Last week, my BF and I visited the great state of Oregon. Oregon is in short....AMAZING!
Our friend planned a rafting trip in Maupin, OR, and having always heard such wonderful things about Portland, we decided to make a big trip out of it and visit Portland before heading over to Maupin, OR. Downtown Portland is very walkable, the city is condensed enough that you can pretty much walk the whole downtown in just a couple hours. Like most cities, most people work downtown and the majority of the Portlanders live outside of the city, and those neighborhoods are super cute as well. It is pretty similar how the city of Chicago is structured, except a lot smaller and condensed.
Portland is an awesome city, and if you love beer and wine, this place is the place for you! Portland has a plethora of micro breweries, each with their own beer and distinctive personalities. My BF and I decided to do our own microbrewery tour, which just meant in one afternoon, we took it upon ourselves to go to every microbrewery in the city and check out their beers. We went to three breweries: Bridgeport, Rouge, and Deschutes. Each brewery had their own sample platter which consisted anywhere from 6-8 four ounce samples of their beers.

| This is from Rogue brewery, which was our favorite brewery in Portland. |

| This six sampler is from Deschutes. |

| This is from Full Sail. This was actually in Hood River, a hour away from Portland. We went to Hood River after our rafting trip and stayed with our friend's parents who were the best hosts ever! |
I don't have a picture from Bridgeport because we got large pretzels and dip, and I got distracted by the food. Go figure huh?
Ben loves Rogue beer! The hazelnut brown is his absolute favorite beer. I'll have to tell him it was your favorite microbrewery there.
