Wow! The description sounded wonderfully complex and nuanced. Too bad I can't find it in my neck of the woods...

Congratulations on making the list Eric.

I hope I can get an opportunity to try it some day.
Unfortunately for me I'm unlikely to see many of those on the list coming my way soon. Samuel Adams beers do make it out our way and one of them took out the grand Champion at our major beer awards in Melbourne a couple of years back. I think I've seen some of the Sierra Nevada around but that is about it.
On the upside though, there are plenty of craft breweries around in Australia and it is the only area of the beer market that is growing here so there is plenty to keep me amused.
