Portland and the NY Times need to get a room.

Nah, they can just do it on a streetcar.

When i first came to Oregon 9 years ago, i found a brochure on a tourist rack that called Oregon "Beervana". That made the rest of the stay relatively bearable, even in Coos Bay, where at the time we had two breweries nearby, one in Bandon and one in downtown Coos Bay.
However, i'm still peeved that beers made IN Oregon are priced with "imports". You have the sign with "Domestics" on one side at like $2.50 a bottle and then over on the "imports" side you see Pyramid and Deschutes and what-all, for a dollar or two more... i really don't understand the logic.

In Oregon "Domestics" is a substitute word for "mass-produced, crappy American beer". Takes less space, but means the same thing. "Micros" are what the local beers are usually under, rather than "imports," but usually cost the same because better ingredients will always cost you more.
