Drink 2011: Roscoe's

A beer lover’s paradise for people who think paradise is an unpretentious dive with pool tables and arcade games, Roscoe’s has 16 brews on tap—some local (King Kitty Red from Portland’s Coalition, Omega Tex IPA from Fort George in Astoria), some national (Chateau Jiahu—supposedly an ancient Chinese recipe—from Delaware’s Dogfish Head), some international (Germany’s Hefeweissbier)—and a cool down-to-earth crowd that seems unaware it’s drinking way out in the far Southeast. MATT SINGER.
