I was going through some old blog posts, specifically the once awesome and now defunct IBR Series, and noticed that I gave Black Butte Porter a simple 5 out of 10 on the First Beer scale. I'd like to revise that, as is my wont*. In truth, BBP (as we call it these days) has reached a level of enjoyment and basic availability that surpasses a mere 5. Invite some friends over for a beer and watch as their eyes light up when you hand them a frosty BBP. Know that to say "BBP" is to mean tasty beverage. Understand that most fine establishments carry the BBP around these parts, and it all makes for so much more than a 5.
What I am trying to say here is, "fuck the new beer drinker, BBP is awesome." I give it a 10.
Disclaimer: For the curious - I am in absolutely no way affiliated with Deschutes Brewery. I just happen to really like a lot of (but by no means all!) the beers they make.
* the word "wont" means habit. I didn't know that. I figured it had similar meaning to the word "prerogative." You learn something new every day! I have a wont of using words that I am familiar with in context, but not in actual definition, making for some interesting conversation when I'm talking with someone who actually knows what the word means. Or at least, I imagine it makes for interesting conversation because the opposite (that it just makes me look like an ass) isn't something I'd like to think about.
