Peloton Steak Sandwich, Hopworks Urban Brewery, Portland OR

The Hopworks Urban Brewery is a bike themed organic brewpub that is fun to visit and even funner to drink and eat. And, in the spirit of the tour, I ordered the Peloton Steak Sandwich.

Peloton Steak Sandwich

What you get with this concoction is a massive amount of paper thin tri-tip piled high onto a toasted whole grain bun. Throw on grilled red onions, red and green bell peppers and melted cheddar cheese, and you are in cheese-steak-heaven.

Biting into the Peloton, you get a mouthful of scrumptious melted cheese mixing nicely with the tasty tri-tip. The red onions and peppers added a sweet resonance to the hefty steak and cheese. Nibble on a thick-cut french fry and a bite of pickle, and you have a right tasty meal.

And with such a rich sandwich, I decided on the Organic HUB Lager. 

Organic HUB Lager

This golden lager is a pilsener style beer with a light head and body. Everything about this brew seemed delightfully light and drinkable. It drank down smooth and easy: a perfect companion to the hefty steak sandwich. If you want a clean and fresh beer, this is the one you want to ask for.



The HUB Lager is a World Beer Cup and Australian International Beer Awards winner. And, hyperbole aside, Men's Journal named it the "Best Draft Beer In The World". It still is a great beer.

And if you are a true bike enthusiast, check out HUB's Hopworks Bike Bar. Sitting on a main bike commuter route into downtown, the Bike Bar has a display of 40 custom bike frames and two Plug-Out stationary bicycles that generate electricity  back into the building when pedaled. It's appropriate that Portland has its very own Bike Bar: Portland was once again named in the top 5 of America's Best Bike Cities by Bicycling Magazine.
