical tasting of the 2013 Fa La La La La versus the 2014 Fa La La La La (I think the 2013 one is the fuzzier bottle in the picture).

First impressions of the 2013 Fa La La La La were good: oh yeah, that's the piney bruiser we were looking for. But then we tasted the fresh article from 2014, and there was simply no comparison -- the fresh bottle was approximately 100 times better than the old one. It had the same piney bitterness, but far more floral hop aroma and a much more pleasing flavor. Highly recommended this year.

Now, perhaps the old bottle would have held up better if it had been stored properly for the past year (it did spend 5 months in my refrigerator). But why risk it? Drink it fresh.

Hey, did Double Mountain stop re-filling their bottles? It was a noble idea, but I notice the deposit on them is only 5 cents these days, and the newer labels don't mention re-filling.

Portland Beer Price Index: Autumn 2014

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 15:30:00 +0000

Are you surprised to hear the price of beer is going up? The Portland Beer Price Index isn't. Here are the numbers I gathered around Portland on the equinox:

6-packs: $9.69, up 3 cents
22-ounce bombers: $5.58, down 4 cents
6-packs (sale price): $8.97, up 6 cents
22-ounce bombers (sale price): $5.21, down 2 cents
16 oz. draft: $4.64 up 3 cents
16 oz. draft (happy hour): $3.85, up 6 cents

It looks weird that the average bomber prices went down. It has to do with the strange gyrations of Hopworks IPA bomber prices, which have seemed almost random the last few months. The shelf price of that beer fell $2.50 at one place I survey. So that's the price drop.

Everything else is going up in price. $9 seems like a lot for a six-pack. I feel like I'm usually finding something I can stand under $8 (and a couple lucky $6 finds recently). But these are just the averages of a fixed set of Oregon beers.

Speaking of which, since Laurelwood Red is now a six-pack beer and no longer in bombers (hooray!), I replaced that bomber with Base Camp In-Tents IPL. (That change would also have changed last quarter's numbers, so the up/down numbers above are apples-to-apples as if Base Camp was in last time.) The only hiccup there is that QFC doesn't carry Base Camp right now, but it's a pretty popular supermarket beer these days so I hope they will figure it out pretty soon. Consult the PBPI configuration page for more information on the makeup of the index. See you in three months.

New Breweries in Bellingham

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Tue, 29 Jul 2014 14:58:00 +0000

A couple weeks ago we took a family vacation to Lake Whatcom outside of Bellingham, Washington. Beautiful quiet setting, clean water, and easy access to a cute little burg that the Urban Beer Hiker refers to as "Little Portland". (Click that link, by the way, it will do you good.)

I've always liked Bellingham, and Boundary Bay Brewery has always been there as a reliable place for a good beer. My lifestyle has become so sedentary that I hadn't visited the town since before the widely-acclaimed lager-centric Chuckanut Brewery opened there 6 years ago. So I knew I'd get some beer tourism done during our week at the lake.

What I didn't expect was to find that the two established breweries have recently been joined by some very talented upstarts. In fact, the beer was much more exciting at the new places than the old ones. Once-beloved Boundary Bay now seems overcrowded and overpriced, with indifferent beers -- I had a cask Pale Ale that was so tired it made everyone at the table yawn. A quick stop at Chuckanut found them with only 3 of their beers on tap: German Pils, Czech Pils, and IPA. They were decent enough, but as a tourist I was hoping for some special hometown magic. Maybe it's one of the hazards of focusing on long-gestation lagers.

_____________________________________________________

Enough grousing, let's talk about what was exciting in Bellingham. Top pick: Kulshan Brewing, which opened in 2012. Very solid lineup, and they do an especially nice job with lower-alcohol ales: Full 90 Session Ale and Dude Man Wheat had tons of flavor and clocked in below 5%. Good Ol' Boy Pale and Transporter were good choices below 5.5%. If you want something stronger, their flagship Bastard Kat IPA is right on the money for a West Coast IPA. The one blemish on our visit was the Double IPA (forgot the name), which tasted too solventy to me, though my wife didn't mind it.

