Best states to drink beer
I like a good beer. My top 10?
1. Boddingtons*
2. Caffrey’s Irish Ale
3. Stella Artois
4. Corona with lime
5. Lagunitas’ A Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale
6. Heineken
7. Deschutes’ Black Butte Porter
8. Ruhstaller’s Gilt Edge
9. Blue Moon
10. Pyramid Apricot Ale
*My #1 really varies, depending on the day and my mood.
At any rate, I’m glad to live in a state that appreciates beer – where I can procure some wonderful locally brewed beers, and get my favorites from the U.K. easily.
Thrillist.com agrees – and has put together its ranking of every state based on the quality and quantity of the beer they produce. California was #2, only surpassed by Oregon (which I have to say does have some wonderful brews).
How did your state do? And what’s your favorite beer?

Morland’s Old Speckled Hen and Hook Norton’s Old Hooky would be in my top ten. Not sure about the other eight – think it would vary on my mood and what I have tasted recently. I like Wetherspoons pubs where they have half a dozen or more real ales to taste.
Yep, I do like a real ale when I’m in the U.K. It’s much harder to find stateside.
Actually, I hate beer. Yuk. I’m not even trying the one called Apricot Ale. But I’ll be tweeting this, nonetheless 😉
LOL! Yes, my husband can’t even look at the apricot ale, much less try it. But it’s a guilty pleasure of mine (I’ve probably lost my beer cred by admitting this) and I also convince myself that at least I’m consuming some of my daily serving of fruit.
