Blue Moon in a can
Does it get any better than this? Blue Moon in a can? I thought Blue Moon in a bottle was good… shoot, Blue Moon draft is spectacular. I’ve got to say though… Blue Moon in a can is better than the others as far as my taste buds are concerned.
And you thought delicious beer couldn’t come in a can… ha!
Blue Moon in a can is now available at Safeway.
Laurelwood – Mother Lode Golden Ale
So I’m hanging out in the Gate E wing of PDX or Portland, OR airport for non-natives and I find out there is a Laurelwood Public House & Brewery on this section of the airport.
Suck it Dan.
I’m a huge fan… to say the least. And it’s still inexpensive prices compared to airport prices.
Over the last hour or so I’ve enjoyed a few Mother Lode Golden Ales. Not gonna lie. Delicious. You need to run out and get one of these delicious bastards.
