On a recent trip to Portland I was hoping to stop by a brewery I hadn’t been to before. That’s not a hard thing to do in Portland. According to the Oregon Brewers Guild “there are 47 breweries operating in Portland, more than any other city in the world.”
“The Portland metro area is the largest craft brewing market in the U.S. with the most number of breweries at 61,” the Guild continued.
Suffice it to say it’s not hard to find new beers or places to drink in The City of Roses.
Migration Brewing Company was my lucky find on this trip. After working through a sampler of their fine beers I decided on a pint of their MPA. It’s almost a cross between an English IPA and a Pacific Northwest pale ale – as noted in a video on Migration’s website – and it really hit the spot.
Brewery: Migration Brewing Co.

I encourage you try a beer you’ve never had this weekend and would love to have you report back on what you find. Happy Friday!
