That's a pretty nice list. I currently have beers from about 15 of those breweries in my fridge/basement, and have tried another 6 or so.

It's hard not to give Side Project #1 for Missouri. They've won international awards. Living about 10 minutes away from them helps me with trading for stuff that I want to try from all over the country. I've been able to get stuff from Vermont and Oregon that I otherwise would have no access to just because I had time on a Saturday or Sunday to go stand in line for an hour or so.

Side Project will get you pretty much anything you want

Its nice that GR is starting to get national recognition. I've been able to trade for some nice stuff recently (JK, WW, Allagash, Fonta Flora, etc)

Of course, Baton Rouge consumers can't really provide a fair opinion on any of their hoppy offerings because of the poor business decision GR made by choosing CCD to manage their aging warehouse, I mean distribution, here.


I don't chase it but I do always seem to be late locating Grace and Grit and wish I could get it more frequently.

That is pretty cool list. Not to derail the Great Raft vs Parish debate, but Flathead Lake Brewing in Montana is a great choice. I was able to have dinner and drink beer for a couple hours at their brewpub in Bigfork a couple years ago. Everything I had was at the very least solid. Plus, the ability to sit out on the deck overlooking Flathead Lake with mountains surrounding you was just awesome.

Yep. They would be my last choice. Trim Tab, Fairhope, Good People, all putting out stuff way better than the folks in Gadsden.

For Wisconsin New Glarus does make world class fruit beers, but Central Waters is easily the best craft brewery in the state. Their barrel aging program is on par with the best in the country.

LINK

quote:

CENTRAL WATERS BREWING COMPANY AMHERST, WI Essential drinking: Bourbon Barrel Cherry Stout To make its award-winning Bourbon Barrel Cherry Stout, Amherst’s Central Waters Brewing Co. dumps a full 75lbs of fresh, local cherries into each oak barrel before filling it up with its Satin Solitude imperial stout. Add six months and the result is a shockingly drinkable, 10% ABV dream, layered with chocolate-covered tart cherry, creamy vanilla, and nutty, oaky bourbon notes with just a hint of bitter coffee -- a Midwestern winter’s antidote in bottle form. No stranger to the wonders of wood, the 20-year-old craft pioneer brews five different bourbon barrel-aged numbers under its Brewer's Reserve label, including an imperial stout aged on coffee beans and a beyond impeccable barrel-aged barleywine that won gold at 2008’s Great American Beer Festival.

is it still a state-wide issue? I thought that had been addressed in the state legislature.

absolutely

and as its been mentioned earlier, competition is a good thing

both GR and Parish have stepped up their games due to the other, and other breweries are trying to follow as well

it really is time for a 3rd or 4th to enter this debate
