I'm sure I will be taken out for drinks and beer will be the drink of choice, but I've always been a low-brow beer drinker. I'm a Miller High Life kind of guy. When I feel like splurging I get Moosehead or maybe a Peroni. Yeah, I'm a lager guy.

Is there a Eugene or Oregon lager that anyone can recommend? I don't want to diss the local beers.

The google provided some useful info:

Full Sail Brewing's approachable Session Lager came in at No. 1, with two other Oregon beers making the top 10 -- Ninkasi Brewing's Venn Dortmund-style Lager and Caldera Brewing's Lawnmower Lager.http://www.oregonlive.com/dining/index.ssf/2015/03/surprise_oregon_lager_ranks_no.html

At least I won't appear as a complete neophyte with these three requests.
