The Session #4: Local Brews

The SessionSnekse, of the Gastronomic Fight Club, has chosen the theme for Session #4 and it’s not a style. He wants us all to taste local beers.

His guidelines:

  • You can pick anything commercially made within 150 miles of your house, but try to pick the brewery or brewpub closest to your house.
  • You can select any beer or even a sampler if you want.
  • If you select a single beer, let us know why you choose this beer (e.g. favorite,seasonal,limited edition, best seller).
  • Preferably you’ll shy away from beers with wide distribution outside your immediate area.

    • I like this idea quite a bit, although I have 13 breweries within 150 miles of my house – and this is New Mexico. The Brewers Association last year figured out that the average American lives within 10 miles of a brewery, and next week is promoting the Great American Beer Tour as part of American Craft Beer Week.

    There’s every chance I’ll be walking to Session #4 and drinking a beer available only on draft.
