But seriously, some great beer comes out of the Midwest. Michigan, Indiana, Chicago. Some of my current favorites are Sagatuck Neapolitan, Sun King Cream Ale, and the old King of Beers as a standby. |

I like all kinds of beer, Dutch, German, Belgian, Irish, Czech...
If I really have to pick a favourite it would be Guinness. |

I love hops and I'm always trying something new and managed to get myself addicted to Serria Nevada Torpedo, their extra hopped IPA. I was in New York and drank the local minimart out of it, and then went to Florida and did the same thing to two bottle stores and a supermarket. I'm back in FL next month so I hope they've restocked. |

I think beers brewed in Quebec are pretty good... but I might be biased you should try them if you can

With my current taste for barrel aged imperial stouts and barrel aged sours, Colorado is taking care of me pretty well.

For IPAs, I like the San Diego area- Stone, Ballast Point, Green Flash, etc. Something to do with the nasty tasting water (gypsum tasting) I believe. Mitch Steele, the brewmaster @ Stone has a gift, in my opinion.

HAHAHAHA... I read the title as "What religion makes the best beer". If that were the case, i'd have to say those Trappist Monks in Belgium. But now that I know what it really says, I'd have to go with New England. Im from the East Coast. I live in Washington. Close 2nd for me in the Pacific NW.

DIY home brewing (providing one has access to the right hops, high quality yeast, excellent malt and distilled water). Depending on space availability, you can either 'lager' it (refrigerated fermentation) or 'steam beer' it (fermentation at room temperature).
A great hobby (although it takes some time and practice to dial everything in just right). Nowadays, most commercial beers incorporate additives in order to streamline the production process and to add flavorings/colorations. |

Really? Sound very German if you ask me. As an Englishman I'm not allowed to try these. I had some great steaks in Japan when I was younger so my top beer is probably Asahi.

Q - Why do they call American beer......"sex on the beach ?"
A - Because it is f_ _ _ ing near water. You have no idea how many Americans we've gotten drunk with our much stronger Canadian beer. And that joke comes to me courtesy of someone from Wisconsin. There's some great beers down there too......Moon Man and Spotted Cow from the "New Glarus" brewery come to mind. |

Grew up in Wisconsin so can agree with above, but don't forget Minnesota, particularly Surly Brewery. They have 2 beers rated in the top 100 worldwide.

Back in the early 1980s, I recall having a Molson's for the first time. For a regular premium Canadian beer, it was a lot more potent than its contemporary American counterparts. The watering-down of mainstream U.S. beers has been going on for a long time. |

Good stuff Dr Bob. Fortunately a member here sent me some fresh bombers of Pliny a few months back. I enjoyed it SD has been ahead of the curve for the new wave of breweries in the US. Stone and Green flash were some of my go tos when I first got into craft beer and they still are |

DO miss living in Germany. Whether a great Heffeweizen or a Raedler Mass in Muenchen on a hot (by German standards) July day.
And you once owned a Chevette. Great on a bushel of Blue Claws though This is on of the few I have not tried. The Younger or the Elder Quote:
Tree House Brewing in western Mass is insanely good. VT's Sip Of Sunshine is still my favorite all around. Trillium can be really, really good. (Note to self, only 6 cans of Cutting Tiles remain) I can get Trillium most readily as the brewery is only 30 minutes north of the office. Being in New England has superb offerings for beer but still difficult to get as the good batches are gone in a day or two after a really long line for a small amount (TreeHouse). Maine Beer Co is great, Night Shift, Proclamation Ale, bunch more... Quote:
Side note - when you look at the BA Top 250 and only have had 24 of the top 250 you realize there is work to be done...
