6. Mm. Dogfish Head IPA - just had me a couple pints at the Mash Tun.
And the Cioppino at the Rogue Ale House in Newport is a constant craving of mine.

3. If I recall an old Monty Python line,
Why is American beer like making love in a canoe? Because it's fucking close to water.

5. That's about right. There are good small brews, but the mass produced

7. I just brewed my first batch of homebrew

14. With the rebirth of Microbrews
American beers (lagers, plisners, lambics, ales, whatever) have surpassed many European ones, this is simply standard German dourness...
