I consume about 3 beers a week.

If consumption is the goal, skip beer completely and go straight to Everclear or Bacardi 151. But before you do either give someone else your keys.

I don't even like to try new beers usually, but I threw caution to the wind and sampled several different draft beers.

4 beers cost me $25, $30 with the tip. I enjoyed the beers, but I ain't doin' that on a regular basis.

And most bars sell shit beers for 5 bucks a pop these days. Wow. You saved a whole 5.00?

Man, sucks to be you guys.

Around here, at most bars, a "pint" (they often use the 14oz wannabe pints these days) of craft beer runs about $3.50-$3.75... less during happy hour (found one where craft beer was 2 bucks recently).

Portland has more breweries than any city in the world (58). The Metro Area has 83 total. The state has 221.

They made almost 50,000,000 gallons last year.


(Since I coincidentally just came across a page with 2014 beer stats.)

I enjoy craft brews (and imports more-so) I just don't feel the need to drink them exclusively for every occasion.

I just can't imagine an occasion where I'd drink shitty, tasteless beer. And fortunately I can afford to drink decent beer on any occasion.

Fortunately, crafts are becoming much more readily available in cans of late, which changes the dynamics of fishing (which pretty much requires cans).

One of several reasons I seldom visit bars any more.

Same here. For 1/4 a normal bar tab I can drink good beer at home and get the same kind of buzz on.

Depends where, around here. Oregon is a liquor-control state (lame), and if a course sells beer, they're an "OLCC Facility," subject to OLCC regulation. One of those regulations, be it a golf course or bar, is no outside alcohol (exception being you can bring wine to a restaurant, but the employees must open and pour it). And just about every golf course around sells beer, and they're supposed to throw you out if they catch you with outside alcohol. So yeah, if you want to load up the bag beforehand, it better be cans.

My buddy and I often play a crappy course, because the only courses remotely close to my house are either overpriced, or geriatric tracks. The crappy pasturelinks isn't too bad a jaunt for late afternoon trips, and it's one of the rare BYOB courses. Sure, the greens look like the surface of the moon, but after 10 beers I'm not making many putts anyway.

And fishing -- if I'm hiking the bank, I'm not packing out bottles. If we're in the boat, I don't need bottles clanking around and taking up space. Cans it is.

Craft beer in cans are readily available in the grocery stores, not so much in the convenience stores/gookmarts.

I was talking about beer from the course beverage cart. You know, college hottie driving around the course, selling you beers and mixed drinks. You guys do have those, don't you?

Of course my girlfriend Bev makes the rounds with rounds, at the majority of courses, anyway.

Who'd want to get all pissy-pantsed while fishing for an afternoon? That's when I throw a bottle of CC in the tackle box and have a 3-paper joint.

Sippin' whiskey and shoreline fishin'. Good times.

You have never been fishing in Oregon so shut the fuck up.

When you get in a drift boat on a 60 degree January day, and you start nailing fish in the first ten minutes, the beers start to go down good, or in my case, a Stanley thermos full of good fresh ground coffee and a flask of Baileys, and somebody pulls out some good Oregon home grown bud, you know you are going to enjoy the next 4 to 5 hours. Had a couple of those days lately.

I will have to behave next trip, we will be taking my 6 year old grandson along, and we will get him into a nice fighting 8 pound or better steelhead to hook him on that hobby for life.

Shoreline fishing in our area requires too much driving to catch much of a buzz, but still beats a day working.

Don't you understand, Goobs? You have to drink shit beer regularly to maintain your appreciation for good beer.

I don't get it either.

Here's to being at a financial point in your life where you do not have to rationalize drinking pisswater.

I drink 3 beers on the way to get beer.

The best thing about winter? You don't need ice or a cooler.

Baileys? My wife puts that shit in her coffee. Does your husband fish too?

Recipe for homemade Irish cream:

1 can evaporated milk
3/4 cup Irish whisky (I use Bushmills)
2/3 cup sugar
3 tbs Hersheys syrup
1 tsp vanila
1/2 tsp instant coffee

Put everything in one of these, shake well and store in refrigerator.

We often take an 8 year old. Driver of boat/truck takes it easy, and we sneak off during shore breaks to puff.

But last week, it was indeed a 60 degree January day, and we might have got the drift boat in the Clack by about 11:00.

Went OK.






NOTE: Yours Truly wasn't drinking the Keystone Light. I'll drink nasty dreck and enjoy it, but light beer just makes me ill.


We did a quick afternoon voyage on the Wilson a couple of days before that (Mills to Sollie, had to go to Tillamook anyway), and the one we got weighed in at 1 fin too heavy.

Yeah, not like it's the most prized freshwater fish in North America or anything... dumbass.

You will have to excuse this Commiefornia moron's ignorance about world class steelhead / salmon fishing. He probably has never put a fishing pole in his hand, and if he did likely it was catching some fucking shit eating carp.

Only a few of us can live within a hours drive of at least 8 premier fishing rivers, and a 2 hour drive from multiple world class trout fishery's, or 3 hours and experience world class fly fishing. This does not suck.

Props to Sierra Nevada for the Pale Ale in a can, it has made skiing, wakeboarding and fishing much more enjoyable.
I just noticed that 21st Amendment is breaking out a new line in cans, catching some nice trout, stripers or kokanee is going to not suck with a Brew Free or Die IPA in hand.

OK bitch, I am going to try that recipe, seems interesting, although that instant coffee thing seems a stretch.

Socals do freshwagter fishing....
Brown Trout from the Tijuana River.

There happen to be more than a few fish that eat pretty well that have scales. Of course, you do kinda want to remove them first

It's a small amount. Don't fuck with the recipe. My wife puts it in her coffee all the time. Way better than paying $18 a bottle for Baileys.

I dont give a fuck what kind of water it came out of, Im not eating anything with scales

You should hook up with missjo. Pretty sure she doesn't have a scale.

You limit your seafood consumption to shit-eaters?

Explains a lot -- GIGO, and whatnot.

That's because you don't have the brains that God gave to a rock and you have the taste buds of a shit eating mogoloid. You are a fucking mess.

I would imagine enjoying a wide variety of beers would mean you have the opposite of a shit-eating mongoloid tastebuds, but that's just me.

When I am in an area where I can get it, I'll nab an Allagash White on tap for sheer deliciousness.

Not when some of those beers taste like shit.

Disgusting.

What don't you like, the brand itself, Belgium whites in general, or something else entirely? I found it very reminiscent of Zott beer, a Belgium white I've had in Brugge, Belgium. Truly a world class beer.
