From |brewery| search on maps.Google Missoula it appears there are at least a half dozen breweries / brew pubs in Missoula. You be a lucky man.

You have some definite reasons to be proud. Those guys rock. You’re also lucky to be in Florida during this time of year. As I write, there are blizzard-like conditions outside my office.

As I recall, we mixed a lot of the beers at McMenamins, especially at Thompson’s Brew Pub. We had the Rubinator, which was a combo of Terminator and Ruby. The Hamenator, Hammerhead and Terminator and the RubberHead, Ruby and Hammerhead. Good times.

Love the Arrogant Bastard and Fat Tire combos. Absolutely priceless.

Just participated in a beer blending where two masters mixed many different versions of Big Sky’s Ivan the Terrible into a beer that will bear their name as the 13th annual Bottleshops Anniversary Ale.

Take care,

Cliff Boley, another early Venti’s customer, told me about customers ordering beer mixtures, back in the day, largely to play with the names
- Fat(tire) (Arrogant)Bastard
- Black(Butte) (Arrogant)Bastard
- Fat(tire) Old(Coast) (Arrogant)Bastard

As I work on my MBA, Master of Beer Appreciation, I find that beer mixtures are less egregious than I initial though. Black & Tan is a common, even bottled, mixture. Hops Grill & Brewery, SE USA brewpub chain, feature beer mixtures on their menus.

?What cleverly named do you recall?
