As long as we beat Seattle and SF, that's all I care about.

Son of a... I voted for Portland, ME accidentally!

I thought we wanted people to stop coming here.

Oh yeah, good point, Colin.

Our beer SUCKS! I'd rather drink Olympia!

Everyone in Portland drinks Rainier tallboys because Portland has NO good beer! Move to Seattle and get some of their artistic culture and down-to-earth style!

Our beer here is terrible. They use these green pods called "hops" that make it bitter and undrinkable.

(Psst - Colin does that help?)

It's Always Beery in Philadelphia. Philly Beer Week June 4 -13. Over 700 events scheduled! Too busy drinking to vote. Wish you were here!

Portland is ranked as one of the drunkest cities in the U.S. and also has the most strip clubs per capita. There is little regulation in Oregon when it comes to drinking and partying. I wouldn't be so proud of that!

Asheville takes its beer _very_ seriously. I've never seen anything like it.

Tour buses actively encourage passengers to pick up bottles beer and drink during the ride, the dumpiest gas stations have better beer selection than most Portland grocery stores, and when you get a haircut - most barbers offer a free pint of local brew.

I'm not disparaging Portland's excellent beer scene. But Asheville takes it to a whole new level.

Mr. Coleman is speaking from a space of ignorance.

The Asheville Beer Scene sucks. Sucks, sucks, sucks.

Greetings from Asheville.
It's very cute that you have chosen this particular windmill to tilt at but it's probably for the best if the urine-like swill you in Portland call beer remains untasted by the rest of the world.
Besides, you already hold the title of Meth City, USA.
Can't you just be happy with that?

In the back wash? Way to take the low road there...and for the record, we tied u last year and didn't even know we were IN the race...back wash...lemme guess, ur drinking budweiser

portland might have great beer and lots of it...but it's 10 times the size of asheville, and the fact that asheville can even contest says a lot...much less win! (i'm from asheville but live in portland...i get it, both cities have lots of great beer.)
