Beer
Money reports on Ratebeer.com's 50 best beers. Four of my favorites are in the top ten, Bell's (Michigan's and the country's best), Three Floyds (so close to Michigan, so far away; not one place stocks it), Stone (why oh why don't they ship to Michigan), and Dogfish (pure hops). The one beer I really want is Pizza Port, which I don't know if you can even get outside of Solana Beach, or the pizza place it's brewed at. America is in the lead when it comes to micros. Belgium is in the lead for heaven. America next. One beer missing from the list I love, Fish Tale. Another, Duchess. But then again, I also dig the low level Canadian take on Belgian style, Unibroue's Trois Pistoles.
In the meantime, we've got the Michigan Summer Beer Fest on the schedule for Saturday. All Michigan beer, all day. You can't go wrong with that.

Bell's is a pretty small crew. And they are definitely not well known outside of the midwest. Too bad; they are one of the best.
So, are you going to either? :)

Yeah, it's odd. But there's a similiar event going on in - get this - State College at the same time. And they are on that list. Maybe they can only do one at a time and need some outside exposure.

Bell's isn't on that beerfest list. Aieee!
I bottled pale ale and chocolate brown yesterday. Both very good, but if the pale is like the last one, it'll be past its prime in six weeks.
