The Ongoing Beer List
20 Mar 2008 in Beer by GarrickOn the tail of a Twitter conversation on Wisconsin beers and a renewed interest in homebrewing seemed like a perfect time to write up my favorite beers.
Top 3 Anytime, Anywhere Beers
- Affligem Abbey Blond

- Rush River - The Unforgiven (note to self- get these guys on the podcast.)

Killing time on a beautiful spring afternoon at the train station near Hannover:
In Belgium on vacation:
Weekend on the river in northern Wisconsin:

- Leinenkugels Creamy Dark (after sunset with a campfire)
In Minneapolis (or Portland), watching a local bike derby under pouring rain in October with empties as the course marker:
- PBR
Reading William Gibson

Luke Francl added these pithy words on Mar 21 08 at 9:00 amI loves me some PBR tallboys but if I was in Portland, that’s the last beer I’d be drinking! They have so many microbrews to chose from that you can’t get here.

I know, I know…
WILL try it next time I’m out!
