i've been in love with most of what Deschutes Brewery puts out, especially the black butte porter, and they just had a seasonal ale that i loved. i was wondering what some of the best beers are in this region? (no big-time commercial beers)

it sounds absolutely ridiculous but i really like humboldt hemp ale... i'm not a stoner and i thought it was just a beer trying to appeal to those who smoke, but one night someone ordered a pitcher of it and i really liked itit has become one of my favorites

good call! stone brewery is amazing as well.
sierra nevada
Alesmith Speedway stout is a good one if you like liquor flavored motor oil... which I do.
karl strauss, san diego area
Marin Brewing company is great.
Green Flash, Lagunitas, Russian River, Bear Republic, and Stone.
that should cover it.
Arrogant Bastard is rancid, but the bottle is cool.
I suppose that as the bottle puts it "I'm not worthy."
Oskar Blues Brewery from Colorado. The only craft brew sold in a can. Dale's Pale Ale tastes like a tangy East Coast IPA. Their Scotish Ale tastes like a Trappist Ale. Damn good stuff.
Arrogant Bastard is nothing more than a gimmick to sell beer. Yes, the bottle is cool, but you can find it practically anywhere. At best, it is as good as Killian's, but that is a stretch. Most people I see drinking it are typical Coors Light drinkers that want to appear cool. Stick with the Coors Light. You are still drinking swill, but at least you are not wasting money on it.
I'm not sure about California, but Anchor Steam is sufficiently delicious.

haha well it's a good gimmick. but i disagree, the only people i know who drink arrogant bastard are people who are really into beer, maybe not beer conosieurs, but close. I dont think casual coors light beer drinkers can get past how hoppy it is to actually drink and appreciate it. i'm brewing my own batch in a couple days and i think i'm going to try to make it an arrogant bastard imitation!
