Big Time will have some random new thing I'll try during the season.
Hellbent brewing and everything else is very forgettable.
It kind of makes sense that they would be inferior to Vantucky, the Peninsula, etc. -

Zoiglhaus and Occidental in PDX really excel at the Eurofag type syles that I like. Pfriem might be my favorite overall craft brewer in the PNW.
Bend is a little too IPA centric for my taste but still good overall. -

But once we start getting into the price point of these fancy pants limited edition bottlings @1to392831weretaken I switch over to bourbon and single malt. -
Pfriem's BA 12 oz. bottles are actually an amazing value. At less than a dollar per ounce, it's really hard to beat. Just had a cognac barrel aged imperial stout last night. Before that, the wife and I split a 750 of Sump from Perennial Artisan Ales (talk about a brewery that can do no wrong). Were I to do it again, I would have reversed the order of drinking, as the Pfriem was a little harsh after the super smooth Sump.YellowSnow said:

I don't really have an order to favorite breweries in the NW, but more a list of buy-on-sight if it looks interesting. That list is:
Structures
Wander*
Pfriem*
Ex Novo (new addition)
Cloudburst*
Fremont*
Ft. George*
North Fork (for sours)
*In all of these cases, the basic year-round beers are pretty ho-hum and not worth the money, but the special releases are a gold mine. -
That's Dark Star, and it's a great base stout. If I'm drinking something like that, it's more of a "what's on sale" between that, Worthy's Lights Out, No Li's Wrecking Ball, Ft. George's Cavatica, etc. Lots of great imperial stouts in a can out there in the $12 range for a sixer.YellowSnow said:

But I only like GOOD beer. I'm not special release guy. -
IMO, Fremont's non-BA stuff is all forgettable. Their year-round pale and IPAs are mediocre. They raised prices way too high on the BA stuff and I quit buying them because of much better value out there from other breweries like Pfriem, as @1to392831weretaken mentions.
-
Also, if none of you have had Anchorage Brewing's hazy IPA's and BA stuff you are missing out. Best I've ever had of both. 12 oz. BA bottles go for $40+, though.

All are great, but the variants with coconut in them do not age well and the coconut totally falls out of it. Coffee Cinnamon B-Bomb and Spice Wars are both awesome. Two of my favorites.1to392831weretaken said:YellowSnow said:

There are some new kids on the block that are pretty good, like Silver City in Bremerton (Or Gorst).BleachedAnusDawg said:I remember my scotch ale phase.
But whenever I'm in Montana, I pick up a case or two of Cold Smoke. I'd drink it all day, every day if I could.
Before Antifa Fags killed the Bridgeport in PDX, I picked up some Scotch Ales there that were very close to the best beer ever, which was Grant's Scottish Ale. Unfortunately, PDX has fagged out so severely I won't even cross the river anymore. Fuck Portland. Go Vancouver. -

The problem with beer is that once you have the good stuff, it's harder to appreciate the basics. I like dark beers, and usually sours when I'm looking for something light. To me, just about any non-BA beer is forgettable at this point, as I know what I'm comparing it to. Anymore, I just drink more rarely and spend on the good stuff when I do. There are some very good non-BA imperial stouts that are actually some of my favorite beers (I've already mentioned Abraxas), but the ingredient list makes them also pretty pricey, and they're really hard to find. Wander did a cherry, vanilla, cacao imperial called Envoy that, at $7 per pint, was an absolute sweet spot for me in price:quality, and I pretty much bought the whole town out of it two years in a row.

If I'm going to drink that sort of thing (light, nothing special, session beer), I can get a case of Negra Modelo or whatnot for far cheaper. -

I don't like the IPA hop wars, so yeah agree mostly.
I think reasonable people can agree there's a place for the all malted barley craft beers (e.g., Pfriem regular cans) between adjust grain Yella lagers and the special release stuff.
Pfreim's pale ale is perfect example. IFL the classic 5.5% to 5.9% pales with like 25- 40 IBUS. Nice alternative to my usual pilsners w/o having to drink faggy @haie IPAs. -
EMFA you beer snob haters...

Hate to break it to ya, Yella, but Pilsner and Kolsch are the faggy beers.
