You want (real) beer, be sure to visit the Pacific Northwest sometime.

I moved to this area (actually New Castle Country, DE) from Joe's stomping grounds where I favored San Marcos based Stone Brewery's IPA. Currently I am favoring Dogfish Head's 90 Minute IPA.

Based your obviously in-depth knowledge, is there a better local brew available in bottles?

The Lite crowd would hurl if they tried a weissbier with it's floating yeast particles. Give the US consumer a bland piss colored beer sold by a couple of bimbos.

The term "dunkel" is also applied to dark top-fermented wheat beers (weissbiers) such as Franziskaner Dunkel Hefe-Weissbier and Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel. Schneider Weisse is half way between an ordinary Weiss and a Dunkel. These include a yeast sediment that should be swirled in the last part of the bottle and poured into the glass. The tastes often include toffee, nuts, spicy hops, chocolate and perhaps a little coffee.

Well Shaun, you've just made it hard to criticize you at any point in the future. I'm a beer snob too.
