The Dive Watch Connection

In the case you haven't guessed, I'm a big beer fan

We have a bunch of the top makers within striking distance of my house and my friends and I often take field trips to visit (weekly to Treehouse sometimes).

If you are looking for some good craft beer in your state, here is a list of the top rated in each state...

BTW - we need a beer forum

I don't remember ever having anything from Avery, but I know Darin likes quite a few of their offerings. My current favorite is Ranger IPA from New Belgium.

Top beers from Beer Advocate: http://www.beeradvocate.com/lists/top/

Lawson's Sip of Sunshine and Treehouse Alter Ego are my two current favorites

There are a few micro breweries near my new house in Florida I am going to try. I'll report back.

This is the list for B.C. Lots to try!

Avery is pretty awesome honestly. But we have so many damn breweries around here I can't even keep up.

Last I heard we have 3-4 new breweries every month.

I'm talking good breweries though

Mark - have you tried the offerings from Back East Brewing Co? I think they outshine Hooker in a lot of their offerings.
