AHA Best Beers in America

[ill]

Zombie doesn't seem as good anymore. I don't know if it changed a little when it scaled up, or if it's because it's easy to find.

I have only had Zombie once...traded a Pliny for it.

Haha

he threw in another good rare too.

my cousin's now ex husband sent me a 6 pack of Pliny pint bottles. Dammit, I wish they hadn't divorced.

did they get bought up by the big guys?

I think InBev bought them up

Sierra Nevada? Sure? I think they're still independent..at least majority.

really? what would be?

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

Agree, Founders' stuff is fine, but I don't think any of their line is "best of the best" in the entire country. Nothing really sets it apart from plenty of other small brewers, IMO.

I've only had about 6-8 of the beers listed here, so I guess I'm not nearly as hip as I used to be...but I'm cool with where I am.

Ninja is you a old man or a old woman?

Don't like Gin, don't like Sierras, makes fun of the way I talk (probably)

Why I'd nevah

I do like Two-Hearted Ale and Old Rasputin.

Don't particularly care for Left Hand Milk Stout, New Holland's Dragons Milk, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, or Boulevard anything.

I have always liked anything by Sierra, have a lot of happy memories of discovering their line when I first started getting into craft stuff.

But lately I'm finding myself becoming less adventurous with some of the newer stuff out there. I've bought products that were just awful and felt like I've wasted my money. I'd rather keep getting stuff that I know I will enjoy.

Stupid list, is stupid.

I'm the same way. I've been adventurous but now I've tasted enough beers that I can always find a familiar one that I really like.

I'm less risky with my beer purchases at this point.

too much hops.

 

[Ojb81]

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.

No! not high life! say it ain't so!

too much hops.
