i think i've only had 3 of those....these lists are silly when they list so many different styles...how do you compare an IPA to a sassion to a bock to a pils to an imperial stout?

I've had two: The Smuttynose IPA and the Sam Adams black lager.
I'd be willing to try the rest though.

well i think the smuttynose was different from the regular IPA (whatever 'big A' means), so i didn't count that. i've had the sam black, rogue brutal bitter, and dogfish 60 min (IAB, do they not carry that in yr area? it's an awesome IPA).
on 2nd thought, i'm pretty sure i've had a hennepin too, and maybe a sprecher.

I've seen Dogfish products stocked in our local beer stores but I have never purchased any. Next time I'm beer shopping, I'll pick some up.
MMcG owes me beer.
1 - Firestone Walker Pale Ale: Paso Robles, CA

Its funny, the quality and flavor seem to vary a bit with this one and appearantly they got a "good" batch

I'm actually surprised they picked the Firestone Pale Ale over their Double Barrel Ale which is one of my personal fav's.
8 - Full Sail Session Lager: Hood River, OR
^ The Session Lager is pretty much exactly how they describe it. Goes down like a light beer but with good flavor. The kinda beer you could drink endless quantities of while still remaining productive.
6 - Anderson Valley Boont Amber Ale: Boonville, CA
Yummy beer. They have it on tap at my favorite lounge....mmmm

Hmm...Alaskan Amber over Alaskan Smoked Porter? Interesting.
Nothing from Great Divide, Bells, or Gordon Biersch. To each is own.

I'm pretty sure the internet would be more useful in that case than Men's Journal. :D

I actually kind of dig the Winter Solstice. Summer Solstice wasn't all that exciting though. Much better options IMO.

But I want the Great Divide now. I have no patience when it comes to beer.
Take lots of pics at GABF. Also hit up Chelsea Brewing company. Their XXX Stout is incredible (medal winner from last year).
