Re: Beer Cruising
Best to have a friend bring the beer.

Before I am found guilty of being an Arrogant Bastard, I salute you all as comrades in the pursuit of happiness...
BTW, If we could sail there, I would have recommended Vermont, Montana, and Colorado.

Traverse City has a few as do most of the small towns. Never cheap but always affordable.

After a hot day of working on the F'ing boat, I agree, mass produced swill has its place (as long as its almost freezing and you can't really taste it anyway). I usually keep some Bravaha Extra around for this purpose. At Q58 per 12 pack in Guatemala, that's about 61 cents per can.

Re: Beer Cruising
I'm so very very proud that no one has promoted the general US swill (Bud?!?), and have actually called it out for what it really is.
Must be a boaters good taste!

Re: Beer Cruising
PNW. May I suggest Bellingham WA with the San Juan islands to cruise and at least four microbreweries, several of them award-winning (check out Boundary Bay). And, for a place to enjoy beer while working on your boat, Port Townsend WA is pretty special. Especially if you have a wooden boat.
Cheers,
Annie

Re: Beer Cruising
Micro beer selections like that are everywhere in New England. All the large outlets have a micro beer display taking up about 5 yards of refrigerator space. My favorite is Ipswich but there are so many.
I just wish a few would sell their product in cans. No bottles allowed on the savboat except at the dock.
If you are ever in Newport get your propane tanks serviced at the place on Coddington Hwy. There's a brewery next door.

I've had Amnesia and 21st Amendment in cans... Or this link might have a local for you... Top 10 Best Canned Craft Beers | GreatBrewers.com... before craft beers were common, I'd buy a slab of Carling Black Label cans...

Just took this while grabbing a six pack at the grocery store... I forgot to mention yummy Fort George Vortex which comes in 16oz cans. Pretty sure that is an 8pack of 21st Amendment in the box.
