I definitely agree with you on this one! I'm drinking the Unplugged Bohemian Lager right now...good stuff

Can't beat the price either since all of the out of state micros are either $9 or $10 for a 6er compared to $7 for New Glarus.

If you're talking quality, being from KC, I definately have your back on this one.

However if you're referring to mass consumption, there's not a state in the US that can touch WISCONSIN.

that is the truth! When the local papers have been running stories on the 'State of Consumption'..... that's a hint.

Also depends if you measure consumption per capita..

Colorado has more microbreweries per capita than any other state.

Millstream Beers from the Amana Colonies in Iowa are outstanding

Anywhere in eastern PA, all you have say is "Lager" and everyone knows it's a Yuengling Lager, from America's oldest brewery, Yuengling, since 1829.

Is anyone recommending any holiday beers these season?

Frank4 · Post by **Frank4** » November 26, 2008 12:38 pm

Got to tell you this is one of my favorite threads at BN....

Just tried Matilda by Goose Island. What a great brew....

I picked up the Chicory Stout by Dogfishhead last night. I am looking forward to trying one of those tonight.
