    Scenario: you have friends coming to your house from out of state. They are huge craft beer fans and like all styles, but haven’t had a beer from your state yet.

    What is the one beer from your state that you would share with this group of friends?

    Would go with Tröegs Perpetual IPA because I find it to be one of the most brewed, consistent, and well rounded beers the state of PA has to offer. Seems like it would be a good introduction.

    To add, this isn’t really happening. Just thought it would be fun to see all of the different beers people would suggest.

    Pretty much anything from Hidden River. My most recent was Malleable Lens NEIPA and it was excellent.

    Hard not to give them a Spotted Cow from New Glarus. Of course there are many other New Glarus beers as well.

    Depends on their tastes in beer.

    Hopheads? Georgetown Bodhizafa.

    Wild ales? Something from Garden Path.

    Lagers? Chuckanut Pilsner.

    BA Stouts? Fremont.

    Your scenario is harder than I thought at first. I'm torn between Pliny and Like Riding A Bike (west coast ipa) from Urban Roots. I still think lean malt ipas that are loaded with late addition aroma hops laid over a nice bitter finish.

    But when I just read the title, Oyster Stout from HenHouse! That's the beer I would share with a friend from BA. It's a style that is under appreciated, well suited to my region where oyster production is an economic industry and where these drier stouts lend themselves well to the shoulder seasons all the way through our mild winters.

    Plus, that shits super good!

    This is RI’s best beer. I don’t drink IPA that often but I can recognize this as great.

    So many ways to go, as some people have noted. Given its awards and fairly broad appeal in its style, I'd go with Optimal Wit from Port City. Hardywood's Gingerbread Stout and Ocelot Talking Backwards would be other conditional options (honorable mention to Alewekrs BBP).

    For my proclaimed location of DC, On the Wings of Armageddon.
