Norm you should send some of that out west- those guys need a taste of that. They are always talking about the sierra nevada celebration ale (btw we have that out here too) although the gearys is a different type of beer i would put above all of those cali "micros"-
I want to vote for my favorite beer - but you cant get it in the states anymore but here it is anyway-

One of my college roommates, my senior year, was Matt Geary (son of the owner). We got a LOT of free beer that year. Back at home, he took us for a tour of the brewery, and we got to drink right off of one of the 500 gallon conditioning casks. I felt like Homer or one of the guys from Strange Brew.
