i think i've only had 3 of those....these lists are silly when they list so many different styles...how do you compare an IPA to a sassion to a bock to a pils to an imperial stout?

well i think the smuttynose was different from the regular IPA (whatever 'big A' means), so i didn't count that. i've had the sam black, rogue brutal bitter, and dogfish 60 min (IAB, do they not carry that in yr area? it's an awesome IPA).

on 2nd thought, i'm pretty sure i've had a hennepin too, and maybe a sprecher.

I've seen Dogfish products stocked in our local beer stores but I have never purchased any. Next time I'm beer shopping, I'll pick some up.

MMcG owes me beer.

I'm actually surprised they picked the Firestone Pale Ale over their Double Barrel Ale which is one of my personal fav's.

8 - Full Sail Session Lager: Hood River, OR

^ The Session Lager is pretty much exactly how they describe it. Goes down like a light beer but with good flavor. The kinda beer you could drink endless quantities of while still remaining productive.
