#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).

#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.

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

#15 Plugin is to view is not one available in Linux. Only previous version.
So it's another poll Bill Gates is rigging.

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

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

#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).

#21 I don't know if they are still there but Cambridge Brewing Company in Cambridge, Mass. had excellant beer in '91-'92.

#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.
