Sam Adams. Brewer/Patriot (printed on every bottle). I really like the Light.
But then I spent 6 years in German and can't drink those wussy light "lagers" most American's call beer anymore.

2006 Mustang V6 Pony, Vista Blue. Factory ordered.
2019 BMW X3 (Titled to the wife, but I'm always driving it for her. So I'm claiming it)
Old projects, gone but not forgotten:
1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it.
1980 Turbo Trans Am
1970 Mustang fastback, 351C 4Bbl, auto
1988 Mustang GT, 5 speed
1983 F-150 4x4, built 302

There are plenty of locally owned small breweries in Canada and the US to support if you are that patriotic about it. Portland Oregon is a good example. Our local is the Craig Street Brew Pub http://www.craigstreet.ca/?our-beer,12 They're not selling their products outside their walls yet but that'll happen soon I'm sure. I'm partial a good brew from just about any place  doesn't matter who owns it.

An old Yugoslavian guy I worked with told me he'd just close one one once he started seeing double... problem solved.

Stumbled on Land Shark on a trip to City Walk in Orlando. A Jimmy Buffet beer brewed in Jacksonville, Florida.

In Kansas City we have Boulevard Brewing, makers of Pale Ale & Unfiltered Wheat, among others. They will now be the biggest American owned brewer in Missouri! Steve

Personally I like the micro-brews. To name just a few North American Micro Breweries:
RedHook
Pyramid
Thomas Kemper (owned by Pyramid, soon to be owned by a NE brewery)
Hales Ales
Pike Place
Gradnville Island
Widmer
Full Sail
Deschutes
and on and on and on. There are over 165 breweries & brew pubs just in the Northwest alone. California and Colorado both also have a huge number... two of my all time favorites are Sierra Nevada and then Red Nectar out of Mendocino, CA.
Having a Sam Adams as I type this... Bjorn, that fridge you remember right now has 14 different brews in it... just waiting for anyone who shows up... Mmmmm mmmm good!

So that's where Land Shark comes from. It started showing up at the local corner store last month.
Tasted a lot like Corona.
A nice part about my move to OK City is that the friend I will be working with and most likely living close to (carpooling) has a Beer Meister. He'll have my favorite on tap soon.
