It's been so long since I drank a mass-produced American beer that I almost forgot they still existed.

There are hundreds upon hundreds of smaller American breweries putting out beers that compare with anything that Europe is putting out.

Just like California (and other wine-producing states) made it possible to never have to drink a wine from France again and yet still be overwhelmed with quality choices, so the craft brewery revolution has made it unnecessary to seek imports in the beer aisle.

Right now, I'm discovering all the fine offerings from the Founders Brewery...

Founders is fantastic. Reminds me of when I stumbled upon Sierra Nevada nearly twenty years ago. They just make great beers whether it's their pale ale, porter, stout, etc. Those two breweries are my all around favorites.

Now if only Red Hook would make their Double Black Stout again... Might shift back from pale ales and IPA’s.
