![]() Just wondering if my experience is fairly typical, or if anyone else on here might be a regular and stops by pretty frequently. I think about what I know they're going to have on tap over there, and I'm just not ever moved to run over there. Nevertheless, I just don't find myself thinking about heading over there vey often. I still think their beers are a bit overpriced, but not so much that that's really a deterrent to my visiting their pub (I like the vibe at the Alberta street spot, and I think their food is quite good). Granted, I think most of their pastry stouts are way too sweet, and I've never been a huge sour fan, but I've liked some of the adjunct IPA's they've put out. I think this past year I've visited the new location on the west side once, and the old Alberta street location once. Just speaking for myself, I probably visit GN less often now than I did the first year they were open. On the other hand, I rarely see much of any discussion about GN among the local Portland BA crowd, and I can't remember the last time I saw someone mention a GN beer in the WBAYDN thread. I've even seen posts where it sounds like that's really the only place some visitors want to check out when they come here. Most out of town visitors posting in the "Visiting Portland" thread mention Great Notion as one of the places that's at the top of their list of places they feel they need go. My impression is that Great Notion is probably the number one beer/brewery destination for out of town visitors. It made me wonder if that's also the case with Great Notion. This was something I've been thinking and wondering about for a while, after a recent out of town visitor expressed his surprise that the Upright brewing tasting room seemed to be more popular with visitors from out of town than locals.
