Ah, summer...

Tiny by Phildopip on Comment 353 comments

Finally, FINALLY, summer arrives this weekend. Temperatures down here in Portland are going to be pushing 100 degrees, and it looks like all you Seattleites will be enjoying near-90 degree temperatures. So, in celebration of summer, I'll crack open a beer.

Great Divide Samurai Ale isn't very well loved on beeradvocate.com, but I don't care. It's refreshing, it's tasty, and I enjoy it, goddammit.

So friday. Beer topic.

You know what I think is an underrated summer beer? Anchor Steam. I wish it were cheaper and easier to get here, but I think it’s good a nice complex taste to it that just fits well with a warm/hot day.

Also, that Anderson Valley Creme Cerveza was right on.

Oh yeah, Anchor Steam is tops.

It was one of the first craft beers I ever really got in to, and so I always (mistakenly) put it in the category of stuff I’ve moved on from, like Pyramid, Big Sky, etc. And then I have it and remember how fantastic it is. It’s a great companion to Scotch, too.

They have it on tap at the People’s Pub, but I haven’t seen it on tap anywhere else. I haven’t had any trouble finding it in stores, though, and it’s usually not all that expensive.

As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball.

Anchor Steam is on tap at Piecora's Pizza in Cap Hill

along with Boundary Bay scotch ale and Newcastle Nut Brown Ale.

Boundary Bay Scotch is fantastic

I, and many others in my class, covered city council with a heavy buzz during Journalism 301 many times thanks to trips to BB. As for Anchor Steam Summer, I live in SF now and that stuff is EVERYWHERE. Bleh. I actually get excited to drink a Redhook now. Oh, how I loved AS and Sierra Nevada before I moved down here.

Anchor's porter is fantastic, too.

My only issue with Anchor Steam is that they managed to patent the Steam Beer process

I would love to see what some of the other great brewers could do using that same method, but alas it is illegal. IIRC it is the only method of brewing a beer that is proprietary.

It is a great beer though.

Snoqualmie makes one called Steam Train

but I don’t know if it’s a “this is as close as we’re gonna’ get” type of thing or what. It’s pretty meh.

The Mult Village one is my favorite of the three

the NW one is really sterile and bland, much like most of NW, but the one in the Village is really cool, plus they make great pizza. And yeah, their beer’s really good – the IPA is good, I think the Maibock (sp?) was good too but after several IPA’s they all tend to blend together.

So how about some good beers I can pick up on my daily shopping route?

I go grocery shopping at Winco, Albertsons, and Safeway. None of these places seem to ever have any of these good beers you people regularly talk about. In fact when I went to Albertsons today the only one I found was one type of Rogue. I live in Puyallup, can anyone recommend a good place to shop for these beauties?

by marinator on Jun 27, 2008 11:44 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Safeway usually has a few good beers.

I’m basing that off the Safeway in Ballard, though, so I dunno’ if it applies. Is there a Top Foods in Puyallup? They usually have a good selection.

They always have a great selection.

As far as chain grocery stores go, I haven’t seen a better one. They always have Morimoto in stock, which is a huge check mark in their favor. I wish there was one closer to me than SHoreline, I miss Top Foods.

I don't shop at Top Foods, I'll give it a try

I’ve been to QFC and a couple others searching with little luck. I’ll head over there and see what I can find. Thanks.

by marinator on Jun 27, 2008 11:57 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, QFC is a waste of time.

And not just in the beer department. They’re more expensive than Greenwood/Ballard Market (which are both really expensive) and their selection and quality is on par with Safeway’s I hate QFC.

Top Foods should definitely have some good shit.

The Haggen stores are the same company as Top Foods.

So you’ll find the same, if not better, beer selection.

As a sidenote, I work at their Stanwood location and oddly enough the most commonly stolen beers are Negro Modelo and MGD.

Lets see...

From their online list: https://shop.albertsons.com/eCommerceWeb/ProductListSubmitAction.do?action=getSortedProductList&aisleId=35&categoryId=731&subCatName=All+Domestics&subCategoryId=1789&fromPage=categoryPage&currentPage=1&selAisleId=35&selCategoryId=731&selSubCategoryId=1789&aisleTypeId=3&selAisleTypeId=3&bcAction=getProducts (sorry for the long link, I’m in a hurry) I would drink these:

Alaskan
Deschutes
Fat Tire
Widmer

That’s the domestics, I don’t have time to look at imports.

Half of those beers I either completely missed or they don't carry it

and since I spent at least 10 minutes scouring their walk-in freezing cold beer section I’d say I’m right. Though they do have some decent ones. I’m looking for more of the 5-10 dollar imports. Some days I come home from work and I feel like having some really good brews, and I can’t ever find any.

What if the Mariners ever go to the World Series, I’ll need something better than Pyramid or Fat Tire!

Ahhh summer is right....

BEAUtiful day in MT. Me and a buddy are getting summer off right with a nice 2 nighter in the Beartooths. Its a fairly short hike, but a couple three thousand feet of elevation gain. I can’t imagine a more boring series this weekend (specially if Felix isn’t throwing). No better time to take in some alpine scenery and dynamite trout slaying;

Enjoy the weekend everyone!!

Does anyone else here enjoy Leinenkugel?

My girlfriend from Chicago introduced me to it, and I really like it. The sunset wheat is great, but I found this one the other day (Summer Shandy). 1/2 Beer, 1/2 lemonade. Is it a bitch beer? Maybe, but it is delicious. Any thoughts?

That was my thought too

But as I sat there at the liquor store, I thought, “I’ve never had a bad beer from them.” So I decided to give it a try, and it’s one of the most refreshing beers I’ve ever had. Obviously really light, but so drinkable. It went great with huge hamburgers…

Shandy or Radlers are pretty common

but I’d never buy them pre-made like that unless tehy were discounted because as you say you’re paying half for lemonade. Buy the beer and lemonade sep and mix and it’ll be a better value.

So true.

I prefer to make home squeezed lime aid and mix the beer with that. It is the drink that Budweiser and Miller are bastardizing with their lime beers. Beautiful drink on a super hot day.

They're trying to make pre-made Corona with a lime.

But in Corona it at least has a reason.

The lime sits atop the bottle so you can disinfect with it after it’s been sitting in unsafe ice.

My favorite beer any time of year is Mirror Pond, and it goes great with that.

However, I am not a big stout or porter drinker so I am not sure how well that would mix.

I think you are safe doing that with any ale though. It can work over ice too. Sometimes I put in a dash of salt to open up the taste buds for the lime.
