Awww come on Bob...The least you could have done is sit that beer to something even vaguely representing a repair. Oh wait, Maybe it was the final finished product?
Good beer and shiny metal, what could be better?

I read NYTimes' regularly and their beer reviews there might as well come from another universe. By definition, microbrews are definitely regional/local-dependent. Microbrews rule, lagers don't. I was in heaven at the De Chutes brewpub in Bend at the end of August. Next thing to heaven is spending New Years weekend in beer-topia -- Madison, Wisconsin, right now. Find your zen and appreciate what you enjoy.

In America, Alamo beer made in Blanco Texas and Shiner 101.

Hansen's Fruit Smoothies.
Hi, I never liked beer. Gave up on RC Cola, Coca- Cola, & Pepsi- Cola. switched to Hansen's Fruit Smoothies and never looked back. Actually stopped drinking any alcoholic drinks about four decades ago.

Beers have been a long time favorite around here...
Current Fave has to be Anchor Steam Beer - made in good old San Francisco for many years... Anchor Brewing | Beers | Anchor Steam
Check here for more of the West's more notable beers: Breweriana For Sale & over 50 NW Brewery Histories
Back in the 60's during my Bachelor days, living and working in SF at the Kenworth Truck dealership, Lucky Lager Beer was one of our customers...Lucky's mechanic would let us buy cases of 'short fills/dents' sold after work on Fridays only, for $2 a case!!! Needless to say, Lucky Lager was a BIG Fave due to its price... http://www.brewerygems.com/lucky.htm
I had a Corvair Spyder Coupe at that time, and I could ice down several cases in the front 'truck' for some fun summer time beach times!
Coors has always been a favorite standby - I do believe the 'water' has a big influence in a beers lingering taste... The SF beers get their water from the SF public supply which is piped all the way from the Sierra Nevada Mts, just north of Yosemite - great quality water for making beer...
Here's some interesting history of Coors... Adolph Coors Company -- Company History
Earlier in working career, while in college, I worked at an electronic company that made high power vacuum tubes (among others) for the old Dew Line radar complexes designed for early detection of any Rusky attack from the North/west...a major component of these 'tubes' were cylinders of ceramic purchases from Coors Ceramic's plant in Colorado - right next to the brewery...We had a couple of former Coors employees that used to fondly remember going over to the brewery after work for their free 'cool ones' right from the Company tap...yummy! Advanced Ceramics Since 1910 | History of CoorsTek
Years ago, we vacationed in Mazatlan for several seasons, on Mexico's West coast...Mazatlan is home to Mexico's Pacifico Clara Cerveza...The brewery is not far from the port there, and we would run over there to get fresh Pacifico's by the case for CHEAP!...Pacifico also bottles in a large bottle (about a quart) called a 'Ballena' (Whale) that's popular with the beach crowd - seems to stay cooler, longer...Those were some great kicking-back days in the sun down there!... Pacifico Brewery
Hey, beer is mostly water - got to stay hydrated, right!

The state of Georgia left it up to the communites to vote for beer sales on Suday. My community voted yes, but next door a few miles away they voted no.
Ruben sandwich and beer I had three times over the holidays. I have to agree with that combination.

Personal favorites are just about anything put out by New Belgium Brewery followed by whatever regional microbrew I happen to be near at the time.
Rumor on the street has it that NB is going to be building an expansion brewery on the East Coast, one of the finalist areas is Asheville, NC Did I hear someone say RALLY?

chillpoints,
I would have never guessed that Ashville would have been at the top of that list, thats almost a reason to visit right there.
gsmithii,
Thats a long list of tastings, impressive. I also staved off thirst while visiting China with the help of Tsing Tao, even drove past the brewery.
This is good.
Now where is a micro brewery/real true worth the trip pizza joint all in one?
I hear Red Solo Cup playing in the backround.
And next will be a classic from Tom T. Hall:
I Like Beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow, whisky's too rough, champange costs too much and Vodka puts my mouth in gear, this little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I LIKE BEER!

The real ales in England are a real treat... particularly the various bitters. There are lots of local specialties to enjoy as well. Ahh..

I found canned Tecate with a little salt to be a great hangover treatment on a hot day, way back when hanging out in Juarez was a low-risk activity.

For the winter brewed up two batches. One is an Irish Red the other is a Belgian Triple. I tend to like Ales. the triple had 6lbs of ferment-able sugars including 1 lbs of Belgian rock candy. It brewed out at about 11% so great for a dark winter evening.
If you happen to find yourself in this area do a little research before you arrive. We have plenty of great adventures including the Asheville Brews cruse. Asheville Brews Cruise
I am willing to make recommendations as long as you invite me........

We did the tour last summer with Susan's brother who visits Asheville regularly. The downtown area has a number of micro-breweries and saloons that feature locally produced products. Many within walking distance of one another. Some of the best beers I've ever tasted. We, too, were surprised that all of this existed. It had been a number of years since we were up there and things have certainly changed---a nice added touch to such a great city. We highly recommend a visit.
This "micro-brew culture" was completely new to us. Of course we have had many fine beers from these type breweries before, but had never experienced visiting these establishments directly. In several of the breweries, you literally sit next to the brewing equipment. Enourmus tanks of fermenting glory all around you. You can go in and order a "flight", which is small sample serving of several different beers brewed/served in the establishment. Find one you like and you can order a "growler" of said libation to take with you. A growler is essentially a reusable container that holds maybe about a gallon of beer. Keep a couple handy and get 'em refilled next time your in the area. Needless to say, I was in heaven.
If you're ever near Asheville, go check it out. Great way to spend a lazy summer afternoon.
Jim

I can't stand Consumer Reports for many reasons, but this report only reinforces my impression that they are at a full disconnect from the real world. There are so many fantastic beers made right here in the USA. In the 21st century, microbrewers are more akin to vintners. My first experience with beer was Schaeffer, and that put me off of beer (in the sickest way) for about 10 years. "The beer to have when you're having more than one" - seriously?!
Milwaukee has been punishing beer drinkers with bad-tasting, additive-laced swill for long enough!
Beers on my favorites list:
Guinness Draught
Left Hand Milk Stout
Left Hand Polestar
Founders Centennial IPA
Bell's Oberon
Dogfish 90 IPA
Highland Kashmir IPA (almost anything they do is fantastic)
Highland Oatmeal Porter
Widmer's Drop-Top
Terrapin Hopsecutioner
Terrapin Monk's Revenge
Lagunitas Lil Sumpin Sumpin
Magic Hat #9
Old Meck Mecktoberfest
Sam Adams Latitude
Sierra Nevada Torpedo (OMG, so good)
Red Stripe
Sam Smith Imperial Stout
Saranac IPA
Saranac Adirondac
Shiner Bock
Shipyard Fuggles IPA
If you're drinking a case, you're drinking the wrong stuff.
