THE OTHER BEERVANA America is flanked by two Portlands, one in Oregon (see page 58) and one in Maine; two lighthouse beer destinations, two beacons of brewing. Oregon’s Portland is known as Beervana, say there’s a Beervana on each coast because Portland, Maine, is a must-visit beer destination. Great beer cities have certain features in common.

Royalty and aristocracy have been officially displaced. Their castles and palaces constitute built-in tourist attractions and a few are available as hotels.
