German Pilsner
One of my favorite styles, and one that can be hard to find in the local grocery store.
An enthusiastic review:

Sun came out.
There’s a rush hour out there somewhere.
A really nice beer. Always enjoy this one.
Looking like a good date:

After a month of storms, ferry links shut down, Hood Canal bridge closed, etc., the sun made a showing today.
Happy Sunday.
Really enjoy the IPA style, but the alcohol content can be a little high.
Pairing a Mexican beer with a decent tequila probably brings the alcohol impact right back up, but we are celebrating a calm & sunny winter day.
This one has more of a Brown Ale feel.
I prefer a NW IPA style.
Why is the can in the photo sealed?
Because sometimes, it’s windy here and an empty can will get tossed around during the photo op.

Fremont Interurban IPA.
I would reach for this one again.

Calm, dry and gray until early afternoon. A good winter day for an outdoor work session. Temps around 50° F.
Took care of a few minor cleanup chores in the yard. Many more similar days and we’ll be all caught up.
What Puget Sound area grocery stores have the highest turnover (freshest dates) in the beer section? Need to learn more. Hate to spend $10 on a six pack & find out it’s not at its best.
Used to buy German Pilsner at Haggen. No longer seeing it. One of the most difficult styles to find.

Alpine, Wyoming is the home of today’s brew.
Right on the Idaho border.
I’d reach for this one again.
Total Domination India Pale Ale – We’ve been this way before.

“Heineken? Why it’s the finest beer in the world! President Kennedy used to drink it!”
Not everyone likes this style, but there are many choices out there for many tastes.
Positive reviews:
A wintry night in an area surrounded by maritime culture.
A review with personality:
I’m going to contradict articles that tell us beer is skunky because light gets to brews shipped in green/clear bottles.
Here is a detailed article explaining why I am wrong on this.
I’m not convinced.
Here’s why:
The skunk is known and desired by some.
Beers shipped in green/clear bottles taste just about the same when tapped from a keg or poured from a can.
Beers shipped in green/clear bottles are packaged in cardboard boxes/containers that do not let light in. No light gets to the brews until they arrive at the place where you purchase them. In many cases, you may take the beer home and leave it in the cardboard box/container until you put it in a cooler & dump ice on top.
Skunky flavor even when shipped in a can:
Ditto:
Similar flavor here:
Zero flavor here (skunky or otherwise) even though shipped in a green bottle:

Illegal beer drinking at Kingston.
Dozens of taste tests of this brew reveal no skunky flavor.
Not even one time.
Monica is back in the house.

What it looked like last time I had one.

Thank you Spencer.
I really enjoy this one.

A friendly shop with a very large selection.

Probably some of this going on too.
A beer that brings little in the way of flavor or alcohol content.
Maybe just right for when Seattle temps push into the 90s. You can always add a kick with the tequila of your choice.
A little cooler closer to the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Not a favorite at this tasting.
I have noticed several craft brews in recent months that show no date on the bottle. Is this a trend? Anybody know more about this?
Helpful household hint:
Unused beer and wine can be added to compost. “The yeast in both beverages gives a major boost to the decomposition of your organic materials.”
