Bet not many people in Alabama would agree that those are the 2 best beers in Alabama
MAYBE top 10 in Alabama

Only 6 on the list that I have tried
One of them was horrible
6 out of the best 101 beers in America?

Actually have only had two of these and they were in the first 18 they showed. Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald and Fat Heads Head Hunter IPA. The strange part is that I didn't care too much for Porters back 5 years ago but I liked this GLEF beer before I realized it was a Porter, from a mixed 12.

Steve, did you not taste the Blackstone Porter on the tour? They definitely served some. It's the most decorated porter in the world, and one of the most decorated beers in the history of the GABF, and it's very tasty.

Both of the TN beers are quite good, but I also wouldn't consider them the best made here. The two Indiana beers are excellent. I like both of those AL beers... I used to cart Unobtanium back from Huntsville in the plastic milk jug growlers (they still do that?), and they'd be all swollen with pressure by the time I got to Nashville. Would have to drink the entire growler of 11.5% beer in a day or two... *hic*

By a quick scan, I think I've hit 38 of these. All of these lists are subjective and based on the reviewer's tastes, but there are some rockin' beers on there. PseudoSue, Prairie Bomb, Wicked Weed, Hopslam, New Glarius, Heady, etc. Mmmm....

Missed the Blackstone in the list, The St. Charles Porter!