Kulshan doesn't serve food, but they have a very spacious tasting room and patio, with a food cart parked out front, or you can bring your own food (the barbecue cart was pretty lame, in our opinion, and we were really hungry that day). Minors are allowed (in fact, they're allowed at all the pubs and tasting rooms in this post).

_____________________________________________________

Another surprising find was Wander Brewing, whose decor and repertoire reminded me a lot of Portland's Base Camp (a place I like more and more with each visit, by the way). Heck, even their chalkboard reminded me of Base Camp. I really enjoyed a couple of their rye beers -- a roggenbier and a rye IPA. And when the vacation ended and it was time to select a souvenir beer to fill my growler with, I didn't hesitate to fill up with Wander's Coffee Baltic Porter. Definitely a nice touch of java in there, but it's the thick, rich, stouty goodness that keeps you sipping on it.

Wander just opened this year, and they're located in what looks like an old shipbuilding warehouse with really high ceilings. The tasting room blends right into the brewery, with lots of hip reclaimed wood used in the furnishings. The tables have some weird sloping surfaces, so careful where you set that glass. There's a food cart outside one of the garage doors -- a different cart every day (cool idea).

_____________________________________________________

Another Bellingham brewery that just opened in 2014 is Aslan Brewing. Hold onto your hats, this one is an actual brewpub serving food from their own kitchen, including a passable waffle-fry poutine. The beer was all right here -- not as inspiring as Kulshan or Wander, but I would rate Aslan's beer, food, and atomsphere higher than Boundary Bay's based on our single visit to each this summer. One very cool offering: DNA -- Don's Non-Alcoholic Beer. I have always hoped to see some microbrewers to try their hands at N/A beers, so big ups to Aslan for actually taking the plunge. It was a dark, rich brew -- you can see it in the tall schooner behind the taster tray in the top photo -- that had that malt-o-meal flavor you get from Malta drinks, but not as intense. It wasn't so wonderful that I would drink it every day, but I might have one occasionally.

_____________________________________________________

Finally, there is a fairly new brewery (2013? 2012?) called Menace Brewing, just outside of Bellingham in Ferndale. We didn't make it out there, but they have a pub in Bellingham called The Local which serves a few Menace brews and others from around the area. We popped in to The Local (love the name) on a Saturday afternoon, and got some of the weirdest service ever. I hope it was just a bad day, but the icing on the cake was when we were leaving, trying to say a goodbye to our waitress, who steadfastly refused to look up from some small task like napkin sorting to meet our eyes. After standing there awkwardly for a few seconds, a grumpy bartender nearby finally gave a wordless wave and a grunt -- but it was kind of a back of the hand wave, more like "shoo" than "see ya".

Anyway, let's hope that was a fluke. The couple Menace beers we tried -- a stout and an IPA -- were all right, nothing wrong with them. The food at The Local had highs and lows -- we had a wonderful mixed-green salad, and the grown-up mac-and-cheese was decadent and fantastic. But the breakfast dishes were very lame -- flat bland waffles, flavorless home-fries, and something else I can't even remember.

Portland Beer Price Index, First Half of 2014

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Mon, 23 Jun 2014 14:52:00 +0000

What if they had a beer price index and nobody came? Apparently nothing, since I skipped reporting the PBPI for the spring quarter of 2014, and no one called me on it at all. I did gather the data for that quarter, so I can show you the ever-rising chart. My feelings aren't hurt, I went ahead and gathered the summer 2014 numbers, and now I'll report both at the same time. The chart is for bomber prices, partly because of the dramatic 30-cent jump last quarter. Here are the current numbers:

6-packs: $9.66, down 3 cents (Q1: -.01, Q2: -.02)
22-ounce bombers: $5.54, up 30 cents (Q1: +.30, Q2: -.00)
6-packs (sale price): $8.91, down 3 cents (Q1: +.12, Q2: -.15)
22-ounce bombers (sale price): $4.98, up 4 cents (Q1: -.09, Q2: +.13)
16 oz. draft: $4.61 up 9 cents
16 oz. draft (happy hour): $3.79, up 9 cents

It appears that Laurelwood Red is now only available in six-packs, so I have removed it from the bomber index (the numbers reflect apples-to-apples with the previous index). I think the replacement bomber will be Base Camp In Tents India Pale Lager, but I want to gather the numbers for one quarter before adding it in, to preserve apples-to-apples comparison with the previous quarter.

