Vermont - Harpoon IPA, Long Trail, Otter Creek and Magic Hat are mighty tasty beers.

Haha, what's with the bourbon post?? It reminded me of that George Thorogood song, 1 bourbon, 1 scotch, and 1 beer.

Anyways, I've tried a lot of beer, but my favorite has to be Miller Lite. Guess I'm just a light beer kinda guy. I can't stand Guiness and it's almost syruppy texture, and I don't do Sam Adams very well either.

When in KY, try the BBC Nut Brown Ale. I was pleasantly surprised to find some good brews there, including a Red: Welcome To Bluegrass Brewing Co. (http://www.bluegrassbrew.com/beers.htm - broken link). Saw some cool cicadas there, too, but that's a different thread...

I've never heard of nitogen carbonation, is there any great benefit to it?

Technically, "nitrogen carbonation" is an oxymoron. It's either carbonated or nitrogenated. Nitrogen offers a much smoother, creamier texture. Whenever you order Guinness on tap, it's drawn by nitrogen, not carbon gas. Same with Murphy's or Beamish on tap. A few other English ales are the same way, notably Boddington's. Caffrey's used to be that way, but I believe they stopped selling Caffrey's in the U.S. Guinness cans are also nitrogenated, as are Wexford cans, and I believe Tetley's cans as well. I think the Guinness bottles that use the "draught" recipe are also nitrogenated, but the standard tan-label "Guinness Extra Stout" is carbonated.

Isn't the gas used with tap beer merely a propellant, does it really becme incorporated in the beer? I've had Guinness on tap that was yummy, wasn't all that thrilled when I tried the draft cans though, prefer the small bottles.
