When visitors to the US west coast City Portland, Oregon are invited to have “A Taste of Portland,” they’re not kidding, especially if you’re a beer drinker. A team from Portland visiting Sydney told an industry gathering last night that their city has more micro breweries than any other place in the USA. “We know Aussies love their beer, well, when they come to Portland they can do the rounds of some 41 micro breweries, try 40 to 50 different beers and visit 400 wineries in the state of Oregon,” said Marcus Hildon from Tourism Portland. “And, our award-winning Pinot Noirs are on par with what you will find in Burgundy,” he boasts. Portland wants to lure more Aussie travellers to their city of 600,000 people because Hildon says his Portland challenges the stereotype of what people think of the US. The city is renowned for its craftsmen, artisan food makers, fashion & its vibrant music scene.
