Beer C: Henry Weinhard Dark. $0.89 per pint. (Sale. List price $1.04 per pint.) Caramelly dark beer. Brewed lager-style. Produced in the Blitz-Weinhard brewery in Portland, Ore., which has several unusual traits. Over the last 20 years it's been passed, in a game of beer hot potato, among these corporate parents: Pabst, Heileman, Stroh, and most recently Miller. This brewery is where the Boston Brewing Co. makes a lot of its West Coast supply of Sam Adams. Chosen for the test as the one "dark" beer in the mix.
