Re: (TV) New Verlaine CDs competition!

I'm no beer expert , I just know that I like a good dark beer, a nice 
stout or dark ale. Portland supposedly is one of the capitals of 
micro-brewdom, but I think 'dumb' might be the key phoneme here as there 
is an inexplicable, overwhelming love for Pabst Blue Ribbon around these 
parts. It's embarrassing. Can anyone please explain this weird 
hipster-doofus obsession with PBR ? That stuff is pure piss-water in my 
humble opinion.  Gimmee Fat Tire, Mack and Jacks, or even Tooth-Sheaf 
anyday.
