The nearly intact Full Sail bottle pinned down this particular shot, but as I looked at it today I was kind of astounded at the large percentage of these bottles that once held good beer. Without trying too hard, I can spot 3 different Deschutes labels, 2 Widmers, a Spaten, a Hales, and a New Belgium, in addition to the Full Sail bottle. It kind of illustrates what a great market Portland is for quality beer, and how we tend to drink pretty locally.
Can you spot any other good stuff in there? Click the picture to get a bigger version.
I spy Bud Light, Canada Dry, Newcastle, and a neck collar that I'm pretty sure is MacTarnahan's.
ReplyDeleteOK, let's omit the Bud Light. But Newcastle is a nice find, I see it now. Is the Mac's neck the one right in the foreground?
ReplyDeleteJust to the right of the Optimator bottle is what I think is Mac's.
ReplyDeleteIs that a Bridgeport on the left under the clear bottle?
ReplyDeleteHarry, it doesn't look like how I remember the back of a Bridgeport label, but they have changed the packaging lately, so maybe it is.
ReplyDeleteNow I wonder if I see a Sierra Nevada Celebration in the top right corner, just above the "OR" of a Mirror Pond label.
When I lived in Portland I collected my empty bottles (for homebrewing) from recycling bins. Far more than anything else I saw Widmer bottles followed by Deschutes. I didn't see too many Bud Lights.
