I don't post much but here's a couple musings...
We live near Lancaster, OH and have had the Rockmill belgians...I'm not a big fan of belgians but Rockmill's claim to fame is how similar the local water attributes are to the water in Belgium...I totally support local business and wish them absolutely the best! As a consumer and proud American, I am happy to see the explosion of craft brewers and understand that the total number of current craft brewers in the US is now equal to the number of brewers pre-prohibition! That speaks for itself!
My preference is IPA/APA and am fortunate to enjoy the following as my faves:
Founders Brewing Grand Rapids, MI Centennial, Double Trouble
Ithaca Brewing Ithaca, NY Flower Power
Columbus Brewing Columbus, OH Bodhi
Ballast Point San Diego, CA Sculpin
Jackie O's Athens, OH Mystic Mama
no matter what...GO SABRES!!
