Not every brewery can multiply and grow at such an exponential rate as they have in the last 10 years.. it will slow down...DOSiRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406354869646971733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-58682655680181210172009-07-08T14:25:45.232-07:002009-07-08T14:25:45.232-07:00According to Darron at Pelican, a lot of his summe...According to Darron at Pelican, a lot of his summer wait staff are college kids. When you figure 20+% tip on their prices, they must make a good payday. I have no qualms about the service there. I do think their prices are too steep. But if people are willing to pay that more power to them. I know that if I lived out on the coast, I would not be able to drink their beer often and definitely not Angelo De Ieso IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12924074136432149767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-81172086222904037772009-07-08T09:38:50.657-07:002009-07-08T09:38:50.657-07:00"Agreed... they are trying to go from little ..."Agreed... they are trying to go from little guy to macro is a couple years flat..."<br /><br />I'm not sure what you mean here, a couple years back they had to stop sending kegs over to Portland because they couldn't keep up with demand at the brewery.

The reason Darron wrote this bill was because he couldn't decide where his beer was distributed--hence why you don't see it in Portland much. The distribution company was the one deciding where it was sold. This bill will help all the smaller breweries decide where their beer gets distributed. Hopefully that answers your question Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425654983633412986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-87353471527844386112009-07-08T09:01:10.164-07:002009-07-08T09:01:10.164-07:00I thought the pricing at Hopworks was fair, and th...I thought the pricing at Hopworks was fair, and they actually serve true full pints.. plus their beer is really good.

I'm friends with some dorymen, and never find myself visiting either Pelican, or any of the other more touristy shops when we're there. The dorymen just aren't crazy about them since between surfers and families they've practicly lost their launch points. My loyalty to the dory fleet overrides my love of breweries.
