Actually I tend to buy Deschutes beers most often. Then New Belgium. Then Widmer.

*shrug* I strive for accuracy in most posts and make corrections as needed. lol.

Ooh, yes. I'm sad that my friend no longer works for Deschutes. We used to have so much free beer from them up at the old Oregon camping trips. Mirror Pond. MMmmmm.

I haven't seen it in a can, either. I was shocked to see it on the list. But, as it's ranked with Fuller's London Pride, I believe. ;)
