G&P Hit the West Coast March 2015

[Madame Buttonfly]

Was great to see this little chap again, it had been far too long.  Look how thrilled he is to see me!

Nice pic of the boys in front of the waterfall 

Super lunch at the Double Mountain Brewery in Hood River, thanks so much @kiya and Demitra (and Diesel).

This is my sort of beer wagon….

I mean, seriously, look at this optional extra…...

Then we had some beers…..

[jock1624]

Well done , waterfalls , smiling dog , bearded Kiya and a beer brewery on wheels !

[Giles]

Met up with @Chris and Julie for more beer…

[mclaincausey]

Some familiar ones. Mirror Pond is a reliably tasty ale.

[Seul]

I'd have 1 and 5, then the rest.

[mclaincausey]

I'd go first for the Nitrous Red Chair. I've had 6 of those, but that's not among them and I love nitrous pushed ales.

Edit: hehe hehe I said nitrous instead of nitrogen.

[Chris]

I started with the Nitro Stout, then had the Black Butte, then the Inversion, then the Chainbreaker, and the last one of the evening I don't remember- maybe the Fire King?

Excellent night, overall.  It would have been a good night, just because of the company, but good beer always makes things better, right?

Cross section.

I know this may sound self serving, but I left the Wesco factory today having seen the process of building a boot from start to finish thinking that they should be a lot more expensive.  The love, skill, attention to detail and care taken is simply staggering.

Foot patrols….

A few assorted FP's....

Boots look killer G..well done..even like the Elvis numbers…

[Giles]

I think the Elvis is my fave…..Paula ordered a pair like that today but with white upper stitching and white lining.....

[Giles]

Paula's first pair of wesco….

And guess what?    I ordered a load of Oxfords with that (feckin) sole today…..

[Giles]

I have more (many) photos to post.  But have to go and meet up with the guys (at a brewery).

Final note.  I got stopped by the police (a lady officer) for doing 76 in a 55 zone today.  I was asked why I did not pull over when when she lit the lights, I gave some rambling bollocks about that not what we do in UK.  I got let off….....Nice

Goddess Paula will rule the heavens in those blue suede numbers! Go girl..

[jdl1279]

The Elvis is spectacular (surprised I'm saying that) Would be interesting to see with a navy smooth cap

Nice! Assume you glossed over you were likely still a bit under the influence also? ::)

That blue suede is lovely.

Brass hardware looks regal against it too.

We try to be patient with our incompetent allies.
