That might have been worth a chuckle 20-30 years ago.
But so called craft beer brewing is a thing now. Close to 10,000 and growing across the country. The beers they produce are far from "close to water"
Crawl out from under your rock and visit the 21st century.
First, that quote is attributed to a Monty Python bit which explains the American reference. Second, I've been drinking micro's from just after the Oregon legislature approved in-house brewing (brewpubs) in 1985, while you were nursing a Natty or Milwaukie's Best.
It was a joke, get the stick out of your ass.
BTW - If you're at all interested in getting an education about the history of microbrews of Oregon (arguably where the much of the movement was born) here's a short documentary produced by Oregon Public Broadcast some years ago:
What other Oregon beers should I try outside of Deschutes, Lester? I like fresh squeezed very much. I've got a couple great beer stores near me that would probably stock them. I'm open to all types, partial to IPA's which I have plenty to choose from here in the state south of you.
I wish I could give you a better answer than the one I'm going to offer because first, I seldom drink IPA's anymore. As I indicated, I was around during the first wave of microbrews and I got burned out on IPA's. There were way too many 'stunt' beers being produced. When you start putting pumpkin, chocolate, apricot and God knows what else in the recipe you've lost me. These days I'm drinking Pilsners, Kolsch's and Japanese-style dry lagers.
Second reason I'm probably not the best person to ask is I seldom drink anything in a can or bottle. In my neighborhood there are probably a dozen or so brewpubs or micro breweries within walking distance. If I want to take something home, I'll just pack a growler with me and get it right out of the tap.
That said, a google search of Oregon microbrews is as good a resource as any. The thing is, if you're making a 7 or 8 on a scale of 10 product, you're not going to be in business very long around here. It's that competitive. Stick with any brewer that's been around for awhile and you're probably not going to get burned. A couple of places that I can vouch for are Stormbreaker and Von Ebert. Ninkasi made in Eugene has a lot of fans as well.

It was a joke 20 years ago. That is my point. It hasn't been funny in that long.
Liberals have a hard time grasping the concept of humor. Why do you think Air America failed.
I would considered that a radio fail, not the content...
Woke dominates podcasting...
Unlike many other traditional media formats, radio has managed to adapt to the massive changes brought about by the proliferation of mobile internet. While traditional radio may be in a state of relative decline from its heyday, people in the United States have shown that they appreciate what it offers as source of news and entertainment. New, internet-based or online radio platforms now account for over 585 million dollars’ worth of streaming music revenue and the format continues to grow with each passing year. The decline of over-the-air radio is, in many ways, being offset by the growth of its online counterpart. One example of this is advertising; over-the-air radio station advertising revenues have fallen by over four billion dollars since 2010, while online ad revenue has grown by a similar amount.

Sure seems to be a fair amount of conservative political commentary in the top 25.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

You might of got that from the same article I read earlier. This article thinks this boycott may have staying power.
Another thing it says is Megyn Kelly is critiquing Mulvaney and Nike for doing sports bra ads with no breasts.

AB InBev.. ticker symbol BUD is up $5 a share since Jan 1 and up $20 a share since last October. And up $1 share since yesterday.
Nothing to see here, ghouls, move along.
InBev is still down 4% since April 1st. That sounds like a lot. I'm thinking billions. May be a buying opportunity unless they do something else stupid.

4% sounds like a bad month to me… but not like a lot by any means.

Really? A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon your talking big money.

When we are talking hundreds of billions of dollars… you got it about right.
