Beer list- this is a lot of crap..
They should stick with reviewing wine
I'll go backwards..
#24- Napa Brewing ?? Trash
#23 Telegraph Brewing- Santa Barbara?? Mediocre at best
#22 Barba what ?? I guarantee you..there are no good beers in Argentina..Just Quilmes and Brahma..I'd rather drink Pepsi
#21 Trumer is big in the Bay area.. Their local Budweiser
#19 Widmer. You'd be shot if you ever told anyone you drank this in the Portland area
# 17 Founders- Real Quality suds !! Fantastic beer
#16- World Class..Never had it though
#15 Full Sail- another great one I've never had.
#13- Heavy Seas- it's just OK
#11- Lost Abbey is 420's kind of brew
#10 Fantastic
#9- Same
#8- Avery- good, but not at #8
#6 Victory- just OK. I can think of 100 better IPA's
#5 Southern Tier- One of my favorites
#4-Russian River...good, but it's no Pliny...
#2 Deschutes- Quality Pacific NW brewery- but I had the Abyss, not this though...
#1 – Allagash ??? What a joke I drank this with SVU18 at Bar Great Harry in Park Slope Brooklyn..It's certainly no # 1...
Some of these American brewries ( especially the Colorado ones, can be found in Amsterdam )
The Breweries-
De Prael
I had some of their beers at the Eagles Nest with Wim

Peter gave me 2 beers in a trade.. I gave one to Wim a couple Christmas's ago
Brouwerij 't IJ
I'm actually drinking a Stoudt's DIPA out of one of their glasses as I'm writing this...
I'm going there in a couple weeks, and I'll file a Beer Report
Best Regards
