The article should have included the words: hipster and skinny jeans.

What a bad list.... No disrespect to Bells, but Pliny is better.

All Day at 7? Come on.... It's a solid, cheaper beer to crush, but it's not top 25.


Side note, at New Holland, they had a Dragon's Milk flight. Amazing. I'd have to go back to my Untapped to see what they were exactly, but 4 or 5 different barrel aged DMs.

I dunno, I really do like All Day. It's got good flavor and you really can drink it all day.

Surprised to Ballast Point or Half Acre

There are a ton of really good beers out there though

I;'m not saying you are a hipster, so I don't want this to be a "thing."

But for a LARGE number of folks, this is straight out of the hipster manual - page 1, line 3 - Drink boutique beers listed from Zymurgy, then keep score on how many beers you have had from Zymurgy. line 4 - Bonus - tweet or take pictures of said beers and distribute. Line 5 - put on a skirt and go wine tasting.

I think it used to be

craft beer is a much more accepted thing now, in my opinion

I've got nothing against a Bud Heavy though.

then again, hipsters took claim to PBR and High Life, right? Nothing is safe.

It’s called PBR for a reason, and that Blue Ribbon means there are a winner

Yeah, you see anywhere from a hipster to a bro to a typical dad (similar roles for women - bimbo, mom, etc) at a brewery now. And hell, a couple of my mom's friends have Untapped even.

Sierra Pale at 3 is a head scratcher, too.

I think I've had everything on that list sans the WeldWorks.

I mean, it IS a solid beer. I don't think you can argue with it.

I think that it being so available makes it seem like it shouldn't be on there.

but it is still a very good beer

Eh, availability shouldn't be a knock on how good it is. Heck, any flagship that's available pretty much on demand should get bonus points, IMO.

Still, Sierra Pale isn't even the first beer I'd grab of theirs.

really? what would be?

and Founders is really dominating that list. They are good, but I don't know about that.

Because I can get it any time I want, and don't have to deal with trying to figure out which liquor store didn't get cleaned out of (pick beer name) first?

Why would having a beer available all the time not be a great thing?

oh I agree with you there. When I go to the liquor store, I always go for a 6 of beer I have never had before

but I should have a steady stock of All Day or Sierra Pale in my fridge at all times because I know they are great.

Agree with Gobucks, Founders All Day at #7 is kind of ridiculous when there are much better beers out there.....Also, I’m very surprised not to see a single beer from Maine Beer Co’s lineup not on the list as well....

agree with that. You'd think Lunch would crack the list

Yeah, I've never had Dinner (heard great things), but Lunch is better than 2 Hearted.

I know I've kind of bashed 2 hearted...it's a very good beer. Solid go to, but it's not the best.
