How many craft beers did you consume prior to authoring this post?

How would you feel if someone told you "weed is just weed"?

Plus, he really only drinks Spotted Cow, so he's one of them anyway.

Spotted Cow tastes like it was made with well water.

Beer from the Rockies or Great Lakes are the only beers worth drinking. Everything else is oily and viscous.

...minus some of the overseas beers.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Have you ever had anything by Hill Farmstead, Tired Hands, Other Half, Trillium, Tree House, Alchemist, or Lawson's, just to name a few of the East Coast breweries that are generally considered some of the best in the world?

Yes, I have tried some of them and MANY other east coast beers. And I will stand by my statement. Bad water = bad beer. It's science bro.

Regardless, I wouldn't be defending Trillium right now.

Trillium's poor labor practices don't have anything to do with the quality of the beer they produce. The stuff about the tequila is bad news. In general, though, their beers are pretty awesome, much better than what you'll find in Chicago.

The Midwest is generally considered to be well behind the coasts in terms of producing top-flight beer, although it is catching up.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

**Edited because I unintentionally omitted the stuff about the tequila. Never had any of that.

To each his own. I think you are wrong. you think I am wrong, so enjoy your east coast beer.

It's all crap once you've had beer from Delerium in Brussels, but you'll have to do that first I suppose...

Anyone drinking beer from Marz? I tried one of their cans and it was really good, but then looked like they are mostly into fruity beers from their website.

I don't hate Midwest beer, I just don't think it's quite as good as most of the elite Northeast beer.

For the record, what Midwestern breweries do you rank ahead of Hill Farmstead?

You're damn right! This is important stuff!

Actually, I apologize to Doug for my hostile and condescending responses to him.

He's a flagship poster here and has always struck me as being a really good guy.

I'm a little on edge today.

Enough yapping about beer.

I think Midge should offer up some of these selections for a tasting.

Marz is very hit or miss.

TM, you know my affection for all beers east coast. I would put Hop Butcher and MoRe on par with the best out there. My NH trading partner agrees. He’s also a big Noon Whistle gummy fan.
