Its pretty local to the Northwest. Brewed in Eugene, Oregon. There is a huge beer culture here so I feel bad about not trying everything I can, but I like the price and not having to run to the store very often too much.

 

PNW transplant myself (Olympic peninsula, Washington)! I love Deschutes (which is available in Indiana too, I found out after coming home for the holidays), Elysian, Hale's Ales....some of the best beer I've ever had in my life I've had in the Northwest, and I wasn't even a beer guy until I moved up there!

Concentrated basketball. In all seriousness...I find it that I can't focus on the things that "matter" to me (its the whole coach thing again) if I drink alcohol or too much sugar...so I prefer to sip on a coke or have a water. AFTER the game is a whole different story though. If its a weekend game...skys the limit...if its a weeknight game..maybe a beer or 2.

What's your gin of choice?  I'm a big fan of Bombay Sapphire or Hendricks. 

 

He said college student so... I'm going to guess Gordon's. We've moved almost exclusively to Beefeater in our house. Partly, I think, so I'd stop singing Gin & Juice when we got Tanqueray.

Deschutes is good stuff. I was already a beer snob before I got out here because my uncle has brewed and collected beer my whole life, and the beer culture here isn't helping at all. While I've moved away from trying new bottles as much (because I'm cheap and lazy) I always have to try new drafts when I'm out. Recently discovered Astoria Brewing Company though I can't find their cans even two hours away from the brewery. Amazingly full-bodied and hoppy. It could enter into my new favorite beers. I have to find some cans to grab before I see my uncle again. 

Anyone use untappd? Here's my totally weak page. I never remember to rate my beers and am always more focused on getting back to drinking than thinking of how to describe them. But, I'm trying to remember it more often so that I avoid drinking the same beer multiple times unless it's stellar. https://untappd.com/user/Jetpackjunky/

Well back in the day it was the keg of miller light as we road to the championship in 87. 

 

These days it is a variety from rum/coke, fireball/angry orchard, to the trusty old miller light. 

 

Now for the craft beer types, I have a recommendation.  Yazoo out of Nashville, TN (not IN).  Their Hefeweizen is awesome.  Forced my dad to pick up a couple of cases on his way thru town.  Will have by Saturday's game.

I drink way too quickly during games for some reason, just take a sip every time I get nervous (or happy lol).  So I usually try and stick to light beer.  You can drink miller lite all night long haha. 

 

all the craft beer talk has got my mouth watering though haha  love it.

Ballantine Ale, which is impossible to find in Indiana, was what I drank during IU-UK 2011 (I had just recently picked some up while visiting friends in Cincinnati). Ever since then I've been convinced it was good luck, but I can't find it anywhere, so I generally just stick to some sort of cheap beer, lately it's been Hudy Delight. Next time I'm in Cincy I'm going to stock up, and we'll see if lightning can strike twice.

Ah, Hudy.  That was our official beer for IU rugby.  I didn't play for the IU team (actually, played for Indiana State club team while going to IU).  IU was great, we were, um, not.  But, the parties were legendary!

For being owned by Pabst, they have terrible distributing.

do strictly White Russians and channel my inner lebowski, if only I could find a candy striped robe then I could finally take my fandom to the next level

Sometimes I mix it up and do a few Lindsay Lohans with some cheap beer (I'm talking Walgreens Big Flatts cheap) just to throw in a little variety and keep 'em guessing

They're a little tight to be the trademarked candy stripes, but it'd accept it if I saw you at a game.
