John Wayne generation not heading out to grab beer for the big weekend. Also not over at the new car dealership picking out one of the attractive cars or simple pickup trucks of the 1960s and 70s.
My favorite beer styles are NW or West Coast IPA, German Pilsner and Mexican beer. Here, in the Grays Harbor area, German beer appears to be unavailable. That adds a certain mystique.
I live in an area where beer selection is limited:
Grays Harbor Beer Availability Report
Beer Availability Report – Washington Coast
The shelf space available is occupied with what is new and most popular. Fizzy, Kool-Aid colored hard seltzers, lite beers, super, extra light low calorie/low carb beers, etc.
I truly believe:
The best beers are the ones you enjoy most
No problem with any of what is available, but the traditional stuff/less popular labels get edged out.
