Pub #48 -- Santiam Brewing Company, Salem, Ore., October 25

Three weekends left, three pubs to go!

For some reason I've overlooked this pub.  I thought I'd known about it for awhile, but when I actually looked at the website, I realized it was much more promising than I had thought.  Good British pub food and ales, including a few pumped out of the cask, just like in jolly olde England.

So on a VERY cold, blustery day, we went to Salem and chose to sit outside.  At least there was a heat lamp that helped a little, but it was way too cold for pleasant eating.  Still, given how much I liked what we got, I'd bet we'll be back when the weather improves. 

Ales: Firewatch Dark Lager (cask ale), Pirate Stout (coconut notes, aged in rum barrels), Govna Special Reserve Pirate Stout (even stronger on the coconut and rum, and alcohol - 12%)

<didn't get> Sangre de Cristo -- stout in Cabernet barrels

Food: Scotch eggs, Aussie pie, Shepherds pie, Welsh rarebit
