For future record, the poll ended with Portland at 41% and Asheville at 37% out of 15,885 votes. I think the fact that 3 cities collected 85% of the votes says mucho about the passion of the people in those cities and how they feel about living in a good beer city.

I want to thank everyone who took the time to vote. Thanks to everyone who tweeted and retweeted poll info or put it on their facebook page. I want to thank Travel Portland and Travel Oregon and the NC and Asheville Tourism people for getting the word out. It also looked like the Asheville and Portland media specifically KGW @ The Square helped to push it also.
Until next year or not.
