Ain't nothin' finer than an ice cold Shiner!
LOL...like I said, just an opinion. Nothing more than a my team is better than your team statement. As we all know from cigars, different people like different things. There are really good breweries all across the US, and everyone will have their own opinions. I am just glad that we have so many great options when it comes to beer these days. :bigeyes:
I agree with that!
Exactly!! :ccowboy:
Canada? Is there a craft beer industry in Canada? I thought all you guys did was drink Molson and watch hockey! :grin:
The West has a lot of good beer as does the East....
Put me down as a believer in that authors opinion. I've sampled lots of beers from all over....but I've no real need to look outside what I can get here locally..
Living in a pretty popular beer area (across the river from Portland) I'll contend there is no other state putting out the quality of IPAs than what Cali is producing. Some states might have a couple goods ones here and there, but man...they got IPAs figured out there IMO.

I think it's all relative to the available beers to you as well. We can't get as many East Coast beers here on the West Coast and vice versa. I have a great beer shop close to me, but some East Coast breweries simply do not distribute to the West etc or we only get limited beers from the breweries where they would sell more of the limiteds close to their geographic area.
