There are a few decent beers in cans these days, I can't think of the one but is has purple writing I think and isn't cheap. I don't remember seeing a hefe in a can, but you can get a decent pils or IPA. Bartell has Session IPA in a blue can on perpetual sale for $6.99 and is a very solid beer in my opinion. They also have a red can version that I don't care for, can't remember what variety it is. Lagunitas also makes several great beers in cans, but they are all hoppy.
I can be a fairly snobby beer drinker, but after a long day of hunting I'm perfectly happy with a cold, cheap beer. Coors light or Busch Light.

Blue Moon might be a good choice.
Not if he said nothing fruity.
Blue Moon is pretty fruity.

Nothing better after a hot day in the field or on the trail than a bullet.
A Silver Bullet.
If we're packing elk, we stage a few in the creek about a mile from camp - just the thought of that cold beer is enough to get me down the trail to that point, then the beer gets me the rest of the way to camp...

Ok I am not a big beer drinker. In fact, I take a 12 pack to elk camp each year for a 8-10 hunt and usually bring a few home. That is it for me for the year. I usually get Widmer Hefeweizen, but thought trying something in a can. I can smash them and not have as much garbage. Is there something similar taste that they carry at Safeway? Funny enough, I had an ice ice cold keystone light one day that someone gave me at camp after a long hot hike and it was really good. So any good ideas of what I should pick up?You answered your own question pard... Keystone light!

If I was buying refreshing beers for after a day of elk hunting, I’d personally get a good IPA. Lucille IPA’s are pretty user friendly. Not overly hoppy or bitter at all. No fruity-ness.

It’s the official beer of the Sportsman and ice cold is pretty tasty if I remember right?
Post by: PolarBear on September 12, 2019, 06:31:39 AM
Can you still find Schmidt’s??I think that Pabst discontinued Schmidt’s right before after they shut down our Tumwater brewery. Pabst, Oly, Schmidt, Hamm’s, Rainier, Lone Star, Pearl, Milwaukee’s Best etc are sll the same beer just not in the cool hunter oriented packaging.

After a hunt I prefer a light beer like Coors light. Nothing make me tired faster than a heavy beer. I can’t stand IPA’s. That’s probably from working at a piss beer plant for so long. 🤣

With that said my wife likes to just pick up random sixers for me to try, mostly she buys by the look of the label :dunno:, but thats fine by me as my beer fridge always a very diverse selection at any given time.
One that was in it recently that you might like was a Blonde Ale by Faded Flannel Brewing company (which sounds all hoody toody but is a label owned by Albertsons and brewed by some brewer for them but looks all craft so the hipsters will buy it :rolleyes:)
Or a tried and true beer you might also like that has been around awhile is a Scotch Ale by Pike Place brewing called Pike Kilt lifter.
Now me personally i would rather have a Blonde in camp then a Kilt lifter :chuckle:
But both are good and not over powering. :twocents:

I am a one a day beer guy at camp. Going to 9 days so need a 12 pack in case i slip an extra beer in a day or two. Going to look for Widmer in the can at Safeway. Or even Pyramid Hef in a can would be good. Not concerned on price as it will be the only beer I drink until next year so might as well splurge.
Total wine on south hill says it has cans in stock :tup:

The best beer by far is the celebration beer after getting the animal taken care of. It's our tradition to not go out for dinner unless the hunt was successful and that beer always tastes the best.

Yep... I'm trying stuff all the time. I can't stand the malty stuff. Also can't do stouts and not a big fan of porters. Mostly, give me some citrusy IPA's that aren't super heavy and I'm a happy camper. Session beers are typically lower in alcohol content so you can drink more of them over a longer period of time... a session....good ones for elk camp.
Well if we happen to stop in each other's camp we don't have to worry about the other one drinking all off our beer.
Irish Death and Black Butte Porter are my go to's. You can keep your IPAs, well maybe I'd have 1 or 2.

I just stick to the old faithfull. I mean, it did win a blue ribbon. PBR
Good 'ol Pabst...
Found this in Lake Washington where the old ferry use to be at the end of Madison street. It was buried about 3 feet down in the mud in about 10 feet of water. Circa 1900 based on the bubbles in the glass, and blob top that was melted onto the bottle

Rob that is really cool, do you look for old bottles specifically or was it a lucky find? Might not want to drink.that one...
I was looking specifically for bottles. had to dig down pretty deep to find this one! It still had the cork pushed inside the bottle too. I added a new cork and topped it off so it looks full. it was empty when I found it,

Awesome. I used to dig bottles as a kid but its been a couple decades since I intentionally found one. I may have to do some research on spots around where I live now
Post by: Rob on September 16, 2019, 06:30:19 AM
I found the research for bottle sites to be almost as fun as the hunting. Lots of Washington State History.
I limited my hunting to places I could hunt via SCUBA. It's nice bcs the bottom is always in motion due to water movement, starfish digging, ect. For the pabst bottle I was in Lake Wa at the end of Madison st in 10 feet of water. I found a dive scooter held backwards made for a great "blower" to remove sand and slit. There was always a slight current there that would move the cloud of silt away.