I also wonder if I will be able to keep Belmont Station in the retail index. They seem to be tweaking the six-pack selection, and I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped some of the old stalwarts that a boring price index depends on. I'm sure the changes allow a more interesting selection there, but it will sadden me to lose that data point (and hopefully I'll be able to find a replacement). The pub side of Belmont is better than ever, and it will continue to be in the pub price index.

The bomber non-sale price is way up, largely because Hopworks IPA has gone way up in price. Retailers (or wholesalers) seem to be trying to get people used to the new normal by offering discounted sale prices on it for now. The six-pack chart actually tapers off a little bit, mainly because of continued pressure on Terminal Gravity and Caldera, whose six-packs used to be relatively expensive but are starting to fall more in line with everyone else.

Check back in three months for the next installment of the index. More information on how the index is compiled is on the PBPI configuration page.

Upcoming Portland Beer Festivals

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:00:00 +0000

As the days grow longer and the weekends start filling up with Portland beer festivals, I thought it would be a good time to highlight some changes that are planned for a few upcoming festivals.

Spring Beer Fest

For some years now the spring festival held in the fluorescent glory of the Oregon Convention Center has been called the "Spring Beer and Wine Fest", but in 2014 the organizers have recognized that they have a much more diverse festival than just beer and wine. This year the festival has been rechristened the "Spring Beer Wine Mead Cider Braggot Vodka Gin Snack Condiment Tattoo Piercing and Home Improvement Festival" (italics theirs) to more accurately represent the range of exhibitors at the festival. I'm not sure why they left commas out of the name -- "Condiment Tattoo Piercing" all runs together for me -- but I guess saving 10 characters might help out on Twitter (hashtag: #SBWMCBVGSCTPHIF2014).

Beer-loving Portland Catholics have often complained about the festival's perennial Easter weekend scheduling. In an attempt to reach out to that demographic, this year's fest will add a Thursday night session featuring a screening of Mel Gibson's 2004 movie The Passion of the Christ with live Mystery Science Theater 3000-style commentary by a trio of comics who bill themselves as Cathloholics Anonymous. Not sure how well that will go over.

Spring Beer Wine [etc.] Fest: April 18-19, 2014, noon to 10 PM.

Portland Fruit Beer Festival

Photo credit: Draft Magazine

You've heard of a Kissing Booth, but how about a Rimming Booth? That's an exciting addition this June to the Portland Fruit Beer Festival: a special area of the festival where attendees can accessorize their pretty, hop-free beers by decorating the rims of their beer glasses with colorful slices of fruit or various sprinkles and additions that you'd be more likely to find in an ice cream shop than a taproom.

Festival founder (and Pub Night friend) Ezra Johnson-Greenough has never hesitated to take beer in unexpected new directions, whether brewing a chocolate and peanut butter stout, crafting beer cocktails, or in this case updating the "lemon your Widmer" idea. Rimming is a practice I first read about in this Draft Magazine article, and it sounds a little perverse at first, but I've heard it can be a very pleasurable experience. Apparently it is something young people do a lot of these days, especially as a way to add even more cookie and pie flavors to pumpkin beers. The Fruit Beer Fest's Rimming Booth will be set up between the dedicated cider taps and the children's face-painting station.

Portland Fruit Beer Festival: June 7-8, 2014. 11 AM to 9 PM Saturday, 11 to 6 Sunday.

Hopworks DriveToBeerFest

Although the date for Hopworks Brewery's fall festival hasn't been set in stone yet, some major changes in the theme are in store for the 6th annual event. Instead of the bicycle-centric BikeToBeerFest of the last several years, this year Hopworks is holding a DriveToBeerFest. It sounds like an off note to the Portland ear, but it makes sense on at least two levels. For one thing, in a more competitive craft beer market, suburban beer lovers are a market that Hopworks wants to cater to by demonstrating that driving to a beer festival is just as cool as biking to one.

