Mt. Hood Brewing


A quick morning of snowboarding, some good beer (Ice Axe), and a few runs on the alpine slide. Happy Birthday to me!

Widmer Gasthaus

After a week of work, it's nice to go out and treat yourself
sometimes. Tonight I finally made it to Widmer, only to find that
they won't pour taster trays Friday and Saturday!

Instead, I chose to get a "taste" of the Ressurection Rye, Alt, and
the Albina Street Amber. The rye is a golden color, very mellow,
slightly spicy.

The Alt is my favorite of the three, extremely assertive, the malt
only revealed as an aftertaste. Very clean.

Albina is gentle by comparison, redder in color, well balanced and
complex, but quite restrained. A civilized brew.

For the finale I picked Old Embalmer to accompany a salad and burger;
it's a brew I've only tasted from a bottle until now. All I can say
is it is even better on tap. Ciao!
