Ale adventures in Oregon

We know this part of Southern Oregon very well, so we tend to go back to familiar territory when we come here. Two of our favourites, although not brewpubs, are the Laughing Clam in Grants Pass and Kaleidoscope (http://www.kaleidoscopepizza.com/) in Medford, which is a pizzeria bar themed as a shrine to the Grateful Dead, of all things. They both always have interesting selections from local micros - 16 of them in Kaleidoscope last week, although none served cask conditioned unfortunately. Here's the bar there with some of the ale selections on view:



The Grateful Dead posters and record covers are inside, but outside there are figures of all the band:
