United States Beer Reviews
Although beer existed in the United States from its birth (and before), it wasn’t until Prohibition that the state of beer in America was truly united. Today, the United States is arguably the world’s most important beer market, where brewers enjoy the most freedom to practice and advance their craft. The market is a true melting pot of brewing styles and traditions, and the beer community is as vibrant as it is diverse. While things really got started during and as a result of the Prohibition Era (1919-1933), fermented drinks pre-date the country’s founding in 1776. Hailed as a land of opportunity, huge macrobrewing enterprises like AB InBev and MillerCoors co-exist alongside a growing number of small craft beer companies. A country built by immigrants, America has heavy European brewing influences. The number of influential breweries are too great to number, and the list continues to evolve as independent brewers push innovation in the craft and give the world more and more interesting lagers and ales to explore.

New Glarus Moon Man No Coast Pale Ale
Matt: This beer is very aromatic- with a bright hop blast right up front. It smells citrusy, a bit resiny, bright and hoppy. Pours clear, golden color with a nice foamy head. The first sip is absolutely delicious and afterward you realize you have in your glass a...
Founders Double Trouble Imperial IPA
John S: This imperial IPA by Founders of Grand Rapids pours a golden orange with not much head at all and oh, does it smell delicious! It’s like the blue-scented marker in kindergarten that you just can’t stop smelling and before you know it your nose is all blue. The...
