    All right! So they'll be pouring Abyss verticals at Husky Field at Alaska Airlines Ballpark!?

    Mirrorpond is still my go to beer. Fuck off. They also have a citrus ipa that is always a solid choice and of course Black Butt is still a fine porter if I feel inclined to go to sleep after two beers.

    I'm pretty loyal to Deschutes. Maybe it's just for sentimental reasons.     I haven't found anything in the $8/six-pack range, that's available everywhere, that beats it since about 2014 or so.

    I've had many better.

    Don't care though. I'm claiming my Free Pub.

    @chuck I still like Mirror Pond. It's only 5% which make it sessionable.

    Deschutes suffers from the same thing Alaskan, Red Hook, Mac and Jack, etc. suffer from: They've been around forever, can be found in every gas station let alone grocery store, therefore are too familiar. Their beer that can be found everywhere, like the others, is solid but not spectacular. At one point, The Abyss was my favorite beer money could buy, then they started barrel aging it and charging a dollar an ounce. Just like with Red Hook and Alaskan, their specialty stuff that you don't find in any grocery store is great, and a visit to the brewery is totally worth it.

    The gas station a couple of blocks away has a walk-in beer cooler in which you can find any beer on Earth as long as it's an IPA. On most days, the only dark beers in the whole place are Obsidian and Black Butte (but you can choose from five IPAs from Fremont alone...), so I've pounded plenty of emergency Deschutes whilst watching my Dwags shit the bed against an undermanned skwaad.

    Just not for $8 per sixer. Seriously, @chuck, who's selling $8 sixers? You live in Mississippi or something?

    Safeway always has a few microbrews for $7.99. It's usually Widmer, Deschutes, or 10 Barrels type stuff.

    At least the Safeway I go to does.

    Haha I just caught the "you live in Mississippi..." question. Nope. Klickitat County is pretty close though (as is Wasco county across the river where Safeway is).
