<You get better mail respose if you include a return path in your posting.>

OK this sounds like fun. Two of my favorites are
	
	Anchor Steam	- San Francisco, CA
	Leinenkugels	- Grosse Point, WI

Of course, if we include international brews there are too many entertaining
goodies out there to dare flood the net with.

Just a few word to Doctor memory.  Leinenkugels is not made in Grosse Point
It comes from Chippewa Falls.  Leinies is made from the water of the Big
Eddy Springs.  The brewery is named for Jacob Leinenkugel a brewer who came to
this country in the last century.  It has of course retained the family name.

A side note Chippewa Falls is also the home of Seymore Cray founder of Cray
Research.  The city is the Manufacturing center for this company.

If the original writer wants to try a really fine beer he should try Walter's
Beer (The Beer That Is Beer!), brewed in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.  A much finer
beverage.

Actually About the only Grosse Point of Leinenkugel's is its taste.

I thought Grosse Point was a well-to-do Detroit Suburb.  Doesn't
Lee Iacocca live there?

Anybody who avers that the State of Wisconsin produces anything but
swill suitable only as an emetic DEFINITELY needs to see a doctor.
The only brew  produced on this continent worthy of calling itself beer
comes from Canada.

	If you have a hard time deciding which is your favorite
	beer, visit the WeinKeller on Roosevelt Rd. in Berwyn.
	They boast a 240 brand beer menu (US and International)
	and have a good wine selection as well. I haven't
	sampled all 240 yet.  When I do, I'll let you know
	which beer is my favorite (if I can remember).

I can handle the creationists and evolutionists, the pro/anti Bible freaks,
the pro-life and the pro-choice, even the pro-4.2 - but when we start
talking serious topics like beer, let's watch it!
If Canada produces anything worthy of calling itself beer, they don't
export it, as far as I've been able to find.  The best that Canada seems to
get into the US is a fair-to-middlin' imitation of the products of the big
US breweries - which for the most part might as well have been brewed in a
horse and carbonated.  If you want anything reasonable in a beer from any
brewer on this continent, and you don't want lighter-than-light lager, look
to a brewer who's producing less than 100,000 bbl/yr - not the
multi-million-barrel brewers in either the US or Canada.

Relax - don't worry - have a homebrew.

While I certainly agree that the vast majority of the 'beers' produced
south of the Canadian border border on poison, do not jump to
conclusions.

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. in CA produces a fine Pale Ale, and several
other excellent products.  You just have to take the time to find a
good, small brewer with a little pride.  I only wish there was one
in NJ!

All flames or comments to net.wine, eh.

I beg to differ.  Canadian beer can be excellent -- note

2) Molson Ale (Red Label)
