Jeff writes, “No one seems to remember what beers Chuck Coury brewed, but they were impressed that he tried . . .”<\/p>\n For the record, here’s a description from Michael Jackson’s first Pocket Guide to Beer<\/em> (1984):<\/p>\n Cartwright’s Portland Beer (just under 4%w; 5% v) has the characteristics of an ale and is bottle-conditioned, but is fermented with a lager yeast. It is a big beer with a lot of mouth, but its fullness of body is mitigated by a substantial bitterness.
