To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.

Beer is the answer.

The Ginger Man in Austin, Texas.

Max's is amazing.

I've been to 11 out of the 20 in the article.  They were all pretty amazing.

11 here also.  Have you hit HopCat yet?  I like that place, really like it!

We'll be in Grand Rapids tomorrow.  Is that the best place?  I haven't researched it yet.

Been to few of those, but of course, I feel like they miss a few from the country's second largest city!

Hopcat, Founders and Brewery Vivant would be on my list downtown.  All within walking distance of each other, but Brewery Vivant is about 1 mile from Hopcat.  Should be no problem with the fine weather we are having.

North of town the Hideout is said to be good, have not been.

Edit - Forgot to say bring your spare liver!

East Coast bias was there.  Nothing from SD or Seattle?

Naked City from Seattle was there.  It's a really good place.  I would certainly put it on a list of the best beer bars in Seattle, but I'm not sure it would be my #1.  I hope Don isn't reading this.

Sorry Tom, I missed that.  Not familiar with it, was thinking of the ones that get more press.

No worries.  There was a pretty clear East coast bias though.

Have you ever been to Prague (Czech Republic, Europe)? If you would like ti visit a city where approximately 300 bars and restaurant have their home-brewed beer then go there! You might be there for a week or even a month and will get served a different sort of beer at each location. This might be the best place in the world for beer enthusiasts!

[bluesman]

Nice list. I've been to a few...and would like to hit some of the others.
