As a practical matter, it hasn't in the past: my opinion carries very little weight.

I think that 3 or 4 years ago they were well appreciated. Since then many other breweries have opened and stolen some spotlight, they closed the original brewery and the 23rd St. locations, and they opened up a spot somewhere across the Columbia. All of those factors take away from the PortlandHarrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-51942905069887851282011-03-09T12:26:40.906-08:002011-03-09T12:26:40.906-08:00Jeff, not that I know a ton about this nor is it p...Jeff, not that I know a ton about this nor is it probably really important, but isn't putting the poll in with the article about Laurelwood going to skew the poll towards Laurelwood?<br /><br />Just curious.<br />KDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-14866313744782599712011-03-09T09:54:09.038-08:002011-03-09T09:54:09.038-08:00...and a gold and bronze at the 2009 GABF, and ano......and a gold and bronze at the 2009 GABF, and another bronze at the 2010 GABF.

Basically their whole line-up ranges from B+ to A-, with some A's included.<br /><br />I liked it even before I had kids, but now that I do, it's the easiest place to go.

I almost stopped in Friday in the middle of my birthday beer century since I was at the Bike Gallery there.
