Meetup at The Abbey!

Sat June 4 at 5:00 PM, The Abbey Bar
716 NW 21st Ave, Portland, OR, USA (Map & Directions)
We haven't had a PDX-area meetup in a few months.
I think we should remedy that.
So, we're going to The Abbey Bar on NW 21st on Saturday, June 4th.
If the regulars don't mind sharing a pint with an inveterate lurker, I might drop in here. Haven't been to one since the 10th anniversary thing and feeling the need to get out a bit more lately.

I feel like we should try something new. Crazy idea?

Did you have a date in mind? Sometime the weekend of June 4th would be best for me.

How far out do we want to go? There's a swell BBQ joint in Lake Grove that has a huge patio and a bar attached.

Pine Shed Ribs. . The cornbread is the not-sweet kind with coarse-ground cornmeal in it.

Website reads like massive overhype to me, but the proof is in the pig....

And the pig is good. Not super smokey, but still super tasty and worth a trip out of the way for most. Plus, their taplist is decent, which I know is important for this group.

Can we agree have huge fights about politics. That way, cortex can get some practice with live-action moderation.

Does anyone have any opinions between the Abbey or Pineshed?

Derp!
Forgot we were busy until 4 or so.
So, I changed it to 5:00pm, although you can certainly show up earlier if you want to.

I have never been to one of these. Perhaps I should remedy that?

Due to the Starlight Parade happening tomorrow evening, I decided that I didn't want to brave the crowds getting into NW. I hope to meet you all another time!

haha there are two abbey bars in NW. I am at the other one having a lovely ESB after a thorough tasting session with the bartender. Maybe I'll make it down your way soon.

Yes please do come to the 21st and Irving one; we can't bear a schism.

Also, it's bad form to split the party.

Sorry for leaving early; I was having a blast but I've got a headlight out and I didn't want to risk a ticket driving home in the dark.
Let's do this again soon!

A small delegate moved to the Lucky Lab on 20th and stayed until they kicked us out. We bonded.
