Just lost alot of respect for AHA. Not that I hate Sam Adams, but this means 40 different Sam Adams Beers found thier way into lists of "Top 10-20 beers". I can't think of 1 that deserves to be in my top 20.

Is awesome.

Never enough IPAs IMO

Lots of palate wrecking. I'm surprised not to see mikkeller or evil twin on there, but that's just MHO.

To be fair the AHA isn't ranking these. They just polled their members asking what their top 20 beers were. Sam Adams may not be at the top of the list in our beer market, but there are a lot of places that are worse off than we are.


This is the list of top breweries based on number votes.

1. Stone Brewing Co., Escondido, Calif.
2. Russian River Brewing Company, Santa Rosa, Calif.
3. Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, Chico, Calif.
4. Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Milton, Del.
5. Bell's Brewery, Kalamazoo, Mich.
6. Firestone Walker Brewing Company, Paso Robles, Calif.
7. Founders Brewing Company, Grand Rapids, Mich.
8. Lagunitas Brewing Company, Petaluma, Calif.
9. New Belgium Brewing Company, Fort Collins, Colo.
10. Deschutes Brewery, Bend, Ore.

One would be too many for me. Drinking an IPA is like taking a whiff of decaying grass.

Lists like these are dumb.

Had Pliny for the first time about 10 days ago in San Diego. As good as I expected.
