Lo...I went to Portland a few times back in the 90s. Loved the city and the drive out to the Cascades. Great place.<br /><br />At that time, there was a restaurant by the water that was also a micro-brewery. One of their things was to bring out a tray of all their different brews. Didn't like any of them, but had the best Pacific halibut of my life!<br /><br />Thanks for bringing back the memory.William J.
