not sure why this is getting a whole blog of its own, other than perhaps to encourage our american friends to support an excellent beer trade over there and keep drinking the fine stuff made by your fellow americans.
(and not the rubbish stuff!)
other special mentions go to shiner bock (texas), the pike and anchor (san francisco), sierra nevada (chico, ca), alaskan smoked porter (alaska presumably), petes wicked ales (somewhere north) and fat tire (texas again).
if only we could get these in england more easily...
on a positive note, our local, the cask & cutler, i've noticed does sell the westvleteren 12. for those i've not explained it to, of the 6 trappist monastaries that produce higly alcohol ales, one of them refuses to distribute any of it. the only way to get any of it is to go to the monastary itself, knock on a hatch and buy them off a monk. and you're limited to a maximum of 3 cases at a time. its that rare. anyway, they somehow sell it at the pub and it tastes amazing, especially comnsidering its a 10% dark ale.
yumm yumm.
