I would have thought you would have agreed on this one. Yes, Midwest brewers do make a terrific range of beers beyond hoppy ones. But so do some Northwest brewers and it is a shame that the hop neanderthals overlook that. I guess it is "amount of obsessive attention they get" issue with you. My beef is they would consider Bell's Two-Hearted Ale (maybe 60 IBU) "so mid-1990s" though it remains one of the world's best IPAs. But what I really want to know is where I get one of those hop drums. I don't think the people who make hop pillows sell those. Gee, Lew. I would have thought you would have agreed on this one.

The Midwest has much more going for it in their lager mastery and Belgian emulation, beauties that the PNW just don't get. It's our fault that the cavemen in Seattle need a spiked hop-club through their tongues to realize that they're drinking beer? And really...Pyramid's Alehouses only report spikes in consumption during the playoffs? What kind of fans are they? Can't be bothered to drink during the season? Typical. Keep beating that hop drum, Stan. Ah, Stan, why play to the PNW’s supposed strengths?
