Smart way to sell beer. An easy to read date on the outside of the box:
Tried this one years ago, when my brother brought some over. Always liked it. Have not seen it for several years, until now. Was in a 12oz can last time I saw it.
The beer photo fetish page features a true grab bag of different beer styles and brands. We’ve been at it since 2012.
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.
“Weinhard started making beer in Portland in 1856, when the city itself was just five years old. Now the beer named after him, and brewed locally since 1976, has been discontinued by parent company Molson Coors.”
“Molson Coors CEO Gavin Hattersley announced the company will be discontinuing the beer, along with 10 other economy brands, as it shifts it focus to premium brands and newer offerings like hard seltzers. He made the announcement in the company’s second-quarter earning report.”
They must have changed their mind, because I have seen Henry Weinhard’s Private Reserve out and about at several locations in recent months.
Went out this afternoon and was looking for Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Went to two locations. One had an old date-looks like they no longer stock it. The other location had a not so new date.

A good part of my high school years in the late 70s felt like they were sponsored by Rainier Beer. We pronounce it Ray-Neer. It was brewed in Seattle at the time. That was a good city in the last century.
We are watching Longmire again and enjoying it.
Sheriff Longmire drinks the same and calls it something like Rahneer.
I like his old school style. He drives the older SUV. His lockback knife is more like what was popular in the 80s. Uniforms are interesting and casual. The Sheriff wears what looks like a winter coat pretty often, even if the weather seems warm. Vic wears her uniform shirt unbuttoned at the top with sort of roll in the hay kind of look. Not much in the way of standards in place. The older vehicles in the show are appreciated. The truck driven by Henry Standing Bear is an example.
Winter weather note: The last few days have been great for keeping beer cold in the garage at this location.
Here is one I have enjoyed for years now. Found it at Aberdeen Safeway on Jan 1st. To me, this one has a nice Euro-pilsner flavor. I like it, and have not seen it in the Grays Harbor area before.

At about :30 below, Darwin describes the golden/tasteless lager brewed by big American beer companies during the past century.
Miller, Bud, Schlitz, etc. were popular when I was in high school. I call these Bowling Alley Beers- thinking of a typical Cold War era bowling alley.
Winter is officially here. Tent camping for most people is now in the offseason.
Image above is taken near the very modest bar area here at home.
Last year, I posted a camping blog with many photos reaching back over the past 20 years and one image of a camping treasure from the 1970s. Here it is:
Not drinking many IPAs these days. Experimenting less. I have always enjoyed this one. Purchased a six-pack this week. 8.2% ABV, similar to the alcohol content of 2 bowling alley beers.

Last week, we took a trip up to the Olympia, WA Haggen store. This store has a huge beer selection.
Both of the German beers in the photos above were available at Haggen. Love it.
We can report that Radeberger beer (1872) now has label markings indicating that it is vegan:
I do not shop for beer because of this category, but always good with people who take joy in it. Wonder if beer always is/was vegan. How about gin, tequila, etc. All good with me.
Let’s go with a review:
Time for some fun:
In the rich world of fantasy where I live, I would be hanging with the five individuals who produced the reviews above.
