Barney Gumble: 40 dollars!? This better be the best damn beer ever.. [drinks beer] You got lucky.
I could leave it here, my opinion of Lincoln, a newish restaurant on N Williams. The food is straight forward–almost to a fault–and excellently prepared from fantastic ingredients. [...]
First reported on BrewPublic and currently coursing through the PDX Twitterverse, the Green Dragon, Portland’s new but favorite institution for great beer, is being sold to Rogue Brewery.
