My eyes are sore from all that reading... thinking a 12% Beer may help ease the pain

Great read nonetheless...

What a great read that was. It's just a small peephole view into the amazing things that are happening in the American brewing scene that we just never usually hear about.

I really liked the comment about the lack of hops in the industrial USA beers being attributed to the "generation raised on coca-cola" and sweet stuff generally.

Thanks for posting the link, Cheerz Wabster

I followed a link on the website and found an MP3 of beer reviews of Dogfish, might be of interest.

This week in the magazine, Burkhard Bilger writes about the Dogfish Head brewery and the rise of extreme beer. Here Bilger ventures out to the Beer Table, a tasting room in Brooklyn, to sample American beers from Budweiser to Dogfish Head, as well as traditional German and Belgian brews.
