If you can bring me back a couple six packs of Blue Heron, I will be forever in debt to youDougW8 said:Now that there is one close, I can pick it up more often. In fact, that was my first purchase. I'll be up in Portland for a few days starting Sunday. I plan on sampling lots of brews while I'm there. Hope I can stay awake during my conference.
I agree with that choice. I found it while on an Alaskan cruise two years ago. Then recently a local restaurant has it on tap and I actually found it in an Alberstons.roenick said:I have said it before and I will say it again:

Another favorite is Firestone Double Barrell Unfiltered. You can't get it at the store but at the brewhouse it is mighty tasty.........
Azagthoth said:I LOVE Firestone Double Barrell. Possibly the best microbrew out there.
Haven't been to the brewhouse, if i ever go i'll try the unfiltered.
If you are ever traveling on the central coast the Firestone Brewery is in Buelton across the freeway from Pea Soup Andersons. I think they just opened another one in Atascadero right of the freeway as well but I haven't been to that one.Azagthoth said:I LOVE Firestone Double Barrell. Possibly the best microbrew out there.

quick question..... how many of you know that czechvar's real name is budvar and that its the ORIGINAL budweiser?go said:For a Pilsner, try the ones from Plzen, Czech Republic.
Pilsner Urquell and Czechvar are a couple you can find.

That and the Pintail were my 2 favorite beers before Bridgeport stopped shipping to CaliDougW8 said:I brought a couple of six packs back last year, but I drank them before I ever had a chance to get them to you. I'm flying this year, so may be a bit harder. I'll see what I can do. Really, I thought 1 six pack for me, 1 for John, Ok, 7 bottles for me, 5 for John. Well, I'm sure John would be happy if I saved him 3 beers. Some indication of the quality of that brew. Maybe I should just arrange shipping while I'm there.
so, was it any better than A-B's version?I've had a Budvar in Prague and I was told it is not the original Budweiser. Urban myth.
Arrogant Ba$tard said:The Budvar was equally dreadful. I think both breweries should just go away then. Terrible stuff. And no one should be an expert on Bud.
thanks for the heads up! I should pay them a visit next time I go up north to see my grandma.GALLY said:If you are ever traveling on the central coast the Firestone Brewery is in Buelton across the freeway from Pea Soup Andersons.

I highly recommend dropping in for a quick taste if you are in the area. They also have a really good chili if have a chance to stay for a meal....

is this the beginning of the Beer Of The Week thing?

I will gladly pay you for the beer, the shipping and a six pack for yourself. Hook a KJ up!