On a more practical level, you may have noticed how crowded BikeToBeerFest has been the last couple of years. The more the merrier, up to a point, but lately the crowds have been so large at the festival that Hopworks is ready to dial it down a little. One very natural way to limit attendance is to encourage less efficient modes of transportation, so that fewer people are able to attend. With that in mind, instead of setting up hundreds of bike racks for people to park at, attendees will be encouraged to drive their cars to the festival, preferably with each person arriving in their own car (they call it "designated driving"). In a partly symbolic, partly utilitarian measure, the dozen or so bike racks in front of the pub will be removed during the weekend of the festival to make room for a single parking space. Watch this space for more information on the dates and times for this exciting festival.

__________________________________________________

Of course, there are a couple of other minor festivals happening between all these events, but I wanted to keep you abreast of the exciting innovations that are coming up.

Protip: Sierra Nevada Ovila Quad is on the Shelves

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Fri, 21 Mar 2014 21:48:00 +0000

I have been one to bash Sierra Nevada Brewing, for their recent corporate tax dodge, and for shamelessly passing off all-dried-hop beers as "Fresh Hop Ales" (again and again and again). That doesn't prevent me from being a huge fan of many of their beers. And as an inveterate cheapskate, I find that some of their high-end beers are sold at very sensible prices compared to their peers.

Case in point, Sierra Nevada Ovila Quad brewed with plums, on the shelf now in corked 375ml bottles for about $4. I picked up a couple last year in a grocery store almost by accident, and then was heartsick a couple days later when I couldn't find any more for sale anywhere in town. But I saw them on the shelf today, grabbed six of them, and then decided to share the love with you, dear readers.

If you like a good Belgian quad, you'll want to try this beer, it hits all the bases (flowery Belgian yeasts, dark plummy richness, and a nice alcohol burn). The corked bottle argues against cellaring, but if this year's vintage is anything like last year's, it's good to go right now. Act fast, it's an occasional seasonal, and they'll go fast at that price.

Alphabet of New Oregon Breweries

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:31:00 +0000

The other day Dave invited me over to help out with a growler of delicious Omegatex IPA he'd brought back from a visit to Fort George. "We also checked out this new brewpub in Astoria called Buoy." In my Omegatex-addled bliss I was hearing that as "Bowie", like how Texans pronounce "Bowie knife", or how George Clinton pronounces "David Bowie" at about 3:00 in Make My Funk the P. Funk, until he showed me the logo with an ocean buoy on it. I used to be so good at keeping up with new breweries, but I had never heard of this one.

A couple days later I was reading about the OBG's Malt Ball, which included a beer from another Oregon brewery I had never heard of: Claim 52 in Eugene. It made me think that there is almost an A-Z of Oregon breweries that are so new that I haven't tried their beer yet. That's a bit of a stretch, but let's try and come up with an alphabet of Oregon breweries that have opened in... oh, the last three years (so that we can at least get through the letter G).

I'll get it started, please help me out with the rest, since I'm obviously no longer keeping up with current events, or even past events [Thanks to commenters for J-O, R-U. And for telling us that apparently Yachats and Zigzag are on the way!]:

Wow, that list is very Eugene-heavy. Is Eugene the next Bend? Is Ninkasi the beer that made Eugene famous?

One-day only special: If you happen to be reading this today, March 13, 2014, you can meet the brewers from letters A and P tonight at the White Owl Social Club (SE 8th and Main Street, just down the street from my house).

Portland Beer Price Index: Winter 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Wed, 01 Jan 2014 06:22:00 +0000

As predicted by a couple of industry followers of the Portland Beer Price Index (PBPI), beer got more expensive in Portland this quarter. It's a pretty big leap, with less generous sale prices accompanying higher shelf-tag prices. There's no clear external driver for this -- I think you can thank Oregon's three-tier system for allowing price fixing by the distributors for this.

