Deschutes? Not even the best beer in Bend -
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.HuskyJW said:Welcome to 1995

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. -

Deschutes sucks

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? -
This is the Pac 12. What do you expect?PostGameOrangeSlices said:Deschutes sucks

Safeway always has a few microbrews for $7.99. It's usually Widmer, Deschutes, or 10 Barrels type stuff.1to392831weretaken said: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.

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). -
I am forever reminder here that while I have an unbelievably refined cigar collection, I am the most unsophisticated dirtbag beer drinker in the world. Honest to God give me Yuengling, Coors or even a fucking Stella over all the super special limited IPA crap that everyone else does backflips for. I have NEVER understood the IPA/Craft craze. If I want pumpkin I'll eat a fucking pie. If I want beer Yuengling has been making a great lager for almost 200 years.
I get it. Different strokes for different folks, but the race to claim love for the weirdest or most niche and unfindable beer product has never made any sense to me. I don't even like the taste of most of it. Whatevs. I'll drink my Yuengling with the rest of the trash and stay out of highbrow skinny jean IPA hawt talk.
