>>>Beer made in the United States? What is that? Chemicals, contaminated water, and extra large bubbles! Have some commercials on television and pass the swirl off as “Beer”. Americans cannot spell beer! They do not know what good beer is.

>>There is a TON of really great beer made in the US, if you ignore the "top selling" beers. Craft and micro brews are where it's at. Complaining about American beer is kind of like complaining that no one makes really good music anymore but you've only ever listed to a top 40 station.

>Do you have any that you would recommend? I have tried a good number over the years and would like to find one that I enjoy. I like a beer that retains its head. As for taste that is an individual matter! :)

I went to a tasting at North Coast Brewing Co in Ft. Bragg a couple years ago. I tried a dozen or so of their offerings. They make a stout called Old Rasputin which I was happy to learn they distribute. I don't drink that much beer and typically I go for Murphy's or Guiness when I want a stout but Old Rasputin offers a difference that I enjoy from time to time.
