Noticed a 48 F1 (I think) on a bottle label yesterday. Normally I would pass it off as something cheap but this one is from Deschutes Brewery and it's called Hop Trip. For those who have graduated from coors light and pbr, this stuff doesn't suck. I do like a good recreational beverage.
Deschutes is the brewery I contacted last summer about having their logo painted on the doors of my truck when it's ready. They said come by and we'll discuss it. Better than a straight up no.

Never tired it and likely can't get it up here in Canada but thought I'd post a pic fer ya.

 

Thanks for that. Now I have to go open another one because I'm thirsty. Actually, you tend to drink less when you get good stuff. There's a reason it's not cheap! I do keep some big company crap around for the wife and her friends though.

They had a baseball cap you could buy with their logo on it as well.

 

Wow that's NEAT! I'm going to have to buy 2 six packs - one to drink and one to save a bottle from! tee hee.

I wonder if we can get it in Ca?

well they're located in Bend Oregon....so maybe?

 

Truckdog got me a bottle when he visited his son in the NW. I don't drink but I had to have the bottle.

 

I've got a case of it stored in my son's basement waiting for my next trip west. I've got it worked out pretty well. My daughter-in-law is from Michigan and can't get her favorite "Bells" beer out west, and we can't get the Deschutes beer here. So we do a swap. I loaded up on Bells when I went to visit thechassisman recently so I'm set.

As I understand Deschutes does not ship outside Oregon, but that may just be to states that have taxing issues. I've not tried the beer either, but have a couple bottles of it on the display shelf next to a couple bottles of the Bonus Built wine that's been talked about on here before. They're sitting there with the Marmon-Herrington hat that 1952henry gave me. Add a few model trucks and it makes a nice display.

 

I've bought Deschutes in Florida before. Just look up beer distributors in the yellow pages. It's amazing what they can get their hands on if you're nice to them and they feel liking helping.
Life was a lot cheaper when my favorite beer was whatever was on sale.
Julie-This isn't the kind of stuff you get in a six pack. 22oz bottles and these go for $6-$9 a bottle depending on where you find them.
I contacted the brewmaster last year and asked if they would be willing to help out with the finances if I was to have there logo painted on my doors. I love the looks of old trucks with lettering on them. Like I said, he didn't say no. I'll probably do it anyway. I really like their beer.

This is my kinda thread here.

Hey guys, where's bobbytnm? This thread has got his name all over it!!! Its got beer and bonus built trucks (his idea of heaven)

I'd like to see Coca-Cola with a '56 F100 on it on the bottles in a vintage look.

 

there is a brewery in colorodo called new belguim that makes a beer called 1554 that is one of my favorites. I just have to drive to beaumont, TX about 45 min away to get it. I pretty much love beer and will be looking for this particular brand next time I go to specks.
