Based on the can litter along the rivers I fish, I concluded that fishermen have the worst taste in beer, pretty much any cheap animal beer. It's nice to see that a few members of the angling community are discriminating enough to not pollute their bodies with cheap macro brew. I don't know what the best beer is, and don't think there is a best, since taste is so subjective. I don't care for lighter beers, except maybe on a hot summer day. Mostly I like amber ales like Full Sail, Alaska, and Fat Tire. Black Butte Porter is one of my favorites also. I also liked that Scottish amber that Grant's in Yakima served. Sorry to learn that brew pub went under.
