After arriving in Portland for the first time over 5 days ago for work training, I was taken to The Little Bird for the “Bone Luge Experience.” I am currently parked on an uncomfortable airport seat thinking about my luge virgin experience. I can still taste the whiskey thick with flavor and the cheers from my fellow luge-ers. My search for places near San Francisco begins. Way to good too not do again.

Discovery Luge
First there was the “Pickle Back” (taking a shot of pickle juice after a shot of whiskey). Then there was “fat washing” (adding meat to spirits, creating bacon vodka or short rib bourbon, for instance).
Now there’s a new drinking trend sweeping the bars and pubs of this cocktail crazy nation, and it’s called “Bone Luge.” And it’s exactly what it sounds like: Using the bone of an edible animal to funnel alcohol into your mouth.
