Oh you poor poor man.... They get Ranier up to the hinterlands, but not Red Hook? Damn. I'd be jumping on those ships and demnading them to pick up a few cases of real beer when their pulling out of Seattle!

At least in AK, you've got enough ice to chill those "Near" beers and Kokanees down to a taste-bud-killing temperature!

Well here in AK where we DO have sled dogs and live in igloos....Ranier and Kokanee are the Chevy and Fords of beers. Whole hockey teams have fought over such discussions...and frankly, every time we try to play a Canadian team up from Whitehorse way--we need all of whichever we can get!

P.S. Kokanee is as Premo as it gets...although I grew up a Molsan Canadian man myself...

I don't recall Fletch ever saying Kokanee was "premium", just cool mountain freshness. We (Americans) already have that with Rolling Rock and Coors, but we wouldn't be as ashamed to drink a Kokanee in public!

Just had a nice 25oz Alaskan Amber during lunch today. Yum! I love business trips!

Trout et al,
In my shame, I forgot all about Canada Day. As a Michigander, and therefore honorary Canuck, I feel it is my American duty to honor the traditions of our northern brethren. I have no Canadian beer to drink but, as luck may have it, I *do* have a French Canadian in the house to thoroughly trounce this evening.

Your Southern Neighbor,
Andy (The White Wolf)
