I drank the Dirty Pete shortly after Father's Day. It was OK, but not something I would seek out and pay the big bucks.
Well that sucks, it sounded good. I think I tried the NE IPA in your third picture, I thought it was pretty good.I drank the Dirty Pete shortly after Father's Day. It was OK, but not something I would seek out and pay the big bucks.
Ha, I had heard of Yuengling beer, but never saw any here in the PNW. For years, I thought it was a Chinese beer like Tsingtao.Bear... I wish I could get Yuengling here. Rumor has it I might be able to buy then end of the year but I load up the trunk everytime we head east to visit the wife's family. Once I get back everyone wants to come over and enjoy some. Makes for a great time to smoke something. I also love some Genny beers.
I'm of a mind that unless it's being run by an experienced brewer (and a lot of them are amateur startups), there is about a 2 year learning curve for nano breweries. In other words, if they survive for 2 years, odds are that what they put out after that point will be decent and drinkable.I departed the PNW 20 years ago and the large amount of local area and regional breweries was astounding. Granted some of them were pretty bad.
PNW innovated the growler.
Rainier had some good ones in their day.Don't drink much beer anymore but Hamms still had the best dang commercials in my opinion!

Amen. Not a fan.Unfortunately the IPA trend, the sours, anything with fruit forward taste is on my yuck list, and that is what is being made mostly now.
