    My grandpa brown bagging it and my grandma and her brother having his back in Bend in the early 90’s IMG_1936.jpeg

    That man could out drink every Irishman around and lived to be 90 despite smoking 3 packs of Liggette’s a day

    Being in the beer business, I can tell you that while White Claw is still the #1 seltzer, I feel like sales have dropped on it since last year. Everyone is really still all about Coors Light here in Oregon, and Modelo as well. I sell a lot of that these days....Constellation (Corona, Modelo, Pacifico, Victoria) has a 45% share in the Portland beer market right now....that's just insane. Twisted Tea overtook Mike's in the flavored malt category last year, which is no easy task. Mike's has been the king for years. There are a lot of good seltzer choices out there; Topo Chico and Lone River Ranch Water are tasty.

    Modelo in a can is one of my favorites. I prefer most beer in a can over bottle. I feel like it’s got a better ‘glug’ to it, if that makes any kind of sense lol.

    Modelo is really good, but I like Pacifico even more. To me, it's the best of the big three.

    Agreed. Pacifico is great.

    My favorite is between Pacifico and Sol. Can’t really find Sol everywhere though

    I used to really like Pacifico like 10 years ago.

    I'm still championing Green Dos Equis. Also like Corona Premier and Modelo.

    Deschutes came out with a tasty Lemonade Shandy.

    Bend Brewery has a good sour called Ching Ching.

    I stayed at a resort in Mexico where the beer they on hand was green dosequis. By the end of the trip I didn’t want to have anything to do with it. Not my favorite.

    Point Blank salesman tells me the banana one is surprisingly very good, and he is not a seltzer guy at all. Very into darker beers and IPAs.

    I like it in the can too, only downside is that it’s harder to put a lime it but a lime isnt necessary. It’s nice tho lol

    Couldn't find the Banana but got the 12 pack of Happy Dad and tall cans of Death Row Records (Grape) and Fruit Punch.

    I'm disappointed. Not as good as I had hoped. Lone River Ranch Water is much better.
