A monsoon of winter beers is upon us. In the last 10 days we've received over 30 new beers, and a bunch of elusive favorites have returned.
Sadly, I don't have time to do full write-ups and links for all of these, but Google and Ratebeer work well enough that if you see something on the list that you're curious about it should be easy to find. As always, feel free to give us a call at 503.232.8538 if you have questions about anything else beer-related.

Last but not least, a quick note about our
Beer List page. I've been working diligently to keep it up to date lately, and you'll notice that there's now a blurb at the top of the page showing when it was last updated. I also spent more time than I'd care to think about implementing some simple javascript that will allow you to sort the (formerly static) table and re-organize it by brewery name, state/country of origin, or beer style. Hopefully this proves useful to people, I'd hate to think I spent all afternoon working on it for nothing but my own edification.
