Craft Beer

That's the other thing with Craft Beer...it's not an even playing field. How can I compare SE Georgia breweries with those in Colorado Springs, CO if I can't try them both. We can't get CO craft beer in GA so it's impossible to make an apples to apples comparison.
Exactly right, when I travel for my job, I try to find and try the local beer and the local Mom/Pop cuisine.
 
I'm also not picky. Straightforward pale ales are probably my favorite overall style for having a grownup type beer with dinner. I would say my overall #1 grownup beer is Bell's Two Hearted. I really dig the NE IPA's also, I like the bright citrus hops and don't really care for the super bitter stuff.

Oh I forgot about Bells black note. That is an excellent beer...
 
As craft beer goes, I tend to lean towards Pale ales and IPA’s. For cheaper beer I lean towards rolling rock, Miller lite, or Buschhhhhhh ha but really I’ll take anything. Don’t tempt me with a good time!
 
I’m a fan of it all. No telling what you will find in my beer fridge on a given day.

Some local brews I like
Low Roads - coconut porter
Gnarly Barley - Juifer IPA
Bayou Teche - Spotted ****
Second Line - Salty Dog IPA

G2 is right, hard to compare when craft beer is regional. Let’s have a brew tasting at Saddlepalooza. Everyone bring a 6 pack/growler of your favorite local brew.

There is objectively no better beer than an ice-cold American Pale Ale. It's the beer of men who win world wars, go to the moon, and break the sound barrier.

It's the miraculous triumph of a great nation. Our crown achievement. The jubilant marriage of democracy, capitalism, the free market, judeo-christian tradition, industrialism, and the scientific method. Old world tradition meets new world efficiency. The fact that anyone, from a billionaire CEO to a drifter under an overpass, can crack open a cold, refreshing, sanitary brew of consistent taste and quality, is the embodiment of the American dream.
Pure case of nutter jibber jabber !!
 
I had been brewing my own beer since 2006. Last year I began to develop issues related to gluten so now I can not drink beer containing gluten.

But when I was brewing, I always had a special love for Belgian dubbels, German doppelbocks, American Amber ales, kolsch, and American ales. 90 percent of the beer I made for under these categories. I also brewed the occasional farmhouse ale.

Chimay cinq, Chimay grande reserve, and Ayinger celebrator are probably my 3 favorite beers.

Have you looked into "gluten reduced" beers? Our local brewery, whether deliberately or by coincidence, uses a brewing method that knocks down the gluten content so much that my celiac friends can drink it. They don't advertise it so you have to inquire.

That said, living in the same town as a brewery, and a tasty one at that, has changed my perspective on beer. I am not a beer snob or connoisseur, but I don't even think of it as "craft" beer anymore, it's just beer. Tasty, flavorful beer. So good.

I haven't yet. The local brewery by me wasn't that good. There are some others I can check with though. I have thought of trying to make them on my own but just don't have much time right now.

This is best read in a “Hank Hill” voice!

Trillium - Tree House - Aslan - Great Rhythm for breweries, and in that order. With Trillium being in a complete tier of their own at the top.

A friend of mine works for DoD and is a complete and total nut case beer snob and he has traveled the country and cheicked in thousands of beers on Untapped. He took me to Trillium and I have never been the same. He ranks Trillium as #1 in the country.

New England beers make up for new England’s deers.
