That's cute! One Guy... it was probably a good thing for us to get out of Portland - so many small breweries with damn good beer. It's so tempting to go and see what's new on tap, to see what they've come up with this time. One of my my favorite breweries in Portland (amnesia) made a fantastic christmas porter - Sleigh Jerker. It was so good - appropriately hoppy and malty and chocolatey and very alcoholic.
It was one of those beers where you'd tell yourself you'd only have one, then before you knew it you were contemplating a third pint. Dangerous. And then there were the beer bars... if you ever make it out to Portland, check out Higgins' bar. The food is fantastic (being one of, if not "the", birthplace of NW cuisine) but the beer list is excellent. Many belgians on there to choose from.
The brewery near us is called 75th Street Brewing. It's KC's oldest brewery. Their beers are decent, but nothing to write home about. Every once in a while they come out with something above par. Their new APA is quite good, as is their irish red. The rest... I've had better, but I can't complain... the place is a 1/2 mile walk from our house.
In other news, we went on a bike ride today to the community farmers' market (not the big city one) and it sucked. There weren't very many vendors there (maybe 6? 7?) compared to last time, and neither the beef nor the egg lady was there. It was almost all people selling potted vegetable plants. I'm sure it will get better in the coming months.
It was nice to get out for a ride, though. I haven't been on my bike in about a year.
