Katie – did you happen to try any North Carolina beers when you were down here? We’re really proud of our local craft beer scene. With 20 breweries and 20 brewpubs, there’s a lot to choose from.

I not dissing non-regional beers — after all, Bell’s Two Hearted is my everyday beer — but a little part of me would have loved to see you reminiscence over a local (North Carolina beer).

Cheers!

My favorite beer are the fruit lambics (not fruit ale or lager made in usa…)lambics beers fruit based from belgium are the best beers in the world and lambics have a long history
i work for a brewery in quebec and i import(private) beer from all over the world.
belgium do the best.
People who dont like fruit beer are coors drinkers (or labatt…) they should develop their taste a bit more…
Cantillon, liefmans, belle-vue, lindemanns ,mort subite ahhhh

I guess I buck the trend – To me, there’s something inherently wonderful about regional beers staying regional. And something nostalgic about the trek that it takes to find, consume, and appreciate these beers. Personally, I love my favorite beer*, but I don’t want to be able to find it at Whole Foods or pay out the ass for it, at some uptight watering hole, 5 minutes from my house. I think that’s really what makes the beer special, and appreciated. *- For what it’s worth, my favorite beer is from a tiny town in southern Vermont, called McNeill’s Brewery. Their IPA is outstanding, and they will refill your 1/2gal jug for $5. If you’re ever in Brattleboro for the day, they open up at 2pm, 6 days a week, and if you can’t get the beers there, (in growlers) you can shoot across the street to the co-op, and get a bottle or two there. …but no where else. :)

Oh man, Fat Tire… one of the things I miss most about Denver. New Belgium really can do no wrong when it comes to good beer. I’m not a fan of lighter beers, mind you (Guinness, wooo!), but theirs are much better than most.

Ugh. Please stop using DMV to refer to anything except the Department of Motor Vehicles. The acronym was tired before it was even introduced.

Best import of the past year was definitely Founders Brewing Co. So good and so needed.

New Belgium has been slowly moving east. I’m looking forward to the day I can get their Fat Tire here too, but even better are their Sunshine Wheat and 1554.

You almost lost me at Raspberry Lambic (fruit in a beer is just wrong) but I have to mention the amazing beer I tasted in NYC last week: Black Ops.

I did, Don, but just for context. I know there are tons of beers out there that people love a lot. But you can/should ask him, and other beer-lovin’ bartenders about your specific favorites!

Did you ask Engert about Fat Tire specifically? I know lots of people who love it but I wonder – is the message getting to folks like him who drive the matter?
