Alive and well in the City of Roses.

Loyal readers, don't hold it against me when there's been to much great beer to drink and not enough time to write about it.

Suffice to say, the sojourn to Newport, Oregon for a visit to Rogue Nation has already passed into legend. There might be photos soon.

Currently, we're in Portland, and after 3,000 miles, Graham is handing me off t the missus for the next phase of the trip.

And the meeting with our beloved Phil "Biscuit" Timperman? Well, let's just say that thanks go out to Charles Porter (onetime brewer at Bloomington Brewing and Upland, now at Full Sail) for serving as guest-host when Biscuit elected to visit San Francisco at the last moment.

On to Seattle. More later.
