Rogue Ales Public House ~ Portland International Airport, Concourse D
"It was 8am and I could hardly see straight (I'm not a morning person). Stumbling towards my gate in the D concourse, my eye was caught by the luminous beacon in the distance that was the Rogue Brewery Pub. Dragging along my unsuspecting companion, I felt immediate rejuvenation with simple expectation of what was to come. Saddling up to the bar, the resident wench inquired to my libation preference. "Bloody, Stat."
"Double for $3 extra?"
"Pope shit in the woods?"
And it was on. Good bloody. Appropriate ratios of horseradish to worcestershire sauce. My only discontent was fuel by my disdain for the garnish that included 3 devil fruit, aka, olives.
As I sipped away, I found myself reading of the new seasonal offerings from Rogue. Be it now 8:30am, I felt comfortable ordering up a few brewskies. Double Dead Guy was the one for me. I have grown fond of the original over the years and thought double the Dead, double the fun, so let's roll the dice. I shit you not when I say this was the best damn beer I ever had at an airport. I ordered a pint and the wench told me "no". They only served this badboy in 10oz glasses as it packs a 9.8% punch.
"I'll take 3".

Laurelwood Brewing Co. 1 ~ Portland International Airport, Concourse A
"A great stop for that one last sip of NW micros. If only more airports featured local breweries. What a great memory of Oregon...sooo much beer, so little time."