Here are the Portland Beer Price Index numbers for the winter quarter of 2013:

6-packs: $9.69, up 19 cents
22-ounce bombers: $5.29, up 7 cents
6-packs (sale price): $8.94, up 29 cents
22-ounce bombers (sale price): $4.93, up 11 cents
16 oz. draft: $4.52 unchanged
16 oz. draft (happy hour): $3.70, up 5 cents

Last quarter, someone commented that beer prices in Oregon are significantly higher than prices in other states... for Oregon beer. This despite the relatively low level of taxation in Oregon. The most likely explanation for this disparity is price fixing by the wholesalers.

I have to admit, I get out less and less often these days. The pub prices may be a little out of date, and may get revised (upward) as I make it around to the pubs in the index.

If you require more information on the makeup of the PBPI, read the page which describes the composition of the index. Check back in March to see the first numbers of 2014.

Fresh Hop Rankings 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Thu, 03 Oct 2013 14:48:00 +0000

Each year I sort the fresh hop beers I've tried into 4 tiers: 1. those that are very special, brilliant examples of why we love this time of year; 2. those that capture the green fresh hop flavor nicely but are not quite as exciting as the first group; 3. beers that don't really show fresh hop character, but are tasty nonetheless; and 4. beers to avoid for one reason or another.

Within the tiers, I try to rank them approximately in order of how well I liked the beer, though with so many -- 44 so far -- I might switch the order of any two or three beers on any given day. That also means that I might actually like some of the top beers in tier 3 better than the bottom beers in tier 2. I would have liked to put 12 beers in the Must Try category, but that seemed ridiculous, so I chopped it at 5. Of course it's just one man's opinion, and your mileage may vary. For reference, here's last year's list.

About half the beers on the list are ones I tasted at the Hood River Hops Fest this past Saturday. Don't forget, the Portland Fresh Hops Festival is at Oaks Park this Friday and Saturday, October 4th and 5th, 2013. Enjoy!

Must Try:

Deschutes Fresh-Hopped Mirror Pond
Laurelwood Fresh-Hopped Free Range Red
Gigantic F'n Legit Fresh Hop
Solera Chubby Bunny
Double Mountain Killer Green

Good Fresh Hop Flavor:

Ninkasi Total Crystallation
Oakshire Bout a Hunerd
Barley Brown's Fresh Hop Pallet Jack
Deschutes Hop Trip
Burnside Prime Meridian
Big Horse Strictly Rude #6
Breakside If It's Wet and Not Yours, Don't Touch It
Bridgeport Hop Harvest
Double Mountain Killer Red
Hopworks Powell Estate Fresh Hop
Lucky Labrador The Mutt
Deschutes Fresh Hop Crystal Cream Ale
Widmer Bring The Broom
Worthy Fresh Hop Session
Laurelwood Shane's Pale
Coalition Green Pig
Ninkasi Hop Fraiche
Deschutes Fresh Hop Pine Drops
Social Kitchen Wet Hop American Summer
McMenamin's Thundercone

Commons Fresh Hop Myrtle
Stickmen Fresh Hop Cascade SMaSH
Old Town Brewing Cents and Centsability Fresh Hop Pale
Base Camp Hopularity Contest

Avoid:

10 Barrel Goodin' Fresh -- diacetyl at Hood River

Portland Beer Price Index: Autumn 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:38:00 +0000

Kind of a quiet installment of the Portland Beer Price Index (PBPI). Prices are all within a nickel of last quarter's prices (after adjusting for a change I made to the stores in the index). Sale prices were slightly less generous than in the summer, though the shelf-tag price on six-packs went down slightly. An insider that frequents these posts hints that we are going to see a serious price rise next quarter -- I'm not looking forward to that, but it won't be a big surprise. You can see from the graph that there was a big jump in Q4 of 2011 that sort of set the level for our current prices.

