The Brew Site25 best beers in America, from Men’s Journal
This seems familiar, but I don’t seem to have blogged about it yet: the 25 Best Beers in America, from Men’s Journal. (It’s dated from October 2006.) You might remember they listed their Best Beers in the World back in 2005, which I did blog about.
Interesting list. I’ve only had six of the 25, so I can’t speak to the merits of the other 19… but it’s a solid six. The other thing I’ll give them credit for is they’ve definitely put some thought into their picks. Check it out.
Out of 25 beers, it’s nice to see 3 from Oregon and 2 from Michigan (my homestate). And, while I’ve not had any of the specific beers, I have had others from the Oregon breweries and one from Bell’s in Michigan. Bell’s Pale Ale is really really good. So good, I brought a couple back with me my last trip to Kazoo – with my carry on luggage, and drank it on the plane with my little $5 pre-packaged snack of crackers and pepperoni. True midwest snack: fake cheese, cured meat and a good beer.
Yea I was pretty happy to see the North East represented. Specifically Victory and Ommegang because the others I have either not heard of (south hampton) or they are well on their way (DFH and Smutty).
Victory has been all over the place as of late. Great work.
