The Green Dragon Bistro and Brewpub had a soft opening this past Friday. Brewmaster Lauren aka LoLo was still putting in lines, but they had an outstanding lineup of ales pouring. I’d have to say the best surprise was Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout on Nitro no less. Fantastic. I also had a gorgonzola and strawberry salad from the Bistro that paired very well with the Old Rasputin. The place is beautiful! Gorgeous wrapped wood back bar, Black stone like bar top with glass tiles imbedded with the Green Dragon logo and what looked like magical Dragon Scales. Jim Parker tells me that he’s planning beer dinners as well as Spirits paring in partnership with Integrity Spirits. Keep your eye on the folks at Green Dragon. Nothing was usual. The menu in the bistro is unique and the Brewery’s approach to draft beer is as well. The taps will constantly rotate so it’s gonna be a place to frequent for Craft Beer lovers. Jim talked about their plans in the Oregon Brewers Festival episode here on the Craft Brew Cast. Check it out, and visit Jim at the Green Dragon on your next Brew expedition. Tell him I sent you!

See you at the Great American Beer Festival.

 Thats me so be sure and stop to say hello if you spot me. And if you can’t make it to the festival, tune in to the Craft Brew Cast. I’ll be uploading interviews throughout the weekend. Alot of it may be unedited. I think that will be a great way to really capture the energy of the event. Meanwhile I’ll be posting the next brewcast that features Chip Harding at The Bier Stein Bottle Store and Pub.

Now go have a good beer!