Here are the Portland Beer Price Index numbers for the autumn quarter of 2013:

6-packs: $9.50, down 3 cents
22-ounce bombers: $5.22, up 5 cents
6-packs (sale price): $8.65, up 2 cents
22-ounce bombers (sale price): $4.82, up 2 cents
16 oz. draft: $4.52 unchanged
16 oz. draft (happy hour): $3.65, unchanged

I made a switch this quarter, and subbed in the Hawthorne Safeway for the Division New Seasons. Not finding HUB IPA bombers at New Seasons was the final straw for me. A few years ago their beer selection seemed amazing for a grocery store, but nowadays it is a little sparse. Still a good selection, for sure, but other stores have expanded their beer space, whereas New Seasons has shrunk theirs a little by trying to add in a bunch of ciders. The switch was pretty smooth, since I actually gathered the Safeway prices last quarter, so I was able to make an apples-to-apples comparison against the same bucket of data. If you try to compare the actual numbers reported last time, it looks like the non-sale prices are way up this time, but the sale prices aren't so different. That may be because New Seasons touts an "Everyday Low Price" on a lot of common beers, instead of pulling the usual grocery store stunt of showing an inflated shelf price that is marked down every day of the year.

Help Keep the Portland Growler Price Map Up-to-Date!

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 17:56:00 +0000

The Portland Growler Price Map has been touted in the sidebar of It's Pub Night for years. Personally, I haven't been taking home that many growlers recently, so the map is woefully -- ridiculously -- out of date. Therefore, I'm going to ask for your help to start whipping it back into shape, so that it becomes a useful resource again.

View Larger Map

Considering the great upswing in interest in growlers lately, this map really needs a reboot. In the past year we have seen places open up which focus heavily on growlers -- the Tin Bucket, the Imperial Bottleshop -- and even grocery stores like Zupan's and Local Choice are getting in on the act. Heck, one of the best growler deals in town right now is at a convenience store -- the 39th Mini Mart on Cesar Chavez has $10 fills and a fairly interesting selection of 12 taps. As I write this, none of those places have yet been added to the map. Not even fairly well established breweries like Gigantic or the Commons are on the map. It's embarrassing.

Here is my plea for your help. Would your business like its growler offerings to show up on the map? Email me the details (see below). Are you a beer fanatic who is always coming home with a growler or two? Next time you have a growler filled, take some notes and send them to me (see below). Are you an insanely dedicated growler aficionado, who knows how to update a Google Map, who would like access to the map, so you don't even have to go through me to update it? Please email me, I'd love to hear from you.

Details

When the map first came out, I would get comments on the blog like "I think Amnesia has growlers for $13 or $14, but I don't remember exactly, can you add that to the map?" Short answer: NO. I need at least the following information before I can add your information to the map:

Price (range) to fill 64 ounce growler.
Price to buy the growler itself (if available).
Whether they'll only fill their own labeled growler.
Whether they'll fill 2-quart mason jars.
The date of your information.
Special sale prices or happy hours (if any).

The growler price map was one of the first cool things that happened on this blog, and it spawned a couple of even better ideas like the Six-Pack Equivalent Calculator and the Portland Beer Price Index. It's too bad I let it fall into such disrepair. I hope to recapture some of the glory days with your help. Thanks in advance!

First Thoughts on OBF 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Thu, 25 Jul 2013 15:00:00 +0000

There you go, that's the Beard that made Newport famous.

Rogue's Beard Beer is something you should plunk down a dollar for at the 2013 Oregon Brewers Festival, not because it's good, but so that for the rest of your life you can tell people you drank beer made from some guy's beard. It reminds me a little of a bread-yeast homebrew someone gave me a few years ago.

On the other hand, there are some beers that you should try just because they are delicious. These are some beers I really liked from the dozen or so I tried yesterday:

Stone Delicious IPA: you can taste the hop pollen in this one; huge body and huge tropical-fruit hops
Boulder Pump up the Jam: a refreshing wheat beer; mild blueberries match well with the wheat
Speakeasy Tallulah: an Extra Pale Ale, light bodied with lovely flowery hops; around here it would probably get labeled an India Session Ale
Collaborator Smoked Helles: this year's Oregon Brew Crew/Widmer collaboration is a solid Helles (a little strong at 5.9%) with just the right touch of smoke
Gigantic & Juice: a "beermosa" (the second I've had this year) with additions of grapefruit, pineapple, and tangerine juice; don't worry, the juice is pretty light, playing a little citrus off the hops
Mt. Shasta Skip and Go Naked: if you like the Boulder blueberry beer, this strawberry-ginger hefeweizen is along the same lines, refreshing with a nice touch of fruit

