HB 2934 defines craft beer as a beverage "not less than six percent and not more than fifteen percent alcohol by volume", and unlike some of the other previous bills doesn't require higher alcohol beers to be sold through state wholesale. I know it's died on the vine in previous years, but hey, maybe now it's time? http://www.legis.state.wv.us/Bill_Status/Bills_history.cfm?input=2934&year=2008&sessiontype=RS&btype=bill Just as a note, I was looking through the WV Legislature site, and as of 1/9/08, HB 2934 has been reintroduced.

Glad to see that it is being appreciated here in WV. I am a tad biased, being a Cleveland transplant (7 years ago), but my first exposure to this fine porter was straight out of the taps at the Great Lakes Brewery and it is a shame that we can not (yet) get a fresh pint here in Charleston. My vote for 2nd best would probably be homebrew inspired Rogue HazelNut Brown Nectar. Thanks for the article.

The Magic Hat #9 is a very quaffable beer with an interesting complexity. It is also available on tap at several Charleston locations.

Good picks. I would have gone with Hobgoblin or Appy Ale from the Cold Spot. They either put it on nitro or something. But, it is so different there that other places I've had it. I had Sella on a plane coming back from Brussels. It's not that bad. It is more like a Helles than an American lager. Cris,....An apprentice curmudgeon. Yes, he can wreck a thread or forum. But, with a great dry wit! Jamil Zainasheff may care more about beer clean glasses? But hey, he also wears a "clean suit" in his home yeast lab.
