Sadly, Oly and Rainier stopped being Seattle beer a long time ago. We’re a hipster fag micro beer town now. All the tuff logging camp liberal brands are ded.

Back then, Frisco was kind of part of the NW. The 49ers football and Giants baseball games were broadcast - it was the only damned real city close.

Ergo, Lucky Lager was a fine drinking choice amongst the Mad Men era dads. Since most of them had been stationed in Frisco, that made sense.

Sundays were the Raiders or Chargers on NBC and the Rams or Niners on CBS.

My mantra has always been there are no bad beers, some are better than others. That does not apply to Buckhorn or Rheinlander for me...Schmidt is Heineken compared to those two...

Schmidt beer was called animal beer for the cans



Take out every other letter and what do you have? was the common saying about animal beer. When I lived in Island County it was the number one seller.

Lucky always had the puzzles on the bottle caps - thus my love for Mickey's ...............Big Mouth



The one I used to drink the most of (other than Rainier which I was weaned on) was Heidelberg keg bottles

If we were going fishing, we'd get Schmidt with the fish on the can, even if it was a ditch pickle. If we were hunting, get the can with the deer on it. Vast quantities of animal beer were consumed in our quest for fish and game.

Some of those micro breweries will make lighter stuff that pays homage to those beers. They are really light, around 3%, and usually have some hipster name attached to them, but still. Cascadia Brothers in Vancouver has one, Crazy 88 named after the kill bill scene, that reminds me of Rainier.

So for down here in Whoregon @haie I like the Caldera Brewing Lawnmower Lager at like 3.5 percent. Also did a flight recently at 10 Barrel which had some light stuff that was tasty.

Yeah that is a good beer. 10 Barrel I drink a lot at blazer games since they have a pub inside the rose garden. If they have some lighter stuff now I'll have to dig into that more.

For Bend I still love Worthy. It's a bit out of the downtown areas of pubs but the venue is top notch. And Boneyard makes the best blood orange pale I've ever had.

Yup. That was it. You were either Darryl Lamonica, Roman Gabriel or John Brodie on the frozen tundra of sandlot football.

Can't remember who the Chargers had at the time. They were essentially irrelevant.

The cute (now hot) lesbian who would knocked the shit out the boys was a Raider fan.

John Hadle was your Chargers qb
