I enjoy big double IPAs and Stouts/Porters. Anything with big bold flavors i usually enjoy. I live in a good area for craft beers being in Portland Oregon! So i try alot of new ones regularly. Had bought a copy of Wild Guns recently and it showed up yesterday so i celebrated a little and enjoyed two of my favorites, Perfect Storm & Hop Henge! Also tried a new one that i think you guys'll appreciate! Couldnt pass it up! Even found the perfect game to go with that 1!

Pabst Blue Ribbon, Miller High Life and Grain Belt Nordeast are what is normally found in my fridge. Fosters is great too but a little more spendy.

My default "go-to" beer is Sam Adams (or any seasonal brew that's available). Other favorites are Shock Top, Guinness, or Red's Apple Ale., depending on my mood.

I crack myself up

One time when I was like 3 or 4 my dad and I were at the Kroger/Fry's getting something to cook for dinner. We stopped on the way in and we both got a soda, and I got a root beer. It was one of the IBC in a glass bottle. Through the whole store he was messing with me, asking me "Is that a real beer Dominic? That looks like a real beer..." "Put that down! You can't drink beer!" and I kept responding "It's just a root beer". This went on for like 30 minutes, and I got progressively more insistant as it went on. He was laughing his ass off. "Have you ever tasted a real beer? How would you know if it was one?" At this point I was half yelling it "It's. Just. A. Root. Beer.". Not 2 minutes later, some old lady tries to come up and say hi to the cute looking little kid, and I YELLED "IT'S JUST A ROOT BEER!" and she like shit herself. Moderately amusing story.

Gawd. I used to always get the A&W in the glass bottles when I went to Red Lobster as a kid and my family would do the exact same thing to me. Eventually, someone actually gave me a small sip of Coors Light or whatever they were drinking and I spit it back up on them. That was the last time anyone hassled me about Root Beer, and ironically, the last time we went to Red Lobster. I think I won on both accounts.

I don't really like fish, but it's hysterical to watch the looks I get when I make a meal of 3 or 4 baskets of cheese roll things that they bring out free.

I dont drink often, but when I do, I usually choose to pick up Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier. If not available (which it never is if Im at a restaurant), I like Stella Artois or Heineken.

You have the right idea. Those cheese rolls and the cheese sticks are where it's at. The fish there is crap. Red Lobster and Long John Silvers were the only fish places in my hometown for a long while, and I always saw more cars at Long John Silvers.

I just don't really like fish at all, but I used to eat the hushpuppies at LJS when my family would go. I thought it was dog meat for a while when I was little... I wasn't am not the sharpest tool in the shed

I like Killian's and Smithwick's with a meal.

Bluegrass Brewing Co. (local) has a bourbon barrel stout that I like.

I don't really have a single go-to, I like a lot of different beers.

It's probably easier to list what I don't like, lol. Bud Light, Bud Select, and every single Pale Ale ever made. Yep much easier to list

I'm huge into craft beer, my favorites being sours, specifically lambics from Cantillon and Drie Fonteinen. I'm looking for someone near Tillamook, Oregon and also someone near Capitola/Santa Cruz, CA to help me grab some local beer. Shoot me a message if you can help.

I'm perfectly content drinking Keystone/Coors all day every day.

If I want to get fancy I drink Red Stripe or Sapporo.
