Courier Coffee Roasters, Portland OR

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.

Eating About Beer 2012 Homebrew Dinner

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.

 

This sauce was for the Yakitori

 

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

 

homemade pickled mangoes

 

and carrots

 

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.

 

Cast iron coming out of the oven

 

Guests await more food and beer

 

Seitan

 

“Inside-out stuffed duck”  – Ground duck wrapped in dressing with a cherry molasses reduction.

 

9Sev Brew – Born in Maine Brewed in  Cali.  This pumpkin spice ale was paired with the inside-out stuffed duck above.

 

Ginger cake with a poached pear and whipped cream.

 

The chefs and brewers came out at the end for a toast.

Tour de Biere 2012

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.

El Taco Panzon Taqueria in West Oakland.  They are no longer open.  Yelp reviews are here.
