How do you do the 25 most important craft beers of all time and not manage to put at least one of Oberon, Two-Hearted, or Founder's Breakfast Stout anywhere on the list. Baffling.

I'd agree a Bell's offering should be on there, but Oberon? LOL.

Regardless of whether you or I like Oberon, it is undeniably the beer that put that brewery on the map nationally, is often credited as  one of the beers that got people into craft breweries, remains their best selling product, and its annual release day is a de facto state holiday. What Bell's product is more important (which is the metric the list is using)?

Really…I can't stand Oberon and don't think it put bells on the map like Two Hearted and Hopslam

Did Anchor really need four beers on that list?

Dale's is probably my favorite on that list.

Not a brewery, but there has been something similar in Denver for a few years.  http://www.firstdraftdenver.com/

Good call regarding Anchor.

Magruder's just posted that they have some…

No reason to buy mediocre 3 Stars cans when Aslin is beyond plentiful at this point.

Mully's out of Prince Frederick has been killing it. Got some Hazy Too and it's delish. 

Also grabbed some Key Brewing Behind the County Club.  Really nice DIPA.  Nice to see some small MD breweries stepping up their game.

Nice to see Bluejacket in cans too.

anthem show night pro tip….Union Stage

They have rotating Aslin, Oceloet, Victory, Avery, O'connor, Rouge and others on tap for a few dollars less than the $9 pacifico

I recind this reco
Went by tonight and there was a 100 person line at 7

wow wow wow… sour-heads should put a bib on before looking at this lineup:



http://brasseriedunham.com/boutique/foudre-unis-11-aout-2018/ (scroll down for english).

date = august 11.  location = southern quebec, just up from the VT border.  apparently tickets are going fast.

that lineup tho…

You know, maybe this ramble is just me, but I love sours . . . no I worship sours. But, I can't ever find myself in a situation where I say, you know I need to drive to Canada or some f*****-up location to taste or try or buy beer. I don't understand driving more than an hour from my house to buy beer. I don't understand people who go to places around this country because they know there's a brewery there or there's beer there. I just don't get it. I'm a beer snob, I love beer, I love drinking beer. But I'm not a weirdo who's going to go all over the f****** place just to find it. Again, maybe that's just me.

Preach!

Besides that, the local beer shop that I enjoy shopping at, had a wicked weed tasting the other day and I was able to get something in a can called tropicmost which is a passion fruit Gose.  Point of this post, is to say you can really taste the difference in Wicked Weed can beer since they got purchased by Budweiser. The Taste is there. I honestly don't know if wicked weed put out beer to the public in cans, because I'm relatively new to the brewery. I instantly fell in love with them before they got purchased, and don't really care about the purchase but I do find it interesting that you can taste the signature Budweiser mark.
