Deschutes Brewery : Favorite Of Pub Crawlers In Portland













When it comes to pub crawling in Portland, Deschutes Brewing is a classy stop to regroup and recharge in the Pearl District Area.It is around 1.2 mile from Hilton Downtown where we were staying during a recent vacation. Barrels of beer decorate the large dining room, which also features stone walls, distressed wood and other rustic design touches. With more than a dozen taps pouring the usual suspects along with a collection of seasonal and experimental brews . The bar has something for every beer lover. The kitchen serves fresh, sustainable fare, including  options for vegetarians like me. Non-veg among our group enjoyed their beer-battered halibut and  the smoked brisket. The steamed clams with a side of sweet potato fries also keep you going until your next destination.

The Brewery is originally from The Bend in Oregon State . It had a very modest beginning as small brew pub in 1988 in downtown and named it after the Deschutes river. Owner Gary Fish emphasized a community-based approach to his business.The brewery sold 310 barrels of beer in its first year. Not bad for a startup. By 1992, sales swelled up to 3,954 barrels. Unable to keep up with demand in its original facility, the brewery expanded to a 16,000-square-foot production brewery in 1993 with the ability to brew in 50-barrel batches. Deschutes now has a brewing facility with two brew houses, distributing its beer in 28 states of USA. In 2012, the brewery further expanded its brewing facility by 6,750 square feet , adding 105,000 barrels of production capacity ! New equipments installed contain a water reuse system, saving the company thousands of gallons of water per year, as well as a carbon di-oxide capture system from the fermentation process,  which  decrease waste to the city sewer system.

Pearl District micro-brewery and pub was opened in Portland in the year May 2008. Soon it has become big attraction for beer crawlers  in Portland. This rustic downtown brewpub showcases nearly 20 different Deschutes beers, from classics to limited releases. The Swivelhead Red IRA from Deschutes Brewery reached #1 on the list of the top 100 beers of all time by the Cold Cans podcast.

Is Kedli Mother of Idli : Tried To Find Out Answer In Indonesia

Recently I traveled to Indonesia and surprised to learn that culturally Indonesian are very close to us. Even their food has certain commonality. And interestingly I come to know that our very own Idli has its origin in Indonesia. Let us start with religion. Hindu and Budhist influences arrived in this archipelago much before birth of Jesus Christ. It is however unclear that how the cultural and spiritual ideas from India were diffused in the area. It appears that there had been regular trade links between southern part of India with Ceylon, Java, Sumatra, Bali as well as many other Islands in Indian as well as Pacific ocean. The traders from India brought their cultural, culinary and religious influences. Java legends refer to Saka-era, traced to 78 AD . Stories from the famous epic Mahabharat have been traced in Indonesian islands to the 1st century; whose versions mirror those found in southeast Indian peninsular region. The Javanese prose work Tantu Pagelaran of the 14th cent...

Elton John is my most favorite singer. He is a singer, songwriter, pianist and composer all rolled into one. In terms of sales, he is the fourth-best-selling music artist worldwide . In 1998, he was knighted by British Queen this got ‘Sir’ title, but for music lover like me whether he is Sir or not a Sir , it is immaterial. He has won heart of millions of music lovers, that is more important. These days I am living in Harrow Burroughs of London, Pinner is a part of it. Yesterday I was in Pinner Library and out of a conversation between two young ladies I come to know that this international rock sensation was born and brought up in this area only.
