2. Moylan's Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale.
A great beer from a great little Marin County-based brewery.

9. Bourbon whiskey
America's native spirit (well, that and rye whiskey.) Something along the lines of one of the Van Winkles or Blanton's, maybe Woodford Reserve and Wild Turkey 101 on hand for cocktails and highballs (WT101 makes a superb Manhattan.)

20. Well, most likely
what I'm drinking right now - Totally Naked, a New Glarus beer. Unfortunately it's seasonable. Otherwise, Spotted Cow.

Brewed right here in the Midwest!

25. I'd vote for DG Jamaican Ginger Beer, but they seem to have toned it down recently.
(When anyone tries this stuff for the first time, you have to get them to take a BIG gulp. It'll bring tears to your eyes. Not to mention theirs.)

Edited on Sat Aug-01-09 08:09 PM by fujiyama
and I usually try something local. Though, I suppose if you pushed me to name one, it'd probably be the Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout by Lost Coast Brewery. I wish I stopped there when I drove through Fort Bragg. Oh well, some day...

Does the DC/Northern VA/MD area surrounding DC have some great microbreweries? I'd try one from one of those. Though, if I were meeting the president, I suppose I'd want to not drink something too strong and make a fool of myself!
