wreckofthehope Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 You say this, but I come from Britain, the most boring and grey place in the world, where nothing happens without booze of the finest quality! I reckon the Old World should get in on this, too! Seconded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the Old World should get in on this, too! I firmly believe that places with frequent dreary/cold weather make the best beer. We're not growing grapes so we need to ferment something else.

antihumanist Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Pacific Northwest might be drearier than England. 3/4ths of the year it's cloudy in Oregon, all year in Seattle, and it drizzles constantly. Hence why we love IPA's and Russian Imperial Stouts so much - how can you survive this weather but with really high ABV beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebeatgoeson Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I can ride my bike to half a dozen microbreweries without issue, and I'm not even in the beer capital of the state. North Carolina. Not the worst. Sursie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not ready for prime-time Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I firmly believe that places with frequent dreary/cold weather make the best beer. We're not growing grapes so we need to ferment something else. Or remote locations. The Appalachian mountains in NC have the best breweries in the state (opinion) so I think the connection here is: Locations in which people spend an inordinate amount of time indoors either due to inclement weather or boredom are best for brewing (and then enjoying) beer. Now that we've heard from the Northeast, Oregon, Colorado, California, Michigan, and NC, are we missing any? Any good brewing going on in Austin? The Southwest?

Sursie Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Good beer from Michigan to be sure. From all over. All I'm sayin is... Asheville NC alone has a dozen odd microbreweries, and fantastic ones at that (thebeatgoeson knows what I'm talkin about!) And that's just one mid-sized town. Even tiny, middle of nowhere towns--Kinston and Morganton NC for example--have perfected the craft. It's like nowhere else. marlowe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueberryscone Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Wisconsin, obvs. Visited my bf's family and he casually mentioned that his friend's dad owned a microbrewery. Like, that is a normal option for people in Wisconsin. Pretty sure their career day tests over there pop out "Doctor, lawyer, teacher, microbrewery manager, physicist..."

I did microbrewery research on many of my school's states. I would not hate getting used to Wisconsin beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grew up just outside of Morganton; Catawba Valley has really taken off in the last few years. New Belgium's move to Asheville was really the icing on the cake for me. Great to have one of the big companies there with ABC and LAB and so on. I'll certainly miss the culture anywhere else. marlowe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
