The Beer culture in the west is very different than it is on the East coast (in part) because of the past laws that separated Beer (and its service) from spirits - this is esp. true in the NW. Legal restriction created a stronger tavern (beer only) culture in the west long before there was a craft beer movement. Although I love the beer scene in Philadelphia & NYC they got nothing on Portland when it comes to beer culture. Yeah – He somehow missed San Francisco, Seattle and Denver.

Surely these are better beer cities than NYC, Philly, or Chicago based on the longevity of the craft brewing scene, events held, number of breweries, and beer bars.

Perhaps the relative lack of breweries in the region (compared to NE, NW, & MW) has something to do with it?
