My Aunt lives in Portland and is an Exec for Consolidated Freight. She goes to "Outings" as she says, and will tell me what type of beer my uncle had/has. Then he will call, and tell me how it was. Usually about the time Ive run dry on beer..... Wildmer ( sp? ) brothers has a really nice unfiltered Hefewiezen that they keep on Tap here in Casper at Old Chicago. IRRC, its from Portland. Im maybe wrong on that. I get it everytime. I love it. VERY Smooth.

But for after work, Im tired beer: Its MGD. Perferably Cans. So I can Drink them fast. lol. My Dad got me on MGD, and Guiness, Fat Tire, Fosters, and some others. Dark Beer is in the Genes and sometimes on the Jeans after a couple.

I'm very fortunate that I get to travel a lot for my job, and I've made it a point to hunt down local breweries & brewpubs wherever I go. The change in the market in the last five years is incredible, so much that most cities & larger towns have at least one restaurant that brews it's own beer. I'll support places like that way before subjecting myself to a restaurant whose idea of a microbrew is Fat Tire (not that there's anything wrong with Fat Tire). About the only time that I would consider drinking a weak domestic lager is after mowing the yard on a hot summer day, but I push the thought out of my mind & grab a real beer with some flavor instead. My rule of thumb: Avoid drinking any beer that looks like a urine sample.
