Here in Minnesota, the best local beers are James Page Voyageur Pale Ale and Summit Pale Ale.Of the nationally distributed beers, I favor Redhook ESB or IPA.
I'm referring to bottled beer you drink at home. Most bars still serve it way too cold.

Here's a quote for you: "Beer is liquid bread. Most American beers are like Wonderbread. What we're brewing here is like a good rye or pumpernickel." -- Mark Stutrud, founder and owner of Summit Brewing Company.
