So, we're back in Portland after our early escape to some coastal breweries. We're sitting around Jonah's mom, Debra's house trying to think so something to do.  What should we do to get out of this crazy hot Oregon heat? (We have TOTALLY adapted to living in Alaska by the way.)  Racking our brains... racking our brains... wait, doesn't Portland have 39 breweries?  And don't we love going to breweries?

So we hitched up the bikes (?) and set out, our destination was Coalition Brewing Co.  This was Jonah and my second visit to Coalition, our first trip really struck a cord and I was anxious to see if it stayed true to all the hype I had built up in my head.  Bingo.  Coalition, though a small brewery, has brews with big flavor.  The Kitty Kat Red was again my favorite brew of the night while Jonah voted for the WU C.R.E.A.M. Ale (the brew he always recommends whenever the brewery comes up).  There was talk of riding out towards another brewery, but we decided to stay put and enjoy the warm evening with Coalition's cool session-ales.

Coalition Brewing Co. is awesome, hands down awesome.  Jonah and I were riding our bikes from Llyod Center back to SE Portland and just happened across the pub.  Coalition has been on my list since Portland grew 4 breweries while we were in Alaska, and I'm super pleased we rode by.

I started with the King Kitty Red which was an excellently hoppy red ale while Jonah christened the visit with the WU C.R.E.A.M. Ale, a smooth pleasant ale.  For the second round, I drank the Two Dogs IPA, a very solid IPA and Jonah had the complex and satisfying Loving Cup Maple Porter.

Also, the logo rocks.  Go to this brewery.  Seriously GO!
