Since Washington has had over 250 micro breweries, I've been a bit of a PNW beer snob. Instead of buying 211's or Mikes/4locos I've preferred to spend the extra buck or two to drink quality ingredients that wouldn't afflict me with a debilitating hangover. I generally buy craft and microbrews from WA, OR, or CA. For a couple years now I've been happy paying $9.84 for a six pack of Lagunitas Maximus.
