U.S. Beer Map

Via Nerdalicious, a beer map of the United States. According to the map Idaho doesn't have a brewery. I don't know how Joe Huffman does it.




Abita Brewing Co.'s "Purple Haze" is an awesome name for a beer, though the reviews don't seem too hot.

As for Delaware's own Dogfish Head. I had the chance to try their My Antonia over the weekend while the power went out in my apartment complex. I'm not really a fan of Pilsner's at all, and when I hear the word I think "crap American macrobrew" ala Bud, Miller, Coors. The My Antonia was certainly better than expected though, probably due to the fact that there were actually hops in it. When I got done the bottle I couldn't believe it was 7.5 % ABV. Could have fooled me.

It's very light and not a very complex beer but it'd be a nice lighter beer to enjoy on the beach or on a nice sunny spring day. Ah, writing this while there's snow outside makes me long for warmer weather.




I still need to try and track down a few spare bottles of Bitches Brew since it was a limited release.

I'm lucky enough to live in a town with three microbreweries. It's awesome.

There are several around here as well. I'm a big fan of Iron Hill Brewery.

Huh. Will have to look into Yazoo... thanks for the pointer.

The microbrew down the road from me unfortunately sucks, and its owner is a rabid anti-rights nut, though despite all his posturing, he has not yet decided to post his establishments. Go figure.
