From the American Homebrewers Association:
1. Russian River Pliny the Elder
2. Bell’s Two Hearted Ale
T3. Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA
T3. Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout
5. Bell’s Hopslam
6. Stone Arrogant Bastard
7. Sierra Nevada Celebration
T8. Sierra Nevada Torpedo
T8. Stone Ruination
10….6-12 is really the only part i’d disagree with. and you need to drop 60-minute off the list. 90-minute is out of this world, but 60-minute is weak as hell i think.
also missing: Trumer Pils, the official Pils of the SF bay area and one of the best I’ve ever had, and Teton Brewing’s Bitch Creek, the extra special brown.
For a nationally voted-upon list I think this is actually pretty good (Trumer Pils is only available in the SF area, Teton is probably only the western states?). Too much Sierra Nevada. two in the top 10? COMMON!
also no reason Sam Adams should be the lone representative from New England, let alone on this list.
F yeah Pliny the Edler.
