The blueberry was a bit subtle, but worked perfectly. Do you guys get Cascade sours in Ohio? Pricey but pretty damn good. Would love to compare with some local cincy sours.

We are pairing off in teams of 3-4 and making 3 batches of homemade beer. I guess we have to wait 3-4 weeks for it to be done but it should yield about a case/case and a half for each person. My nephews and my girlfriend's sons are going to get some freebies.

Russian River should be in final four.

Sierra Nevada is legit. I'll take them 3 times over Russian River and I live within an hour of both. RR is a 2 note brewery. Granted they hit those notes (IPA/Sour) well, but SN is much more diverse IMO. Huge hop/sour head I can see RR over SN. Craft beer nerd? No contest. SN every day and twice on sundays.

As someone who has lived in the South for the last 3 years I'd definitely say Terrapin is the best so at least they got that region right. Terrapin Hopsecutioner IPA and Liquid Bliss aka Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter are amazing. Although it was little said not to see any of the great Alabama craft breweries to be on there. I haven't had any beers from a few of the breweries in the south region might have to look for them today when I got to the local taproom. I was surprised Abita wasn't in this though.
