There's plenty of variety in Portland. There's the farmhouse inspired offerings from Upright, a wide range of sour beers from Cascade, all the quirky experiments coming out of Burnside Brewing, and the strong, complex, barrel-aged from Hair of the Dog.
I'd wager that we have a greater diversity of beer being brewed in Portland than just about any other city on the planet.

They all make rather hoppy beers (roughly in that order of increasing hoppiness). Plus, a lot of the smaller places follow the trend (e.g. Old Market in Multnomah Village). I will admit it's probably easier for me to find beer that makes me happy in Portland than in almost anywhere else I've been. Partially this is a indication of how little I've travelled, but it's also a testament to the variety you can find here.
