Tap beer and retail sales are two entirely separate animals. They're often not even the same beer.

And yes. Portland is a major outlier. Weinhard's, brewed since 1856, bought by Stroh's, sold to Miller, now brewed under contract by Full Sale. The fact that the cheap beer of the PNW generally includes Rainier and Kokanee pretty much sets the entire region apart.
