(In the bay area actually I'll be staying >about 15 minutes north of San Jose) Concerning Beaverton, OR . . . One of the niceties of Oregon is the microbrew beer. The Portland area has a network of Pubs which serve great sandwhiches and even better microbrew beers on tap. In Beaverton, on Hall Blvd. (just west of 217 about 1/2 mile) is one of the pubs and it's called the Riverwood Pub. It's located in the Riverwood Center behind the New Star Cleaners. The Pub serves at least a dozen different microbrews on tap and the core brews are good, along with several seasonals thrown in. There is one brew which is getting a lot of popularity and it's called Terminator Stout. Two pints of this stuff will DEFINITELY terminate ya'!! My own homebrew is usually about 6-7% alcohol and I can only imagine what level this stuff is at. Anyway, this is one good place to go. Any particular types of food you'd like to try? Vietnamese? Thai? allen
