    Yard and Mad Mex are your best bet for good beer. Or go to Giant Eagle haha.

    I understood the initial assertion. Was hoping you (and other people who feel the same) would name some of the major US breweries they prefer.

    Victory has an outstanding line up across the board as well.

    @tommyguz I somehow just noticed your quote about Sweet Repute. If you do have an extra, I'd love to try to work out a deal for it. If not, no big deal. I appreciate the thought either way.

    Was in Oakland for a meeting and decided to swing by on my back to Morningside... Saw the $10 price point and thought "Eh, whatevs... I payed just as much at WF for 10 oz.. I'll do it again." Then I got a 5 oz. pour. Oye. Won't say I'm surprised, but shout-out to @wyckyd_sceptre for being a little more gentle.

    i think founders is up there. But i have had some beers by them i wasnt satisfied with. Rubaeus/blushing monk. Dirty b.
    Bells im not as versed in, but havent come across much I dont care for.
    I was on a Southern Tier kick, but ended up having a couple i really hated. Some choklate mess and a holiday warmer dud. They do however make two of the only three pumpkin beers i can drink.
    Harpoon was doing great until they started with all these shandy games and hefeweizen offshoots. Still love em.
    Honestly, although the quality is generally much lower, Narragansett has numerous handfulls of beers i genuinely enjoy.

    @jbwimer haha thanks. Whats funny is, I was sitting there with the Founders rep and at first the pours were on the board at $10/9oz and I was shocked. Pretty good deal. Then someone erased it and wrote $10/8oz. Then they started running out of that size glassware, so who fucking knows the size of drafts actually being poured. In fact I saw @PSU_Mike get a draft, then his friend got one and it was obviously way bigger.

    I would be surprised if it ended up kicking, but there can't be much left in the keg.
