For those of you who don't follow my Twitter account, Andrew Sullivan posted links to a couple craft beer related articles and how it is increasing its market share and output while macro-brewers are seeing declining numbers.

Lake Michigan Beer Tour Map
Just thought I would share this map I created in a cartography class. I tried to stay fairly close to the coast for the most part. I know there are a few I left out as well; those I either couldn't find any information on or they were chain breweries that I figured most people would not be interested in seeing if they wanted to do a geographically unique brewery tour. I wanted to include a wider geographic area, but there were already 55 on my list, so I left it at that. All of the data in the table I either took from personal experience or from what I could gather via their website and beeradvocate.

Favorite Breweries
Name your 3 most favorite breweries in order. I know it is tough, but if you could only drink beer from 3 breweries for the rest of your life what would they be?
Mine:
1) Founders (don't think I could live without their delicious stouts)
2) Two Brothers (love their wide array of styles they do)
3) Three Floyds (hate their distribution, but love their beer, anything they make is just delcious)

Lagunitas Lucky 13.alt Review
Hasn't been a beer review on here for awhile, so I thought I would post one that I put on beeradvocate earlier.
Lagunitas Lucky 13.alt
This is supposedly a blonde version of the normal Lucky 13 version (Large Mondo Red).
Poured from a 22 oz bottle into an English pint. Actually thought I was trying the other version at first (Large Mondo Red) and then realized that this is the .alt version.
Pours a sort of clear golden color with a slight amber hue. Not much of a head on there, carbonation seems prominent.
Aroma has sort of a sweet malt scent with a very distinctive kind of hops that I can't remember which one it is (Amarillo?). Some elements of citrus/grapefruit.
Hmm, taste is more complex than I was expecting. The hops hit you right away, citrus/grapefruit, with a little spiciness. This is followed by a sweet malty taste, which then has a little bit of a dry and bitter finish.
Mouthfeel is great, perfect carbonation, medium bodied. That sweet malty taste with a hint of the hops sticks to your mouth minutes after a sip.
Overall it is a pretty solid beer. This reminds me of all Lagunitas' beers. Above average, but nothing that blows you out of the water. Solid beer, would definitely drink again.
