    Longhammer IPA. Its an ez drinker that gets a bad rap. While not a true full blown american IPA its great ice cold on a summer day.
    I must say I started drinking this when it was Ballard Bitter and from what I can recall it was much better then. Of course its recipe changed when AB bought it and its not quite like it used to be......which isn't surprising. One of the originals from the West Coast movement.......

    did you find 6 packs? I was only able to try it when my gf bought the variety pack with only 2 in it.

    Pacifico all the way, love the way they make water taste. Also Alaskan Amber, not bad per say, but not great either.

    I exhibit tickers' syndrome, so I don't understand the question.

    Yeah, I've probably gone through a case of the stuff. I imagine it will be out of season soon so now is the time to stock up.

    On occasion, I drink PBR and Old Style. But there are factors. If I'm drinking those beers, I either drunk and I can't taste anything anymore, broke, or at a punk show that doesn't have anything to offer. Although these beers are not my go to, i don't mind drinking them sometimes.

    One thats harder to find that's several notches above pbr is Shlitz 1960s formula.
    Makes reminence about what beer was like without all the craft and conglomerate AAL's there are now.
    They may have used their share of adjuncts back then but they still crafted some quality brews back then.
    Our taste buds have evolved over the years because of increases in availability of different styles non regional ingredients and the blending of the arts and science of brewing blazed by the pioneers and experimentalists being carried on and expanded so well today.....WHEW. Ain't beer great!

    PBR, Schlitz, Miller high Life & Blue Moon are tolerable, but probably only drink those once a year.
