'Twas decided; I would drive to the Town Center Chilli's, i mean, the Golden Valley Brew Pub in McMinville, Oregon. Apparently it is correct to refer to the town as "Mac". Like Mac salad, or "Hello I'm a Mac". You get the picture. When in Rome... hold brutal, barbaric deathsports.
Ayanna ti paginuman?
Above is a picture of the dreaded "Red Thistle Ale". I was warned explicitly in hushed tones by an anonymous general store clerk that i would not like it at all. Surprise! Good stuff! Next pic:
Above is a picture of the middle of the "10 tap stave sampler" Ten, (10), that is 1 followed by a zero, beers. Served in little glasses, perched on a barrel stave. All the brewskis are produced at Golden Valley. Note the list. Next:
The tail end of the sampler. The IPA's, Belgian style ale, and stout are towards the end. Next:
The drive was very nice. Yamhill, Carlton, Mac. Once we arrived, we performed the Chinese fire drill procedure so she could park the ride, as i always seem to have bad luck with parking in crowded lots.
We were seated right away. You know what that means? Yes! That's right!
A game of spot the Filipino!
Ayanna ti paginuman?
Swing and a miss.
Ok- like she pointed out, it was like walking into the bar at the Hawthorne Hotel. Thumb, meet sore. Back to the GVBP:
Oysters? Yummy. Drinks? Here are some pictures.

A veritable rainbow bridge of beers, between Midgaard and Asgaard, of course. The clear winners? Their wheat beer (#1) and the dread "Red Thistle Ale". They're all good, those two are just the most memorable. Food? Outstanding! What did we have ? None of your damn business. I'll mention the oysters ( fried thank you ), and they did include bread and butter.
Will we go again? Yes. Looks like a fun place to hang out and the menu demands repeat visits due to its size and byzantine complexity of a baroque nature. Art Deco? Never seen 'em in concert.
The review? Winnaz. A good way to beat the "ain't got no mo, no mo" blues. In F, of course.
