What is your favorite microbrewery?
My favorites right now are:
New Glarus - Their Thumbprint series are usually excellent
Central Waters - Best barrel aged beer around
O'so - Really good sours being produced here

I love New Glarus "Spotted Cow" -- welcome to the club, right? -- but I also really like Lucid "Air" and Surly "Cynic Ale"

A good replacement for people that like to sit all day drinking Miller Lite. Surly stuff is all pretty good, though they tend to lean hoppy, and I tend to not like hoppy beer quite as much as other styles. |

I hear that. I don't like hoppy. Tastes like grapefruit to me -- which I hate.

Ha BW I LOVE grapefruit-ey beers (in the summer).
I know it's girly but when I worked at Total Wine I drank a lot of higher quality ciders.
There was a pear cider that was good, can't think of the brand.

My brother in law has done some homebrew. He was in seminary and the guys did it. They made stuff like "The Pietist" and that kind of thing. Also, they made some mead that I swear tasted like flat Mountain Dew.

He wants to open his own Meadery someday. |

That's.....a thing? Was the mead I tasted -- see above -- typical flavor-wise?

He makes some using different types of tea made by a local teahouse, various fruits, and a spiced mead that is cinnamony and amazing in eggnog at the holidays. Maine Meadworks makes outstanding traditional and carbonated meads. |

Founders: Lizard of Koz. If you haven't tried it yet, it's worth the $16. A mixture of blueberries,vanilla, chocolate, all aged in a bourbon barrel.
