    I’ve had #3, #10, #19, #22, and #24. All were pretty good. The chocolate stout was my favorite, but you really can’t drink it all night – kinda heavy.

    Number 17 & 25 is all I can claim.

    Angry Guy has probably drank about half this list.

    Yeah, the chocolate stouts are best with/for dessert. I was surprised there were no barley wines on the list, also a great after-dinner drink.

    At Upstream Brewery in Omaha they had a black cherry double-bock chocolate stout one time when I was there. Unfckbelivable.

    Here’s a fair question: Why isn’t there a microbrewery in SF? There are a good number of people who appreciate good beer here, and it makes sense that we have something – at least a real brewpub.
    Monk’s and Old Chicago have been doing pretty well with their selections of beer, and even Granite City is popular.

    We have a contract brewer that bought all of the SF Brewing Company’s equipment. He’ll make a batch for you. My friend Ben in Yankton uses him.

    The Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA is one of my favorite IPAs.

    I don’t think we have a good microbrewery in the state of South Dakota. I went to both the Firehouse in Rapid and Crow Peak in Spearfish last summer and neither were very good.

    Watertown has the only other microbrewery in the sate I know of. Anyone been there?

    Who needs a good microbrewery when we have so many great vineyards and winery . . . . yeah right.

    Prarie Berry actually has some pretty good wines – most of the better ones aren’t made from grapes, though.
    My favorite of all time was their wine made from wild grapes. Great stuff, but they must have picked every wild grape in the state to make that batch.

    I know, some of them are good – but not all.

    We used to get Hoot Raisin wine – tasted like Jagermeister (and felt like it the next day).
