Our craft beer largers are so full of hops and yeast from the micro brewers competing to be better and more that I find them to be undrinkable. I tend to drink East India Pale Ales and Pilsners.

I'm not your average kiwi who "goes on the piss" but are there for the flavors and the occassion. There is a small brewer called Matsons who do the cleanest crispest Pilsner I ever had but I find it hard to locate here in the north island.

Australians have craft beers nailed. Beautiful beers best drank very cold on the veranda of an old Queensland pub :)

I suggest something like this for next Christmas - much more appropriate. 3000 ml bottle. SN bottled 150? which quickly sold out in Chico - I found this at their Torpedo Room which opened last month in Berkeley.
Start wishing for one near you!

Excellent article shared by a friend of mine:

Craft Beer vs.

This is hilarious:

That's pretty cool. My kind of road trip.:)

I was glad to see Boulevard in KC show up, that's probably the most prevalent craft beer around these parts and one of my favorites. Am I the only one that doesn't see Samuel Adams as a "craft" beer? They seem just as mainstream as the big breweries. Not that I dislike their products (love me some Octoberfest), but they seem like the 500 lb gorilla compared to many of the local breweries listed.

Just stumbled into this cool concept on kickstarter.
