Mike's List

For those who don't know, Mike Sober (aka Big Mike, Taliban Mike) is a man of few words and exceptional beer taste. As co-host for the award winning beer podcast, Pacific Brew News, it is assumed (and rightfully so) that the man knows a thing or two about anything beer related... and today he's willing to share. Listed below is a partial list of the beers Big Mike considers among his favorites. I encourage you all to submit feedback requesting more of Mike - his writing skills and creativity are second to none and I simply love seeing in words what goes through this man's head.

Here it is - this list.
