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.

The drinking age in Wis. was 18 throughout the 60's and 70's.
My favorite Wis. beer is Leinenkugel original, but their Honey Weiss is good too.

i drink four of those.. including the #2

I can vouch for the Dogfish Head line of beers and ale.
The Ommegang is very good two,even though is made in Belgium.
The best seasonal beer in my opinion...Harpoon Winter Warmer.The only reason to look forward to the winter season.

Well, it does say American beers...and Stella is Belgian.

I do like me Stellas... :]

[Clint N. Suhks]

My favorite Wis. beer is Leinenkugel

I like Leine's too.

Wisconsin is IMHO is the beer capital of the world.

They used to have over 300 brewery's in the 60's and 70's. Now I think with all the consolidations they are well below 200.

It's a little trivia only former badgers and a few yoopers from up nort know hey don't cha know.

I haven't had one in many years.

Used to love Gennies, too.

[HOTTIEBOY]

Call me redneck if you will...

[andysandmikesmom]

And I was born and raised in the 'toddlintown'...dont live there any more, and I have nothing but fond memories of the place...

Doesn't help the cause to belittle a potential market

Merely speaking the truth. The best-selling beers in the U.S. are watered-down garbage that takes a 12-pack to feel a buzz.

I'm a big fan of Bigfoot Barleywine and Tupper's Hop Pocket Ale.

The more flavor you can get in the glass, the better I like it.

[absolootezer0]

[Cold Heat]

[absolootezer0]
