Our last article was about the best beer brands of the United Kingdom<\/a>. This time we will investigate the brews in the land of Uncle Sam by comparing them and setting up a sequence. More than 3000 breweries are producing beer<\/strong> in the United States, including industry giants, brew pubs and microbreweries.<\/p>\n

The country produced 196 million barrels of beer in 2012. The USA is the second biggest beer drinking nation<\/strong> after China, but this may be due to the country’s size, since if we look on the \u201eper capita\u201d datas, we find out that the rank of the USA is only the fifteenth.<\/p>\n

Beer consumption was an integral part during the colonial years, but 1919 seemed to be turning point: in this year the Eigteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution<\/a> came into force, which striked the alcohol market in a high degree. All alcoholic beverage has been prohibited<\/strong>, and this forced nearly all American breweries to close.<\/p>\n

After the end of prohibition the industry segmented into a small number of large companies, which have mostly merged into large international conglomerates like SABMiller or Anheuser-Busch InBey by the 21st<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n

American lager is the most commonly produced beer type<\/strong> by the big companies, which is a form of pale lager. US people recently tend to appreciate more the individuality and character of craft beers produced by small breweries mostly founded since the 1980s. The indigenouos beer styles in the United States include amber ale, cream ale and California common.<\/p>\n

New craft styles include American Pale ale, American IPA, India Pale Lager, Black IPA, American \u201eDouble\u201d or \u201eImperial\u201d IPA. These beers contain less preservatives<\/strong> and have more complex and richer flavors, which quality is due to the higher hops content<\/a>. Hops is a natural preservative, so some crafts beer admirers claim that these beers have more health benefits<\/strong>. Local production and\u00a0 interesting packaging are further advantages of this style.<\/p>\n

6. Russian River Brewing Company<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

The original brewery (Russian River Brewing Company, RRBC abbreviated) was founded by Korbel Champgane Cellars<\/a> in Guerneville near the Russian River.<\/p>\n

In 2003 the company offered the rights to Vinnie Cilurzo and his wife, Natalie, which meant a big change in style. They turned the company into a Brew pub<\/strong> and they support now charity funds and local music bands. The demand became huge, even bigger than the supply. But quality is more important than quantity<\/strong> for them.<\/p>\n

Vinnie<\/a> won many awards and he is the first brewer who made a Double I.P.A. <\/strong>commercially. The couple is together since 1990, which is a huge achievement! Natalie’s favorite quote is “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Traditional aggressively hopped California style<\/strong> ales, Belgian inspired ales and barrel aged beers are in focus at the brewery. The beers include poetic labels as Blind Pig, Pliny the Elder, Damnation, Beatification, Supplication, Rejection, Salvation and many more.<\/p>\n
