Read about 32 different beers and vote for your favorites in the second round. I, myself, prefer Yuengling AND Shiner Bock, but only the Shiner made it to the second round.

#22  Too many good American beers to name? What an excellent problem to have. Much better than, say, 25-30 yrs. ago, when young men would argue about the merits of Bud over Miller or Coors (couldn't touch Hamms, though). Blech.

#20  Beer, it's not just for breakfast any more...

Honestly, the microbreweries are turning out some of the best beers around. I've sampled a great many over the years (Anchor Steam gets me wired and gives me a headache, drinking Guinness to me is like drinking coffee (ie I get a kind of caffeine buzz from it), and Pyramid brews are just downright tasty). I'm fortunate in that Schooner's in Antioch is a microbrewery. They pour nothing except their own beers brewed on premises (I prefer the American Ale since it's lighter, but has a kick); they did turn out one beer that flopped (a watermelon ale; tasted like rancid watermelon rind), but all the rest have been great).

If you ever get to Antioch (for some obscure reason), visit Schooner's on Lone Tree Way and get a sampler of their beers. You won't regret it (and they also offer growlers).

#18  The list doesn't include Mendocino Red Tail Ale. This is an outrage.

#17  Shiner Bock = Liquid Gold (especially on tap)

So it's another poll Bill Gates is rigging.

#14  Arrogant Bastard is great. All of Stone's brews are great. I pick up a fresh growler when I'm in the neighborhood.

#13  China Poot Porter from Homer Brewing Co., Homer, Alaska. Grab a growler when yer down there.

#6  The West End Brewery in Utica, NY, (Saranac, Utica Club, Matt's) is coming out with Imperial IPA. I had a couple (8% yikes) and it's very good.

You know you've had a beer after that.

#2  Have any of y'all tried the Abita 20th Anniversary Pilsener? If you get the chance, do. Strange this contest contained only the only Abita brew I don't care for (Purple Haze).
