I'm not talking micro-brews or some 90 minute IPA with a picture on the label of a bear riding a salmon down Niagara Falls while a caricature of a brewmaster (some bearded man in thick glasses and a flannel shirt) holds one of his testicles with a French Glove and cools the other with a Chinese fan. Yeah, I'm not gonna hate on those, they have their place, and I'll drink'em if there's a special. But when I talk about local brews, I mean something different.
Chicago has its Old Style, Pittsburgh has Iron City, and Milwaukee has, well, where to start? These beers are cheap, they taste like water with a hop thrown in, and they get you drunk on the real. These drinks, they're uniters. The hipsters drain'em along with the union guys. The Camel smokers along with the Newport Smokers. Local Brews, you are the bomb.com.com.

Reingold, and old brooklyn beer started to make a comeback against the mighty PBR in nyc, but it was lashed backed into its rightful place of obscurity and polarized bars where hipsters don't venture.
also - i know a dude with a tattoo of the natural bohemian guy to remember his days in B-more.
all and all good looks on the local beers.

South Dakota Party Quota?
...actually, now i remember, the south dakota beer of choice is meth
sounds like your talkin about living the "High Life"
portland has numerous local brews or semi-local (as in, in the state). all of these are "fancy" though. it's at those times that go to my birth-state's cheap brew: olympia beer... or, "Oly" as we endearingly call it. Oly is cheap as fuck and tastes like shit. my dad and uncles used to drink it when they had the old-school opening mechanisms on top that belong on a WWII grenade.
on a side note, at home, me and a few friends bought our mutual friend Ben a women's second-place bowling trophy. the arm had broken off, so we weren't entirely certain it was a bowling trophy but it was either that or a birthing trophy given the position and we didn't think that an olympia can of beer would be appropriate for a second-place birthing trophy.
