We visited Portland, Oregon a few weeks ago to spend some time with family. We spent some time walking around downtown in southwest Portland and eventually stopped into Courier Coffee for a break and some caffeine after missing out on Spella Caffe by just a few minutes. Next time.

Courier Coffee roasts their coffee in Southeast Portland and deliver their coffee by bike.

Latte art with a heart-shaped rosetta.
The barista and other customers were really friendly and the coffee was great. No regrets in coming here instead of Spella at all.
My shot of espresso.

January’s 2012 Homebrew Dinner hosted by Eating About Beer was another great evening of good food, good brews and good company.
I arrived early to take photos of the set-up. Erin’s place in San Francisco had beautiful natural light and nice floral arrangements.


And a big dictionary.
Dishwashing, viewed through the window into the laundry room.

There is an equal amount of beer in bottles and in kegs these days

They have a lever that opens the front door. What are these called? The internet isn’t helping me.
Yakitori and dipping sauce. Chicken hearts and “regular” chicken too.

Here are a few pictures taken during Tour de Biere 2012, a ride we put together via The Grand Cru that raised money for the East Bay Bicycle Coalition and visited multiple East Bay breweries. There aren’t bikes in these; they’re from our ride up Market St in Oakland. I’ve posted pictures of the bikes, beer, and riders on this Grand Cru page.
