It's a lot more than just breweries. By those standards, no city I've been to even comes close.<br /><br />At any given time, I submit that you can find more local, national, and international beer in Portland (at grocery stores, bottle shops and on tap) than in any city in the country.

I agree with you in that a lot of my favorite breweries aren't in PDX, in-fact there are very few in PDX that really excite me.

Especially since many of my favorite beers no longer come from there. If Portlands great beer culture comes from it's pubs then I wouldn't know where it ranks. I'm not a huge fan of Portland so don't go up often.
