You understand that more does not equal better and that's only Asians were talking about and of those Asians whats there ethnic breakout and how many per relation to non asians...there more to this then we got lots of um and they make good food. I like American pizza better than Italian pizza that doesn't make Italian pizza bad. I like pizza from Chicago better than NYC neither is bad because I like prefer the dough from Chicago
A CDA is a Dark IPA a derivative of an English beer
IRA another derivative of an IPA
Rye's of all sorts are bit hard to get ahold of in the north of Europe but not in Spain Greece and Turkey..
Like I said many posts ago US micro brews are great, I don't think they're "better" than here. I love Bell's and Founders in all they're varied seasonal varieties but I like them because they in many way symbolize my past.
