Six Good Rats found their way (and back again) to Astoria today. The forcast called for rain and wind but our good fortune found sunshine instead. We made our way to the Wet Dog first for a fine lunch and a brew. Then we were off to the Fort George Brewery where I was the only one brave enough to try their nine brew sampler. Afterwards we made our way to the Rogue Brewery where our informative waitress guided us through the numerous beers that were on tap. I really should keep a log of what we tried and what we liked but I was neglegent in doing so.
I will say, now that I'm home safe and sound, we had a little fun at Good Rat Darren's expense while he wasn't looking. While he was off to the "facility", someone substituted his sample of Double Dead Guy Ale for Imperial Pilsner. He didn't seem to know the difference but that's what makes him a Good Rat. Proast Darren!
Speaking of "facility", on the way there one couldn't help but see the FREE self-guided tour of the old BumbleBee Tuna cannery next door to the Rogue. Most impresive was the wall of signatures dedicated to those that worked there at one time or another.
As a most memerable moment I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Good Rat Andy dressed in his Goonies t-shirt. How appropriate since the movie was filmed in Astoria.

Oh my. I've been duped by my fellow rats. I obviously had a enough on that day to not know the difference or to even care. Let it be known that the games have begun. Whoa be the next victim.... ;-)
