I actually did do some research of where to go, and one of the top places on my list was Steamworks Brewing. WHAT A MISTAKE THAT WAS! Sure the atmosphere was cool, and it might fool a non-Oregonian into thinking they have good beer, but...they don't. Be glad you didn't get their sampler tray...of the ten they put forth, only two were drinkable...the other 8 were DISGUSTING. Especially their Sour Cherry beer and their Hefeweizen...oh man I nearly threw up right then and there. Seriously. Incidentally, in B.C. they tend to brew Hefs a lot differently, it tastes like they are adding cloves? or other spices not typically found in Hefeweizen...try it once, and then remember to never order a Hef in B.C. ever again. Ever. Also remember to be thankful we live in Beervana. I give thanks every day for that wonderful fact.
