Port Townsend Golden Ale

Posted on August 31, 2008 by dugpark

Perhaps the only so-so beer I have had from Port Townsend Brewing Company to date, Port Townsend Golden Ale isn’t a bad beer but it definitely has nothing remarkable about it.  So far, the brewery has done a very good job … Continue reading →

Port Townsend IPA

Posted on August 26, 2008 by dugpark

My second beer of the trip when we ate at Jordini’s in Port Townsend was the Port Townsend IPA.  This beer, while not being exotic, strange, or unique, pretty much nails IPA on the head.  It doesn’t stand out, but it doesn’t … Continue reading →

Oranjeboom

Posted on August 17, 2008 by dugpark

Oranjeboom… I actually think I like saying the name of this beer more than I liked drinking it, but it isn’t too bad.  Brought to us from the fine folks in Holland, Oranjeboom is a mild lager that doesn’t have … Continue reading →
