Hi! I’m an architecture student working on a project for Salem. Starting a food cart pod along Portland Rd. is one of my big ideas (along with building live/work spaces and having an electric vehicle depot on-site), and I really like the idea of the brew-cart! Maybe if Salem likes my design you can be one of the first carts!

I was thinking I might get the same comments, so far so good. I still have a little bit a remorse from backing out of the one offer we made but no one ever said buying a house was going to be easy.

Keep at it! New beginnings are tough. We’re currently pursuing first-time home buying in Salem and are experiencing the same jitters. Yikes! Brave of you to post about it. I did that and got like 23 apocalyptic comments. Good luck to you!

He doesn’t have his brewery at the cart, but Dylan Goldsmith now has a beer-cart that is part of a cart pod in SE Portland. http://pdx.eater.com/archives/2010/10/11/the-beer-cart-cometh-captured-by-porches-beer-bus.php

I think your model is very viable. Several Colorado breweries are using the “rotating cart” method at their tasting room… including Great Divide and Twisted Pine. A brewery-based pod is just the next step in the evolution.

I think Ninkasi is having different carts come in from day to day, I am a fan on their facebook site and every once in a while they announce a different food cart that they have on site.

At the Portland Architecture blog, Brian Libby has a timely discussion of the food cart phenomenon. Maybe there's some more thought fodder there! How many carts does Ninkasi have clustered - how big is the cart pod?

Actually Ninkasi is doing it down in Eugene, I kind of used their idea for inspiration.

There are plenty of voids in the downtown blocks where food carts would create pockets of activity and buzz better than the surface parking lots occupying the voids presently!

That sounds like an interesting cooperative model. Wonder if it’s been tried anywhere else.

Sorry dude I hadn’t approved your post yet. I’ll put you on the blog roll as soon as I get off my ass and do another post, it’s been a while. Hope all is well with you and your family.

Hey Adam- I had a colleague bring back a growler of the Fresh Hop IPA and it is fantastic. Nice blend of that wonderful earthy, resinous fresh hop flavor and some good base bitterness. I look forward to having some more in October at the brewery.

Check out my thoughts on the first round of fresh hops in Portland at my blog. And when are you gonna add me to the blogroll???

Cheers!
