Bridgeport Kingpin Red

As we all know, red ales are among the finest fermented beverages known to the global pantheons throughout mythological history. When that ale, however has been doubly brewed and hopped in triplicate, the result is something that could have only, and obviously, been made in Oregon.

Bridgeport brewing, long an unremembered standard of the Portland scene, has reached out to take a stranglehold on the red-headed underbelly of the city of roses. Kicking down wharf house doors with a hard-nosed, readily alcoholic 7.5% and using it to drown fools at the dirty junction of the Willamette and the Mighty Columbia rivers, Kingpin is the undisputed tyrant of the Pacific Northwest.

Beermigos Rating: Burger and Brew. Although complex enough to warrant onesy brew status, the fact that you'll inevitably drink two or three of these guys means you should probably back that up with some meat, cheese, bun and probably double bacon.
