After about a year of critically tasting beers I've definitely decided that my absolute favorite beer is an American IPA called Furious from the Surly Brewing Company in Minnesota.

I have only had it on tap in bars, but it also comes in 14 ounce cans. If you should happen to see this can at your favorite carry-out do yourself a favor and buy as many of them as you can afford. (I think their cans are very ugly, and if I didn't know what was inside would not bother picking up the can for further inspection.)

The Greyhound Brewery has selected the following hop varieties to plant on its estate hop field:

Cascade
Centennial
Chinook
Willamette

I added this song to my Zune a couple weeks ago and I am embarrassed to admit how many times per day I listen to it while bouncing in my chair at work.
