Chris Stillwell: This is a fine beer. Give credit where it is due.
Brian Hughes is drinking a Calidad Beer by Calidad
Sold to me as "like modelo." This beer is to Modelo what filet mignon is to fatburger. Superbly made, delicious.. Pairs well with fresh caught lunch in Malibu and no expense spared.
Brian Hughes is drinking The American Cream by TAPS Brewery at TAPS Brewery + Kitchen
My first non-Pacifica beer of this Californication. Smooth and nice. Pairs well with hugging redwoods and finding a brewery i can take my kids to.

Brian Hughes is drinking an OctoberFest by Samuel Adams
I dont like this any more than you do, but dammit, they made a good marzen. By far the best of the tested Oktoberfest beers from the drive-thru. Beautiful color, nice balanced flavor, just a hint of roast, malty but not to sweet. Murrica Macro Marzen.

Brian Hughes is drinking an Oktoberfest by Great Lakes Brewing Company at Untappd at Home
Roundest and sweetest of the contestants, probably most like an actual German Marzen. Too sticky at room temp. Second place in the "Oktoberfest beers I can get at the drive-thru Challenge." Pairs well with a glass of water and drinking in the sun too long

First chicago beer of chicago trip. Tasty and repeatable. Pairs well with 8 hours on the road and a dee-luxe hotel room in the sky high high.
