Where is the best beer in America?
According to Men's Journal magazine, it's in Paso Robles, Calif.
The magazine ranked Firestone Walker Pale Ale as the best beer in America, followed by Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA, which is produced in Milton, Del.
Rounding out the top five are Stoudt's Pils, of Adamstown, Pa.; Russian River Temptation Ale, of Santa Rosa, Calif.; and Avery Mephistopheles' Stout, of Boulder, Colo.
It has chosen what the editors call the top 25 craft brews that this country has to offer.
The company said its editors put their "sensitive palettes to the test" and have determined the most flavorful microbrews, also judging on the basis of it being refreshing while appealing to a variety of different tastes.
Men's Journal's third annual survey of the Best Beers in America is featured in its October issue.
Whoops wrong thread.
Which tastes like a more expensive and slightly less watery Rolling Rock.
HA! Good point!
Hey, Bell's made the top 10! Nice to see some recognition for one of Michigan's best local beermakers.

Marketing my boy, marketing.
Yuengling is by far my favorite "regular drinking beer".
It makes no sense to rank different styles of beer together.
And I guarantee you that the IPAs listed above do not hold a candle to
Boundary Bay IPA - Bellingham, WA
Inversion IPA - Bend, OR
Snoqualmie IPA - Snoqualmie, WA
Maritime Imperial IPA, Seattle
I probably wouldn't like any of them. I've never liked meals in a bottle or beer so thick you don't need a glass to pour it into.
How come when I get an Alaskan Amber(18) I get it with a slice of lemon on the rim? If a beer is good it doesn't need fruit, which is one reason I don't like Corona. It tasts lousy by itself and the lime plugs up the bottle.
I miss Yuenging. It's a very good beer and, even though I'm not much of a beer drinker at all, I have a glass every time I travel to an area that has it.
Ale isn't beer.
Stout isn't beer.
O'Fallon Gold Lager is the BEST Beer in America. Serve it cold, this ain't no sissy "let it sit for five minutes" beer.
Hoppy with a clean finish and no aftertaste.
Some of these liquids you can still taste a day later.
10 - Bell's Expedition Stout: Comstock, MI
Comstock is an address outside of Kalamazoo, it's not even a town. The biggest thing there is a gravel pit called Hillbilly Heaven.
Roger that. Well actually it's a close second after my homebrew. Unfortunately we can't get Yuengling on the left coast...but we do have Mac and Jack African Amber...mmmm, mmm!
Yep, putting that foil around the top is worth the extra $4/ sixpack.
I can't tell the difference between Coors Light & my favorite bottled water.
I'm not a highfalutin connoisseur of beer, I just stick with the King of Beers.
You need a hop infusion, my friend. LOL
"Yep, putting that foil around the top is worth the extra $4/ sixpack."
Waste of foil IMO.
