Oh great, as we come down to the wire, Portland and Asheville are just about tied again in the pernicious "BeerCity USA" poll. I'm beginning to think my influence is not all that: didn't I tell you to vote for San Francisco? At this point, San Diego, the third-place city at 5.5%, may be the way to go. Portland now trails Asheville by just .6%.
Update, 6:36 pm: Portland 34.4, Asheville 34.5. Aiiiieeee!
Update, 12:12 am: Portland 35.2%, Asheville, 34.2%. Ah, what the hell, I've just been to a beer dinner at Wildwood, featuring Pelican beers. We are the best. Say it loud, say it proud!
Update, 10:00 am, Saturday: Portland 34.9%, Asheville 35.3%.
Update, 12:37 pm, Sunday: A spooked Ashville rallies: Portland 34.5%, Asheville 38.3%.
Final Update, 9:09 am, Monday: the poll is closed, and Asheville has run up the score, 39.9% to Portland's 34.1%.
I refuse to dignify that silly poll with a vote. Apparently the only people that care about it are in Portland or Asheville, otherwise a larger population center would be walking away with it, say Boston or Chicago.
ReplyDeletePortland is now up by 0.2% :(
