A Portland landmark is celebrating 40 years. In 1974, Richard Nixon told the country "I've never been a quitter" on national TV as he fled the White House. As if re-balancing the scales of wholesomeness, Old Town Pizza opened that same year in Portland. It has been through a lot in those four decades--haven't we all?--but is now a vibrant new pizzeria and brewpub. Last week, owner Adam Milne invited me to check out their modern NE Portland outpost. That's where they do the brewing under the oversight of one of my favorite brewers, Bolt Minister, and also where I got to meet Madi the Piemaster.
This is a placeholder post until I can give you the full story. Old Town is celebrating their major milestone now, so go celebrate with them. The old site remains one of the more interesting places in the city (even without considering Nina,
the resident ghost), and if you haven't been to the pub out on MLK, it's really worth a visit. More in a few weeks' time, but for now--cheers to Old Town.
