And beyond the fact that Redhook's first efforts were Belgian-eqsue and Redhook was first thought of as a banana beer. Celis obviously raise national awareness of Belgian beer, although New Belgium started at the same time and quickly grew larger. While Ommegang shipped beer into markets East and West I'm guessing the East Coast effect was larger, paralleling New Belgium west of the Mississippi. Greg and Ben – Your comments are almost linked.

I was having a hard time giving your list justice without an entry from that fine brewery in Juneau... Stan,

We actually met Pierre Celis on a visit to the original Celis brewery outside of Austin, TX back in the day. My lil' brush with fame - Ben O. No Redhook ESB?

Stan,
On your Belgian influence, I think you forgot Cooperstown, NY and the Ommegang folk.

I got it from Beer Camp. Why hasn't someone taken the concept of Beer Camp and adapted it? But I digress. My list would be similar to the original, but would include Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald and New Amsterdam. The Great Lakes, because that was my first brewpub and New Amsterdam (do they still make it?) because that was the first real American beer (I didn't say craft beer) I ever had, that opened me up to the world of beer.

A happy accident indeed! My introduction to good beer was Sam Adams. I took a trip to boston in 1992 and ordered a Bud at pub. the waiter suggested I try Sam Adams. I did, the heavens oped and God blessed me. In the years since i've tried hundreds if not thousands of beers but I return to 'Sam' every now and then and still enjoy the flavor. Thanks to John Koch and the Boston brewing comunity. I ran into your website by accident. A happy accident indeed! My introduction to good beer was Sam Adams. I took a trip to boston in 1992
