I'm seeing an increasing amount of craft beer in places it never would have been found before. Blue-collar bars, chain convenience stores, bowling alleys, little divey restaurants- it's everywhere, and I like what I'm seeing.
It shows that craft beer isn't viewed as a snobby drink for geeky engineers anymore. It's a legitimate segment of the beer industry, and it's selling to consumers outside its traditional base. If this continues, the USA will be a great brewing nation indeed.
You need to post beer tastings before they happen not the night after. How was last nights?

I wish the same was true in my neck of the woods (Southern Minnesota). There are bars that sell good craft beers, but they are few and far between.

Considering I'm 1500 miles from the nearest ocean and I can get "fresh" seafood, I should be able to get good beer from anywhere.
Dude, Southern Minnesota? Are the roads even paved over there?
