It would be good to note that Oregon has more good breweries than Germany. Most of those quality breweries are in Portland. McMinimans is especially reccomended by me. I am told they also have good wine, from their own grapes and they are now offering products from their distillery. And the food is great!Other good brews are produced by Portland brewing, and Widmer Bros. Full Sail and Dark Horse are worth a side trip to Hood River, about 60 miles away.
