Dakota wrote My favorite regional right now is "Two Hearted Ale" (an IPA) out of Kalamazoo, Michigan..
Unfortuantely, this is not available in the stores here in Texas - well, at least not in North Texas. That's brewed by Bell's, isn't it? It's a very good IPA. I've had other Bell's brews that I've enjoyed, too.

A close second is "Great Lakes Burning River Pale Ale" out of Cleveland.
I've had some of the Great Lakes brews, but can't remember if I've had this one, or not. Most of them have been pretty good. Again, we don't see those here.

Aha! We do get Summit Extra Pale Ale! This was my wife's favorite until I brought home Stone Ruination. Now, I have to keep the fridge stocked with enough Ruination for us both!
