Local 60 Beer Tasting!

My NBC News Debut

     Back in the end of October, I had the chance to do a three and a half minute segment on craft beers for the Saturday morning NBC News.  Enjoy!

Beer Rating Sites

    There are over 1600 craft breweries in the USA and it is almost impossible to know what are the great beers that all those breweries have to offer and where are the good places in a city to get them.  The good news for the internet savvy who has a thirst for only the most interesting brews, there are a couple of great sites you can go to to find out more then you ever wanted to know about craft beer!  The two sites that you really need to hit up are BeerAdvocate and RateBeer, both of which have the benefit of being run by passionate beer lovers who have created a haven for users to express their opinion on their favorite frothy concoctions.

BeerAdvocate.com is an outstanding site, that is simple to navigate and is populated by some of the most hardcore and critical beer aficionados on the internet today.  This site allows the user to search beers by name and brewery, but it also allows you to find breweries, beer stores and home brew shops in all 50 states and around the world.

RateBeer.com is also very good, containing many well written articles and easy searches to find whatever beer you are looking for.  The downside of this site is that a bit more difficult to navigate and has recently added a "premium content" aspect which has nerfed the usefulness of many aspects of this site.