[Update 2013/07/26: Here are some new picks from more "research" on Friday. I let my IPA lust loose:

Oakshire OBF 26: floral notes, refreshing for its 7% size, must be hoppier than the listed 26 IBUs
Heathen Transgression IPA: solid, chewy tongue-scraper with hints of orange (newish Vancouver, WA brewery)
Ft. George Hop Contract: another citrusy IPA, well done
Vertigo Key Lime Tropical Blonde: nice thirst quencher, esters and key lime, kind of a coconut flavor in there somewhere

]

Perhaps it's a sign of the times that half of my picks have fruit additions. Jeff Alworth pointed out that this year there are more fruit beers at OBF than IPAs - surely that has never happened before. Pretty soon we won't need a special festival just for fruit beers. Another interesting thing is that there are 3 Dortmunder-style lagers at the festival -- not a super common style. In my opinion, Occidental's crisp and tasty Dortmunder barely edged out Breakside's slightly richer entry as the best in the lot; you could also try Old Town Brewing's version, but it was not in the same league as the other two. (Speaking of Old Town, their pizza place at 226 NW Davis is just a short walk from the OBF if you need a break from the crowds; I've been happy with several of their house beers.)

So far I haven't had any beers I would definitely avoid. Watch this space for updates. [Update 2013/07/26: After Friday's visit, I have some beers I recommend avoiding. Fire Mountain Bogart IPA: malt syrupy, not good. Wild River Kolsch: one friend described the flavor as "spoiled milk". Hales Double Pale Ale: a sweet mess, none of the flavors go well together.]

Much has been made of the change in glassware this year. Happily, it's glass for the first time, instead of plastic. However, the glass only holds 12 ounces as opposed to 14 in years past, and the sample size has gone from 4 ounces down to 3. There was a lot of hand-wringing before the festival about that small sample, but honestly it was big enough for me to get a good idea of the beer. The one thing I will say is, given the small size, the pourers could at least make sure they get your pour to the line. Apparently they've been trained to err on the side of smaller pours, and about half the time I had to ask for a top-up. Come on, guys, if the liquid is half a finger over the line, it's not going to break the bank.

I'll try to update with more picks and possibly some pans after my foray today. Meanwhile, NO WOO-OOO-OOO-ing!

Portland Beer Price Index: Summer 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Bill Night) — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 15:18:00 +0000

This quarter's installment of the Portland Beer Price Index (PBPI) won't surprise anyone. Prices in every category are up, in some cases by quite a bit. The graph on the left isn't very dramatic, I admit, since it's on a scale of $0 to $16. But I wanted to shake things up a bit by giving you a graphic representation of the price difference between six-packs (in orange) and the six-pack equivalent (SPE) price of 22-ounce bombers (in blue). If you want the detailed numbers, click on the graph to see a larger version, but the small graph nicely illustrates the bomber price penalty -- about 80% right now. The average bomber in town is priced like a $15.66 six-pack, when it's on sale. Regular price is now like a $16.36 six-pack.

Here are the Portland Beer Price Index numbers for the summer quarter of 2013:

6-packs: $9.37, up 21 cents
22-ounce bombers: $5.00, up 12 cents
6-packs (sale price): $8.72, up 11 cents
22-ounce bombers (sale price): $4.78, up 7 cents
16 oz. draft: $4.52 up 5 cents
16 oz. draft (happy hour): $3.65, up 6 cents

This is the 16th installment of the PBPI (though only the 15th counting the more useful sale/happy hour prices). For the 4th edition (2010Q2), I dropped the Hawthorne Safeway because it didn't have any of the bombers I was indexing. I knew the beer selection was better there since the store was remodeled over a year ago, but it didn't occur to me until the other day that they carry all the beers in the index now! It's always been a struggle to keep a full slate of stores that carry all the beers, so I will happily add them back in to the index next quarter. It also gives me the option of dropping New Seasons -- something I never thought I'd say -- since they are now the only store I canvass that doesn't carry any Rogue bombers.

If you require more information on the makeup of the PBPI, read the page which describes the composition of the index. Check back three months from now for the autumn numbers, and meanwhile spread the word about the bomber price penalty.
