How knows where the ingrediants in the micro brew come from! Yeah it is brewed down the road but….

No bitterness whatsoever. In fact, some American craft brewers are making Bohemian-style Pilsners that taste better than ones I've had while traveling through Czech. They use the same hops and grains, but the local ones are fresher. As far the statement that "Local is a much better view," well, there is a movement underway to bring more awareness of foods, beers and wines to the local level. It's something that's fairly big here in Missoula. When it applies to craft beer, it's the notion that something you buy fresh out of the tap is often better than something that has sat on a store shelf for months. Tim Mike,

On the other hand, what does the statement "Because local is a much better view" even mean. Local is a view? Hmmm. I guess I learned something new today.

It was like a watered-down microbrew. Weak sauce, in other words. It is a bit cheaper than comparable microbrews, but price isn't an overriding criteria when I'm at the beer store. I'd rather taste something delicious. I had a similar experience with Budweiser American Ale. It was like a watered-down microbrew. Weak sauce, in other words.
