A small local brewery in my area has won the best beer in American for the 7th year in a row. Russian River Brewing Company makes very limited quantities once a year of their Pliney the Elder, and only sell it in a few places including thier own pub in Santa Rosa California. It's a double IPA and is far from my favorite, but people line up for many hours to get a couple cases when it goes on sale. I don't know if it's mass hysteria or just the fact that most people can't get it very easily, so they hype it up and go nuts when they finally get a bottle to drink. It's kind of like Coors beer when I was a kid growing up, nobody in the midwest could get it and everybody wanted it. When I finally moved to California and drank some, it was like piss water. So every time I drove back to Ohio to visit family I'd load up my camper with as much as I could carry and sell a $10 case of beer for $100, and usually they would in-turn sell it for even more. I think Apple uses the same marketing strategy.

Here is the full story. http://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/foodnews/for-the-7th-year-the-best-beer-in-america-is/ar-AAbNI67 I can remember my dad loading cases of Coors into our station wagon and hauling it back to North Carolina and trading it for Strohs . . . not sure who got the short end of the stick there . . . . .when I stole a few cans to do my own taste test my dad wasn't too pleased and punishment was mowing my grandmas 1 acre backyard with a push mower. Good thing he never found out about the jar of corn liquor . . . . . I guess when it comes to beer everyone has there own tastes and personally I can't drink some of that special dark stuff or the "off the wall"special beers. There will always be someone that will tell you that the beer you like is "nasty" . . . .. . . .for me nothing fancy and make sure its cold enough to hurt your teeth.

I'll second that Sparty. Taste is relevant only to the taster. I've brewed a lot myself, also tried many draughts that were proclaimed wonderful by critics. Some were nice, some over-hyped. All in your own perception. Nothing tastes better than a recipe you worked up yourself, and your friends clean you out of. We're blessed by having Wisconsin close by, and the Beer & Cheese Festival in Madison is a marvelous, drunken, event with 100+ vendors supplying all that brewers have to offer.
