I can walk to 7 brewpubs from my house, and bicycle to a dozen more. I don’t care where you’re at, if you’re not in Portland, you can’t do that.

I didn't know about Sierra Nevada Big Foot, but am a big S.N. fan.<br /> <br /> Also, Sapporo now has a Sapporo Reserve that is even smoother and fuller flavored than regular Sapporo. But it's all good! Great list. I didn’t know about Sierra Nevada Big Foot, but am a big S.N. fan.

Were I to pick those 5 "American Center" beers, I’d probably go with:
* Celis White
* Yeti Imperial Stout from Great Divide
* Honker’s Ale from Goose Island
* Fat Tire Amber Ale
Hmmmm stuck on a fifth… maybe
* Maharaja from Avery, or
* Gonzo Imperial Stout from Flying Dog, or
* Bell’s Expedition Stout…

The problem, of course, is there’s *so many* choices. And of course, that’s the fun of it, too. :)

Of course there are omissions, but how could there not be with so many great beers in the world! By the way Mystery Brewer, as being a grad of Colorado State and knowing New Belgium brewery quite well, I'd agree that Fat Tire or the Abbey Ale should be on the list. But the author did not leave off all Midwest breweries as the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter is produced by Great Lakes Brewery in Cleveland to his defense. (Cleveland is my hometown and Dortmunder Gold is my preference from Great Lakes) Rather well put together list for limiting yourself to "fitty" beers.

You completely left out the middle of the US. May you be run over by a truck carrying a load of Shiner, New Belgium, New Glarus, Goose Island, Bell's and Great Lakes Brewing products. By the way, Portland is on the way out as being "on the scene". Way to go. You completely left out the middle of the US.

The list is subjective by nature and a beer aficionado would be able to ad many others. That said, think global but buy local. Support your local micros. They brew for you.
