Just a quick post to document a couple of the "new" beers I found in Portland: Rogue‘s Portland Saturday Market Artisan Ale, and Cedar River Amber from Trader Joe’s.

Here’s the Rogue. It’s their standard 22-ounce bomber. The year on the bottle indicates 2006, also, and it has a funky label. Here’s a closeup of that:

The Cedar River Amber I found at TJ’s is offered under a "Northwest’s Best" label, but is really brewed by Hale’s Ales in Seattle. There were two other varieties of "Northwest’s Best" there, too: Puget Sound Gold and St. Helen’s Stout.
