Full Sail and Double Mountain – An Ode to Summer

Well I can think about 10+ things that I’ve wanted to write about lately, but life has been keeping me busy, which is good. Today, I was browsing through my photos and came across a trip we made to the Columbia Gorge in August 2011. It involved (3) different brewery stops:

1. Everybody's Brewing
2. Full Sail Tasting Room & Pub
3. Double Mountain Brewery & Taproom

At the time, my intention was to make this a three part series, but I only managed to get one part done. I covered our experience at Everybody’s Brewing. If you haven’t read it and would like to, check it out here: http://eyeluvbeer.blogspot.com/2011/12/everybodys-brewing-brew-venture-in.html

Full Sail and Double Mountain never received their due. Of course, by now and many beers later, I don’t recall much from our visit. The photos did remind me of a few things, but I realized that I either need to write a post soon after the experience or start jotting down the main highlights. I was great at taking notes as a scholar, but that knack has long slipped away into the cracks. So instead of trying to create a fictitious story, which might be more interesting than reading some variation of the truth, I thought I would just post the photos with a few brief captions about what remains imprinted in my memory from an excellent summer day.
