Did you watch all of it? I didn't, and I think it was one of the later segments when they tasted the beers I mentioned. But yeah, you'll find them, or at least have fun trying. 

 
It did, thanks! (Those guys acted like they were sampling a little too much of the goods! )

But they were cool - they liked It's a Wonderful Life and the Pogues!
 
I should just go to Pioneer Square Friday - they'll have those ales you mentioned, I'm sure.

Does this work?

 
I'll hunt it down. It's probably on their website who they interviewed this morning.
 
 Hell, I've got a taphouse really close to here. I'll bet THEY have some good seasonal stuff. Won't even have to schlep into the city.
 
 
Thanks!

Drew Carney is the local color guy on the KGW 8 morning news. These were local brewers. Beyond that, I wish I'd paid more attention. I thought about that bourbon ale you've mentioned when they were tasting this chocolate whiskey or brandy infused beer. 

 
I admit I don't know who Drew Carney is - were these local brewers? Where are these seasonal beers?

 
Believe me, I've been sampling.
 
 

But this is like new friends and old friends. And you know how special old friends are!
 
 
As long as you're googling about, if you find me a cherry spiced ale in PDX, please send me a link.
 
 
I'll just be book proofing over here....and peeking into RP every so often.....
 
 
EDIT: Has someone designed a national website yet where you can put in a beer name (if you like _____, then try ______), your zip code, and it brings up a local comparison list?

While that does look delicious (a local homebrewer who is my boss' wife did a cherry-honey ale for Christmas last year), you should prowl around your new town's beers. You're in a great city for microbeers, take advantage of it!

Portland Beer List. Including Hair of the Dog, which gets a 96 ("world class") rating from BA. 

How will I make it through the holidays without my Mad Elf??
 
I suppose, as with Kentucky Bourbon Ale, I can have The Party Source ship some out for an ungodly amount of money.
 

 
I need an 11th hour change in my novel (one of many).
 
 
You're in a very nice hotel bar. What beer do you order, on tap?

The UK contingent is always happy to see Americans drinking beer that's not triple-hopped...

It's great to see this! 

Jubelale! 

After drinking Imperial IPAs and other cranky stuff like that, the switch to "winter" beers was a little shock... but I got over it
 
Malty, rich and warm, I look forward to Jubelale and, really, all the winter/Christmas beers (that aren't spiced junk).

Justine was at Costco Friday and called me at work to report they had it in! Hooray!
 


As a bonus, she also picked up a mixed case from Bridgeport, which has their IPA, Kingpin, Hop Czar, and 6 of their seasonal, Ebenezer Ale, which is very similar to Jubelale as it turns out, but I'll have to do more stringent testing to see if it's as good.
 
Now the long wait for Brown Shugga to arrive (stuff gets to our corner of the world a couple of months later than everywhere else). 

 and its even more awesome stand in, Sucks. Looks like they're shipping it in 32-oz jugs this year. Oh, man.

I did not see this bottle opener at the store:
