miker Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 Guinness is the best-on tap preferred, but otherwise from the can, the bottle is to bitter. Black Butte Porter also good Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout I find myself going into any bar/restaurant asking two questions 1-What is the darkest beer you have?(When they say miller I leave or have a water) 2-What is the hottest thing you got? The beer doesn't help with the real hot food so you keep drinking more. Note: Truly hot food means you can't really taste the beer, thus the light mexican beers you see in general, I don't know what Canada's excuse is. And when I am too gummed up with dirt etc to drink a dark beer I go for a honey mead or a cider to cut the gumminess and still get launched on the sweet candy. Quote
specialed Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 You know what the best thing about Oregon is: Tall Dog 6-packs of PBR. Haven't seen em in Washington. Quote
Alpine_Tom Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 On tap? Pilsner Urquel. or Maritime Pacific's dark wheat, if it's available. Bottled? Portland Brewing's McTarnahan's Scottish. Or Bridgeport. It's interesting no one's mentioned Grants, since they started the whole microbrew thing in the PNW. I don't care for their ales, though, too hoppy and kind of sour. Quote
Dru Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 I like that beer in grocery stores thing in the USA. Does Pyramid still make that Espresso Stout? That was some good beer. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted June 28, 2001 Author Posted June 28, 2001 Dru, Go to Nevada and you can get beer served to you in church. They even pass around the ash trays Quote
Bronco Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 Hey Canadians, is it true you can get a free case of beer if you find a mouse in your bottle? Where can we get Elsinore? I hear it is great with "JELLIES" eh? Quote
Backcountry Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 Team Gander Mountain prefers Schmidt Ice...with some red vines too... Quote
specialed Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 How bout those speed cooler things they have in the beer stores in Can. Beer warm, put beer in cold water, wait, take beer out, beer cold. Drink beer. Quote
mark Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 The best beer on earth use to be Schmidt, now it is Schmidt Ice. When I first started climbing, my partner and I would drive up to index after work, climb routes until dusk, then polish off a half rack of Schmidt Ice in the parking lot before driving home to our wives. Now, I'm divorced and he's in AA. Still at the end of along day of climbing nothing beats a schmitty. [This message has been edited by mark (edited 06-28-2001).] Quote
Kyle Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 I used to brew some kick-ass beer myself, and my Scottish ale stood up well next to Grant's. Beware, though, home-brewing is a sure-fire way to pack on some seriously unwanted pounds. Quote
Bronco Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 I thought this site may tell me but it is mostly just about life and society in Canada. http://www.geocities.com/kanadian_korner/ Quote
Dru Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 Many years ago on a trip to do the Olympic Beach traverse a guy I was driving with bought a glass of Budweiser in a restaurant in Keystone, WA while waiting for the ferry. He went off to the john and we drank 99% of his beer out of the glass and filled the glass back up with water. He couldn't/didn't notice a difference! Quote
Dwayner Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 Mickey's.....Mickey's Big Mouth...in fact, I had a few for breakfast this very morning. - Dwayner Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted June 28, 2001 Author Posted June 28, 2001 Dwayner, Nice to see fellow alcoholics are stickin' to their habits Quote
Eerie Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 The best beer is the one you have in your hand. Even better than that is the free beer you have in your hand! Quote
haireball Posted June 29, 2001 Posted June 29, 2001 my brother-in-law once brought me some "Labatts Velvet Cream Stout" which I really enjoyed. next time I got to Canada, tried to get more, and was told Labatts don't make no such brew... go figure... winter time, Paulaner Salvatore is generally pretty good - said to be the most "popular" beer in the world..., Grant's Russian Imperial Stout, and, of course, Guinness summer - I like bitter ales, Red Hook ESB or Bachelor Bitter - but I gotta admit, the one you forgot at the bottom of the haul-bag is always the best - especially if you forgot the Cuban cigar that went with it!!!

AlpineK Posted June 29, 2001 Posted June 29, 2001 Pyramid Snow Cap in the winter Molson Canadian in the summer. We'll have to hold up bombing the brewery when we take over BC. Actually most beer is fine with me except Bud and its byproducts. Quote
Spud Posted June 29, 2001 Posted June 29, 2001 Guinness is a stout, so that doesn't really count as a beer. Thus, my choice would have to be McNally's Extra Ale by Big Rock Brewery. 7% alcohol per volume and a great rich taste. I'm salivating... ------------------ Drop by and visit Spud's Travels at http://www.spudstravels.com Quote
Dru Posted June 29, 2001 Posted June 29, 2001 Bob and Doug were Canada pre-craft brewing ( I won't say microbrwing since those breweries are pretty big now). Molsons and Labatts eh. I prefer Kokanee if I have to drink corporate beer. A bud in every bottle! Quote
nerdom Posted June 29, 2001 Posted June 29, 2001 If any of you Pac Nor'westers ever make it to the East Coast to climb at the Gunks -- in the fall -- drop by the Gilded Otter Brewery in Downtown New Paltz and have Rachel mix you up a "Stumpkin": one part seasonal Pumpkin Ale, one part (award-winning) Stonehouse Stout, all brewed on the premises. Absolutely sublime! Quote
Dwayner Posted June 29, 2001 Posted June 29, 2001 Did anyone happen to mention Mickey's Big Mouth?.....wait a minute....I already did.... sorry, amigos - Dwayner, counting change from under the sofa cushion and seeing if there be enough to justify a walk to 7-11 for a refill. Quote
rockrat16 Posted June 29, 2001 Posted June 29, 2001 Black Butte Porter at the Deschutes Brewery in Bend after a day of fall climbing at Smith Rock!!!!!! Pyramid Hef with a thick slice of lemon on the deck in the sun. Seems like when we're out drinkin' and ordering that extra unnecessary pitcher, it is usually RedHook ESB. Quote
Mike_Buker Posted June 30, 2001 Posted June 30, 2001 Why drink a loaf of bread in a can (however dark and delicious) when the refreshment of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is available? If the alcohol is less, it leaves much more room for the next beer. When hypovolemia threatens-reach for the Pilsner that sassifies! Quote
