CLICKBAIT
Never heard of most of these.....Bend is a great town.
Denver is another great beer town
Portland OR should be #1, not #23.
Asheville, NC at #20 out of 25? They’ve got to be kidding.
Somebody take the bullet and list them so we don’t have to go to the site.
Best beer “towns” versus best “beer”..... ok.
I’ll post this after I go get a COPPERHEAD Amber Ale brewed by the Yalobusha Brewing Co, Water Valley Mississippi. ......... I’m back. This will be my first one. My favorite beer is St. Pauli Girl. My wife looks like the girl on the label, at least she did 45 plus years ago. Copperhead is pleasantly mild and despite it’s name has no bite, I do prefer a bit of bitter bite that I get from St. Pauli Girl. For just sitting around drinking beer and ogling the label I prefer St. Pauli Girl, but COPPERHEAD will do just as good with the basic food groups, fried catfish, BBQ pork, steak and a hot corned beef sandwich on rye with hot mustard.
I HATE One Per Page lists. (And worse are the one per THREE pages lists)
And why did it start with 9?
Anyway, anyone care to sum up the list?
Russian River, CA. Best beer: Pliny The Elder
didn't make the list.
The opinion of the author is not valid.
I do not see Arrogant Bastard.
In addition, and somebody help me out here, Mammoth Brewery had a label on a cold one a good friend brought to me here on our isolated island once, made me want to make a pilgrimage down there!
Glad Astoria and Bend are at 9 adn 14, but Portland OR at 23 is a traveshamockery
I liked Holy City Brewery in Charleston. My best Pilsner yet.
Always enjoy that first Brick Red (Samuel Adams) whenever I visit Boston.
What. Cincinnati not listed? Wiedemann’s, Hudepohl, and Burger, all great beers from the past. You know, get moody with Hudy !Then again, the Ohio River water.
This new surge of Ales across the nation is laughable.
Cascade hops used to be only the garbage hops used in very small quantities in American Light Lager (Bud, Coors etc.) because their flavor profile in other than minute quantities is simply unbearable.
Now they are used in very large quantities in the new "American IPA" and every town has a brewer making this crap.
It's more suitable for paint stripper.
There's a reason the entire world shifted to lagers. They are cleaner tasting, without the large quantities of fusol alcohols, off flavors...even the taste of bananas and rubber. You taste only the malt...and in some cases the hops.
And yes, there are dark...and bitter...and hoppy lagers. Hundreds of them.
Lagers actually require brewing skills. You usually cannot make them in a warehouse. You need skilled brewers who actually know and can apply brewing science and art.
I myself am an accomplished home brewer with 9 ribbons from the Washington State Fair. I have some knowledge in these matters.
Yes, there are a FEW ales worth drinking, but none of them come from these American upstarts. They are almost exclusively from England, France or Belgium. But one must still have a taste for them.
Generally, ales are sh!t. And these new American IPAs are toxic.
Instead, try Primator Maibock, Pilsner Urquell...or anything from Munich. If your local pub doesn't stock them, find another pub.
What...???
No Iron City ....??
My favorite beer city in the world is Brussels Belgium every September for the Belgian Beer Festival in the Grand Place... 3 days of 300+ Belgian beers!!!
