Pearson book mentioned in my earlier comment:<br /><br />"Clayton had stopped in for saltines and potted meat, a fresh carton of chew and a twelve-pack of that brand of discounted beer that tastes like ambitious water and is heavily represented along the margins of the roadways where the cans and the pasteboard cartons end up and the customers sometimes too."MightyToyCannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523823158706838012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-29674117940832958772009-07-31T08:20:33.324-07:002009-07-31T08:20:33.324-07:00Well Shobiz, you seem to have broken the poll!

Seems it really WAS a bust; the service provider has been down for maintenance this morning, but we'll continue to play with things that live elsewhere on the internet in order to bring our readers fun new technologies and conversation-starters.<br /><br />It was my intention to withhold several popular brews from the list in order to generate some good comments like yours; "what about x?"culturejockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263465772349376129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-10688845253494954882009-07-30T16:52:38.602-07:002009-07-30T16:52:38.602-07:00For the record my current favorite Portland beer i...For the record my current favorite Portland beer is Widmer's Drop Top amber. I'm also a big fan of Black Butte Porter, and though this runs contrary to many people's opinions of McMenamins ales, I actually love their Terminator stout.shobizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471300080193371502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-80101310379975536002009-07-30T16:49:58.032-07:002009-07-30T16:49:58.032-07:00Hmm... the poll didn't seem to record my votes...Hmm... the poll didn't seem to record my votes for Widmer Hefeweisen and Bridgeport Blue Heron. I also respectfully suggest you could use a few more choices. How were the beers in your poll "nominated?" Dangerous territory you're wading into, calling for Portlanders to vote for "best beer." ;)shobizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471300080193371502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-39868347016010044922009-07-30T13:39:26.603-07:002009-07-30T13:39:26.603-07:00Uh oh.

Pearson's novel, "Polar," he has the perfect description for light beer: "Ambitious water."MightyToyCannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523823158706838012noreply@blogger.com
