Message Kevin beers 2228 º places 58 º 12:16 Tue 8/29/2006 Originally posted by illinismitty Firestone Walker IPA at one and Speeday at 24? This list is a crock. all depends on the criteria used to make the list and the peoples tastes. there are some good beers on there, i don’t care about the order. it is good to see good beers being presented to the public.
Message beerguy101 P beers 5360 º places 75 º 12:17 Tue 8/29/2006 But is there a beer there that you would NOT drink?

Message illinismitty beers 2271 º places 279 º 12:17 Tue 8/29/2006 Firestone Pale Ale at 1 and Speedway at 24? This is list is a crock
Message illinismitty beers 2271 º places 279 º 12:19 Tue 8/29/2006 Originally posted by beerguy101 But is there a beer there that you would NOT drink? No. I’d drink them all. Not a bad list, I just think the order is crazy. But again, I guess you have to consider their target audience.
Message OKBeer beers 1175 º places 34 º 12:25 Tue 8/29/2006 I wonder how many complaint letters they’ll get saying "I’ve never heard of any of those. Where’s Bud/Miller/Coors?"
Message batkins places 78 º 12:28 Tue 8/29/2006 Full Sail Session........are you kidding me? They’re kidding ...right?

Message DCopperfields beers 146 º 12:33 Tue 8/29/2006 I haven’had that beer and won’t till tomorrow night, but they did say that drinkablity was a big factor in their decision making process. Isn’t it good? Originally posted by batkins Full Sail Session........are you kidding me? They’re kidding ...right?

Message mkgrenwel beers 619 º places 117 º 13:15 Tue 8/29/2006 These lists are always really weird. I believe it was Maxim that declared Abita Turbodog the best beer in America a few years ago. I mean, they’re on the right track, but it just seems a bit random. I think they probably try to give a wide swath of brewers and styles. If I were them, I might title the list "25 great American beers you’ve probably never heard of." Of course, that doesn’t sell magazines nearly as well. I just like to hear that they are pointing people in the right direction who wouldn’t have a clue otherwise.
