Have you had Moosehead?

I recommend Widmer Brothers myself.  I used to be a major Henry
Weinhard's partisan until Miller bought them out, changed the formula to
have what tastes like three times the water (an insult the local papers
reported the Weinhard family took personally), and closed the Weinhard
Brewery in downtown Portland (between them, and all the brewpubs, all of
downtown used to reek of warm beer on hot days when the wind blew the
brewery exhaust south deeper into downtown, instead of it's usual
northwest into the industrial district; oddly it doesn't feel like I'm
in Portland when it's hot out and it doesn't reek of beer now) and about
half the hops fields north of Salem.

On an aside about Miller making things suck, I was also quite fond of
Weinhard's root beer, which I'd pick up at school.  How Miller could
fsck this up is beyond comprehension (though it's still better than most
root beers out there, with the exception of maybe Souix City;  Henry's
is still the only one you can knock back a case of without burning your
mouth on phosphorus.

That's a pretty good site.  I like that a bit more than ratebeer.  My
guess is an OK beer starts around 50 and a good beer starts around 70 on
your site, if not just a a wee bit slanted towards the darks?
