Best Mexican lager?  Please don't say Modelo.  (I'm making borracho beans.)

Give me Bohemia any day.

Absolutely Bohemia.  It's a legitimately good Czech-style pilsner,  and not just "for a Mexican beer."

Ironically Occidental’s Fresh Hop Pils might be my favorite Fresh Hop of all time. Never expected it to come from a Pils!

Having one right now…along with several others at the Loyal Legion taproom location at PDX. This is the best airport bar I’ve seen. Went to Loyal Legion’s main location last time in Portland this is just as good selection-wise from what I can tell

Crazy good prices for an Airport too.

And this is how you do the place past security that has local beers to take on the plane for decent price and not old AF.

Bad news is our flight got delayed until tomorrow. FML.

@Iceman drinking an IPA. Maybe the world is ending this week.

At 9.5%, he probably forgot how bad it tasted after the first swig. I saw that Citrus Boom on the shelf for the first time a few days ago and thought they might as well call it Yucky Boom.

I actually prefer the higher ABV, typically but not always. With beer it often accompanies a deeper flavor profile, but that certainly isn't absolute- Guinness checks in at 4.2 ABV.   On a football Saturday/ Sunday, it's about a 1 beer per quarter pace. That was actually the first brewskie of the day after I had mowed the yard.

I also drink bourbon, so there's that, as well. Not on the same day...usually.

Made the most of our cancelled flight out of PDX yesterday afternoon by going record shopping at Music Millennium (open since 1969) and which always has (fittingly enough) Boneyard’s RPM IPA on tap to enjoy while browsing and later dinner at a nearby Italian place. Good times.

Saint Arnold - Cold IPA, 6.3% Alc.

Had hope for this one, but it's another IPA fail for me. Taste like grapefruit. Interesting in that it's said to be lager fermented. You heathen IPA lovers might like it though.

That would be right in my wheelhouse.

This seems like a backwards way to say it's a hoppy lager, and I've long been a fan of those (back to the days when Sam Adams made Noble Pils).

Speaking of Sam Adams, I wish they still made their Boston Ale. I haven't tried their Summer Ale, but its description doesn't encourage me too either.

Return leg through the UK so now testing out some of their finest low ABV brews. This one being a Brixton hazy IPA at 4.2%.

I miss that one as well, but Amber ales aren't exactly huge sellers these days. Full Sail used to distribute their Amber here, but no more. Same with Ballast Point. Not sure if the latter still brews that one.
