Drinking Now: West Coast Offense, Sticky Bear

SATURDAY, AUGUST 29th, 7PM

A day off from work. Took my daughter around a bit. Had some In&Out for dinner (brokeass dad). Dropped her off and started a drinking session at local beer bar, Out Of The Barrel (again).

First was the “Sticky Bear” from Moonraker Brewing. A WCIPA. Enjoyed it:

Now I moved on to “West Coast Offense” from Cellarmaker Brewing (pic at top). As you might have guessed, it’s a WCIPA. It’s drinking really “hot” but it’s only a 6.3%…still good though.

Currently battling my beer budget to see if I can get myself one more beer.

Craft Lager Beers Good For Watching a Fight

Here’s a list of craft lagers that are perfect for a boxing match or any big event. These beers offer more depth and character while staying refreshing and easy to drink:

  1. Firestone Walker Lager – A clean, classic Helles-style lager with just the right amount of malt sweetness and crisp finish.
  2. Sierra Nevada Summerfest – A Czech-style pilsner with a bit of hop bite, perfect for fans of flavor without heaviness – it doesn’t matter if it’s not summertime, it will still hold up.
  3. Victory Brewing Prima Pils – A German-style pilsner with floral hop aromas and a balanced malt base.
  4. Oskar Blues Mama’s Little Yella Pils – A refreshing pilsner with a touch of honey-like malt and crisp hops.
  5. Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold – A smooth, slightly sweet lager with a hint of toasted malt and a crisp finish.
  6. Jack’s Abby House Lager – A New England craft favorite that’s malty, smooth, and perfect for sipping during a fight.
  7. Brooklyn Brewery Lager – A Vienna-style lager with caramel malts and a touch of hops for balance.
  8. Deschutes Da Shootz! – A light lager with clean, bright flavors and a sessionable ABV.
  9. Modern Times Ice – A super crisp lager with a dry, refreshing finish and just a hint of complexity.
  10. Anchor Brewing California Lager – A historic recipe with a balanced malt profile and just enough hops to keep it interesting.

If you don’t feel like searching around town for one of these give GoPuff a try and have one delivered.

These options cater to your beer-appreciating fight crowd and bring something unique to the table, while still being accessible for any beer-drinking crowd. Which of these catches your eye?

P.S. I would like to add a local shout-out to Tioga Sequoia Brewing’s “Red Wave Light Lager”!
