  2. I am going to have to look for Crooked Line Detour IPA, hopefully one of the local stores around me carries it.

  3. Arn - I feel a bit bad about Magic Rock not being in there somewhere because I love there beer. They were a very close second for about 4 of the above but I had to be honest, and I think having runners up is a cop out.

    eric - the crooked line IPA is bloody awesome!
