Pretty good. New England doesn't have a huge beer culture but I feel like anywhere in the US you can find a brewery that has some perfectly serviceable local fare. Thanks for asking!

i guess bell's distributes to all 50 states, now. that's crazy. good beer though. probably the best brewery in usa. their oberon wheat ale is great, nice n pukey. and their ipa is one of the only good ipas along with sierra nevada torpedo.

My chud brother would always say something like "why aren't you drinking American beer" when he'd see me with a craft beet and I'd tell him it was made nearby and not owned by foreigners like the macro brews and he would seem confused. This would happen every time he saw me drinking

I've been thinking a lot lately about how certain people have an emotional incentive to remain ignorant in order to extract effort and attention from other people. Why would you learn anything or pay attention to anything when you find it gratifying to demand explanations over and over? It's a way of making other people serve you. And when people eventually snap at you for being so unbearably thick, you can deflect it and be like, Sheesh! I'm just trying to understand :confused: even though you're a big poo poo head.

Anyway, to get back on thread topic: Beer makes you fat and stupid.

I live by their brewery and a former employee put them on blast and said they don't pay well and have terrible quality control and showed photos of mold growing in the brewery building & also said they have a history of covering up sexual harassment. They posted her job at a lower pay afterwards lol

Hes a very bitter person. His mom wasn't good to him and my dad wasn't around for a lot of his childhood. In the past decade he's become tje perpetually outraged fox News chud persona and alienated most of his family with constant complaining. He finally moved to Texas after threatening to do so for years and ill probably never see him in person again until our dad dies.

The artist is a local legend and has tons of work all over the county in that style. Sad to hear they'd treat them that way but not surprising. I honestly haven't had bad beer from them before and it is pretty cheap up here. The 6 packs of their core beers are like $7-8 at winco.

Humboldt cider is cool afaik. Theyve just expanded to a new location that I have yet to try. Theyre pretty expensive even here tho..like $14 for a 4 pack of pints. Eesh. My gf loves the cherry cider and gets it whenever we go out

Another one to look at here is eel river. They were the first organic certified brewery in the United States, their beer is pretty good and normally priced, the taproom is cool, and they have a lot of seltzers for e z drinking

Also mad river which has the 2nd widest distribution after lost coast. Theyve got a wide range, cool taproom, seltzers, etc etc
