BEER
It saved the world! That's right! We all know it, yet we have not created a thread in it's honor. Until now!!
Tell us about your favorite. Tell us how it saved your life! Tell us how it ruined it. Shit, tell us how you make your own. Nothing is forbidden here. Why?! Cuz we like BEER!!
I'll start, of course:
I started drinking beer when my wife told me she was pregnant with our 3rd child. Lol. Just kidding. Not going there. Anyway, for years I drank Corona with a lime slice, but I've developed a taste for stouts over time and recently IPA's, which in all honesty I couldn't stand in the past. Now a light beer is like water and only satisfies in the heat of summer, typically in Baja. Microbrews have really grabbed my attention with their creativity and limited releases. As I write this I'm drinking The Lost Abbey Deliverance. It's a bourbon aged ale that is simply awesome! A friend from work gave it to me for Christmas. Drinking it a bit early, as it should age for a year, but hey, I got 12 hours in at work and can use it. I've got a Hanger 24 Pugachev's Cobra in the fridge ready to go next. That one is awesome!
So bring it fellas! What do you like? Doesn't matter if it's Budlight, Coorslight, Schlitz Malt Liquor, what ever is cheapest in a forty, etc.

Check out untappd.com, so you can keep a record of what you've had and where you had it. Just found this. What a great way to combat my failing memory.

Re: BEER
Whoops! Messed up the link. You can figure it out.
I would say this thread has potential to be epic! Sometimes revealing. Other times condemning. Haha! But almost always entertaining. Right?

Re: BEER
Like Brian I was all about light stuff on a hot day (like Imperial in Costa Rica or Pacifico down in Mex.) but IPAs are now growing on me. I'm all over the board though. Pretty much anything but Stouts - haha.
I really enjoy the crips snap of the Asian stuff like Saporro, and then a good ol unfiltered like the Hanger 24 Orange Wheat. Oh and on the lines of fruity - Sea Dog Blue Paw is tasty at the right time. I cannot pass up a Great White if I'm somewhere & they have it.
I wish I knew about that beer tracker thing before as I can't remember crap!
I do know I like a lot of what Dechutes put out. Their Twilight is good for sure. Being up in Bend a time or 2 a year gets me to see more of what they have to offer as the brewery is right there (along with a bunch of others), so seasonals, etc. are easy to score. Bend is a beer town for sure - I seem to venture out the most up there & try all sorts of interesting stuff.

Re: BEER
Love stouts.
Bodingtons is the current go to beer if they have it on tap.
Pacifico for the house.
CL for the river/desert, that way your on even ground with everyone else and they won't steal all your good beer.
Right now in the fridge we have.
Black IPA
a brown similar to Moose drool.
a Saison.
Comming up next is a pumpkin porter. Then maybe a stout and another batch of brown.

Re: BEER
Living in Portland, there's tons of micros. John's Marketplace is a huge beer emporium and I make regular trips. I've recently started liking 10 Barrel, which is a Bend brewery. Bridgeport has a good ipa called Hop Czar. Bud light and like is relegated to camping. Ninkasi has a really good ipa too. Full Sail, Bridgeport and Widmer all make seasonals and I don't know how far outside Oregon they get distributed.
There's also a bunch of brew pubs that don't distribute their beer and you have to go there and get it on draft or have a growler filled.
In the past I've brewed ipa, stout and porter.

Re: BEER
I'm not really a beer person, but it's either Corona with a lime slice, or TsingTao (Chinese). If its a hot day, then whatever is handy is fine.
