I grew up a couple of miles from Blue Lake Park
Seems every other year they were shutting the lake down due to bacterial overgrowth.
That brewers festival is interesting. John and I went last year and were disappointed. It was SO crowded and everyone was falling over drunk. We were expecting something more like a "get to talk to the brewers about making beer" type of thing. Not a bunch of frat boys yelling WAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP across the portapotty lines. Should have known.
But yeah, I echo your YUM on the portland beer sentiment. I miss it. A lot. But it's probably better I don't have constant access to it.
