Moose Drool
From Montana, currently my favourite micro brew - although I'm sure next week I'll have something else to rave about. This golden brown ale has a rich and almost chocolatey taste. It's unique from the first sip and can take a little getting used to, I keep finding myself going back for more to be honest. Although I can see a new flavor of the month taking it's place now that spring has sprung.

I firmly believe there is no where in the world that offers such a variety of local beers as the Northwest. It's almost like a secret or something, perhaps locals simply take it all for granted - so for them / us it's no big deal. It's only when visitors come into town, from LA and New York and Europe do you realize just how great the variety is. They simply are amazed at the variety and the quality. There are four breweries between my house and work alone!
