A Familiar Location/Brew

While scanning the NYT on-line I stumbled across this article: "Frugal Portland" (fake Portland, not real Portland)

It refers to some familiar brews (and gives the Widmer hef a seriously backhanded compliment--although I'm not sure what cru means), a few vaguely familiar places, and really, really makes me miss the Northwest. . .

Oh, and speaking of missing the Northwest, I don't know if you're all on the Whitman jobs list-serv, but for those of you who aren't, let me share an opening which came in today . . .
