Portland

Ballsy is an understatement. It didn't go over well in the beginning being "not from Portland". But the beer is good and ultimately they won some of the locals hearts. See http://www.wweek.com/bars/2016/11/08/ohio-brewery-transplant-fat-heads-is-crushing-portland-at-its-own-game/ as an example. They're expanding to other parts of Northeast Ohio as well as Charlotte, NC. Also a new 70HL German-made brewery to replace their current production brewery.

I was in Portland for CBC last year and with so many brewers in town, Apex and Beer Mongers were the best choices to get great selection. We hit a few of the local brewpubs but I was really blown away by Hood River. That was a trip worth making!
