We discovered the Bitter Monk through a friend who lives locally. At his recommendation, we visited for the first time about a year ago. This weekend was the third time we've returned. This weekend they were hosting the Wonderland Brew Fest. Live music, at least 30 different brews to chose from, wonderful local pretzel vendor, and a food truck! Absolute heaven! McMinnville is a little piece of heaven just south of Portland... The Bitter Monk makes it just a little more perfect! If you're ever nearby, stop in and enjoy a lovely brew. Becky and her team are absolutely the best! We look forward to returning again soon!

Based out of McMinnville, Oregon... a place I am intrigued…read morewith due to McMenamins' UFO festival and my obsession with the town and it's breweries steadily became to be more of a priority. But to stay on topic and not go on and on about how exciting it would be for me to go to a UFO festival I will delve onto the beers I had from this brewery. I had two beers from ForeLand and both were very solid! Probably my favorite was the Glass Volcano, a dark lager with a great roasty, coffee flavor with a bit of sweetness. It then has a clean finish which contributed to a very enjoyable lager overall. Mesmeric Gaze was the next beer Steve and I enjoyed. It was an IPA with very fine flavors of pine and citrus generating a slightly tropical reminder. One of the better IPA'S I have had in the last month or so. Definitely a rewarding beer experience with this brewery and a worthy stop to make regardless if UFO's are involved or not.

The beer I got here was a Mexican Lager and I am fairly picky with them. After trying both locations I decided that I liked the darker beers better from this brewery. The name of the beer I had was the Cerveza Dorada. Flavor highlights in this beer are grainy, floral, hoppy, malty and with a clean finish. It wasn't one of the better Mexican Lagers I came across but it was still okay...but as I said this is a type of lager I am fairly picky with.

I wanted an expensive champagne to celebrate an important anniversary so I gave up and went to McMinnville north liquor to see what they had.

Not sure what she was offering but it wasn't what I needed. My main problem with the store isn't the champagne issue, it's disregarding peoples questions. Why have the form if you won't use it ? I won't be bothering these folks again. No great loss for them as we're not big drinkers but I was hoping for so much more from another liquor store in Mac.
