I tend to drink beer only in the fall/winter. So it's time to start seeking out some brews that are new to me.
The other weekend I was at The Horse Brass, an awesome English pub in east Portland. It's pretty authentic in atmosphere, and they serve beer at the proper temperature. They have a huge selection on tap, including cask-conditioned ales and rotating guest taps of both domestic microbrews and international beers. Their food is also damn good, which I guess makes them not-quite-so-authentic as an English pub. Anyway, I enjoyed a Hofbrau Oktoberfest and Spaten on tap. Both were quite delicious. I got burned out on hops shortly after coming to Oregon, thanks to the glut of IPAs. I tend to go for maltier, less-bitter beers.
What are your favorite lesser-known beers, at least by US standards? No Blue Moon or Sam Adams, please.
