I tend to stick to beers brewed in my own neck of the woods. This isn't to say I haven't tried some of the beers listed above, because I have, but I just prefer the taste of many beers from Oregon and Washington. Plus, there are so many damn good micros and craft beers to choose from here. We were well-represented at the Great American Beer Festival.

Lately we've been drinking a lot of this:


And a bit of this:


If I'm not drinking a dark and spicy winter ale I like beers on the hoppy side of life. Double Mountain Brewery in Hood River makes a spectacular beer using fresh hops called the Killer Green. Double Mountain is a small brewery that doesn't bottle, so it's only available on tap at one tavern in town.

I don't drink ambers, generally; they're usually too sweet and too malty for me. I prefer strong ales, porters, stouts, IPAs, IRAs, and the like. I do enjoy a good wit in the summer; luckily we have a very good craft brewer here in town that makes an amazing wit. Kolsch is also a good summer beer.

I love beer.
