The Seven Best American Microbrews


Sometimes there is nothing better than to kick back after a long day and have a few beers. Recently a number of microbreweries have popped up throughout the country, and they are making some of the best domestic beers around. Here are the ones you should look for when you need a cold one:

  1. Ommegang Three Philosophers. “A blend of two classic Belgian styles, strong dark ale and cherry lambic, this beer perfectly combines dark warming goodness and hints of chocolate, cherry, and coffee, making it the best night-hued ale on Earth.”
  2. Stone Levitation Ale. "It has a deep amber body, roasted-malt flavors reminiscent of the finest English ales, and the sturdy dose of hops you’d expect from a leader of the West Coast’s “extreme beer” movement. The result is the tastiest session ale we’ve had this year.”
  3. Flying Fish Exit 4.“This tripel (a Belgian term signifying that a massive dose of grain has been used to create the mash, the first stage in the brewing process) has an ample hop bitterness that balances the fruity, grain-given heft.”
  4. Allagash Confluence. “Belgian yeast strains, German, American, and English hops, and a transatlantic medley of grains make for a perfect evening sipper that’s earthy, tart, and winelike on the front end, warm and creamy on the back end, and delicious throughout.”
  5. Left Hand Polestar. “Because there are no overwhelming flavors to mask mistakes, pilsners are easy to screw up. Which makes a flawless one, like this delicate brew, with its perfect carbonation and enough malt to give it real flavor, that much more impressive.”
  6. Odell 90 Shilling Scottish Ale. “This incredibly drinkable Colorado brew is great in cold weather: warming and rich but not too heavy.”
  7. Dogfish Head Squall IPA. “Hoppy but shockingly drink-able, thanks to the brewmaster’s dedication to balancing insane quantities of hops and malt.”
