Sat, 9 Jun 2001 00:48:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author morris57 - I never have bought into the notion that a beer from one state is better than a beer from another state just because of where it was brewed. As my taste for beer has evolved (right now, I'm at a Cro-Magnum Man level of beer drinker evolution) I have...
