When it’s a dark and gloomy rainy day? Yours truly heads for the Bear.
.
.
The Great Lost Bear in Portland is a beloved institution with an average of 60 beers on tap on any given day.
.
.
It’s a perfect way to spend an afternoon.
.
.
With so many beers to choose from, a flight is required.
.
.
My fave?
.
.
Barreled Souls Little Havana. A tropical Gose brewed with Mango, Pineapple, and Guava…weird and totally wonderful.
.
.
The Bear is a quirky place and if you’re a fan of John Connelly’s character Charlie Parker… you’ll feel right at home.
.
.
Their sweet Thai chili wings are massive and delicious.
.
.
Sadly the husband’s French onion soup was so salty it had to be sent back.
.
.
But his beer was fresh and cold and isn’t that really what’s important?
.
.
Free bumper stickers don’t hurt either.
🤣

River's world..... 
That beer sounds a bit weird, but who am I to judge? It also sounds like a summer beer for me. This is the time for Maibock and Scotch Ale as we emerge from porter and stout season. Your flight looks like a good range. Is the gose second from right?

I love Gose, although I’ve been told it’s drinkers like us who’ve killed craft beer. I’ll still love it!

60 beers! I wouldn’t need to go on a pub crawl for several weeks with that selection! Mind, that Havana type sounds a bit dodgy for a beer. 🤔
Love the bumper stickers. 😀🐻

Well it sucks that the hubs soup was salty. Nothing ruins an onion soup more than over seasoning, yuck. That weird beer sounds tasty, lol.

Yes, bears should always be armed… the bigger weapon the better. French Onion soup is tricky! But too salty?
