Drink Hoptimus Prime Beer

This is why I'm posting this here:

a) I probably drink the majority of my beer outside, during outdoor activities.
b) This blog is dedicated to things I enjoy for their own sake, in and of themselves.
c) Even though this is a West Coast outdoors blog I am from Pennsylvania.
d) Transformers are cool.

Therefore, drink Hoptimus Prime Beer.
