Quote:You're in Cali?  Whats popular there? Dumb question I guess, depending on where you are,etc.

 

Not a dumb question at all.

 

The most popular beers here are Coors Light, Bud Light and Corona. Blue Moon used to be really popular but I don't see it as much anymore.

 

As far as craft type beers, Sam Adams is always around. Firestone Walker is a brewery from Paso Robles, Ca and they are becoming really really popular here. Their 805 beer is probably in every bar in Fresno, although I think it is actually rtheir worst beer. Lagunitas, from the East Bay area, is another really popular brand around here. Their thing is IPAs which are the trendy thing to drink in Ca right now. North Coast Brewing from Fort Bragg, Ca is another one that I'm starting to see around a bit more that I really like a lot. They make an excellent Pilsner called Scrimshaw.

 

Really though, there are so many craft breweries in Ca right now, the choices are a little staggering. I think we have 5 or so breweries just in Fresno, although none of them are as successful as the bigger ones to the North and South.
