Fucking liberal, pro-wine network.

Not having St. Louis on there is silly. That whole city revolves around beer, and not just A-B. They have some great beer events and festivals for all the craft breweries in the city and region.

SF is a relatively lame beer town.

Chicago and the A deserve Hon Mention.

I'd put Denver #1

With the addition of New Belgium and Sierra Nevada in the next couple of years I feel certain that Asheville will climb higher on that list in years to come.

Hell, they've won the Beer City, USA title the last three years without all of those there yet (tied with Grand Rapids last year though).

Make a ring,
and then another ring,
and then another ring,
and then you've got three rings Ballentine.
And now it's premium,
it's a very special glass of beer.

love that state so much

 

[BeachBumDeac]

What are the good breweries in San Francisco that would warrant them being above San Diego or Denver?

speaking of sierra nevada...anybody had their mustards? they were one of the sponsors of a race that dhtoy and i ran recently, and the stout mustard was part of dhtoy's prize winnings. it is unbelievably delicious. i was pulling random crap out of the fridge just so i had something to put the mustard on. highly recommend.
