"The best beer is always the one you are in the process of drinking."

Well, sometimes the simplest answer is the real truth. Very hard to argue with that viewpoint. I think DiverX hit the nail with his head with that post. I mean - on the head.

MMM Beer

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.

No matter what beer you drink if you drink enough of it, long enough, it starts to taste like Pabst.

That said however, I switch beers all the time, but my current Favorites right now come from North Coast Brewing in Ft. Bragg, CA. When I was in WY & CO last summer I samples a load of really kick ass brews from outfits I've never heard of and never see around here and some I have. Left Hand Brewing was a notable. WY, CA, and CO are leaving WA & OR in the dust as far as Brewing goes.

Yep. Alot of imported beers such as Guinness are castrated down to 3.2% for sale in Utah and Oklahoma. Red Stripe is another.

I still can't figure out why Americans act so stupid after they take a shot of Jagermeister. Its not like the swill they sell here has any Opium in it.

Does Bellingham still have Bully's where you can buy beer by the yard?

Ahh man I remember that place--Bullies is gone.

Its a shoe store now

Another thumbs up for Boundary Bay Brewery in Bellingham... their IPA is heavenly. It glows in the glass!

For those that like porters, you have to check out Lazy Boy Porter (brewed in Everett). I'm a big fan of Black Butte Porter but Lazy Boy blows it away.

I'm not a fan of Alaskan Amber. That stuff is WAY too sweet. If you like it, give Mac and Jac's a try.

BTW, if you're ever in Mt. Vernon, stop by and drink a couple pints at "The Porterhouse". It is right around 1st and Gates downtown and they have a constantly rotating list of about 20 West coast beers. Water Street Brewery in Port Townsend also worth a stop.

Dick's Brewing has a good selection. I always pick up a case of various beers whenever I drop off or pick up meat being made into sausage. Just finished some of their Winter Ale, pretty good! Gotta pick up Hunter's pepperoni on Saturday, so I'll restock then.

How about a vote for a Samuel L. Jackson.

Brad,
That thing Chappelle did on the Samuel L. Jackson beer was funny as hell.

I prefer anything unfiltered. I personally like Widmer Hefeweizen. It is a full meal deal baby.

"IT GETS YOU DRUNK, MUTHAFUC*ER!!!"

You should try Scuttlebutt's IPA (everett).

Fat Tire baby... or it's little brother Sunshine Wheat.

Free beer is ALWAYS the best beer.

I like to throw some company in with my beer.......Clamato, Tabasco, maybe a couple pickled beans. And then a couple geezers to normalize the buzz.

I sold a vehicle to Jack Schropp he really liked a while back so I have no need to pay for beer anymore.

Mack and Jacks "African" has my vote. Never leave home without it.

Fat Tire is in a Close Second.

Call me a Pussy as I like Corona Light
