Can 25 New Beers Make White People Dance?

If you're reading this then you obviously never visited the newsstand or checked your mailbox. Man mag Maxim Magazine recently released their list of Top 25 New Beers of 2009. In that list from the area was one, that's right, one Seattle brew. Last we checked there are at least nineteen in city alone and yet, strangely none on the list.

So let's get this straight, Pike's Seattle Beer Week Double IPA, not good enough? And no one cares that Elysian Haleakala Hibiscus Sour, was made to celebrate Hawaii’s 50th anniversary as a US state?

Based on this list, the other "new" brews from the area can just break a bottle off and stab themselves.to make things a little uncomfortable, last we checked Pyramid used to have an award winning beer: Pyramid Hefeweizen. Mind you Haywire (couch, Pyramid) Hefeweizen is a popular choice at summer parties, company outings, and other events, but we thought this was a new beer list.

Same goes for the out-of- towners like North Coast with their Old Stock (it’s been around for at least six years and tasty after those six years).
Now in the interest of being fair, there are some righteous brews on this list but still, only only one from Washington? So here's their list, so you compare it to yours.

1. Butternuts Beer & Ale Porkslap Pale Ale
2. Widmer Brothers Drifter Pale Ale
3. Great Divide Hoss ("Best Name")
4. New Belgium Hoptober ("Staff's No.1")
5. Victory Helios Ale
6. Oskar Blues Ten Fidy
7. Pyramid Haywire
8. Sam Adams Noble Pils
9. Sierra Nevada Torpedo
10. Clipper City Marz Hon ("Chug Easy")
11. Bud Light Golden Wheat (yeah, yeah...we all knew it was coming)
12. 21st Amendment Brew Free! Or Die IPA
13. Dogfish Head Indian Brown
14. North Coast Old Stock
15. Foothills Sexual Chocolate
16. Deschutes Green Lakes Organic Ale
17. Upslope Pale Ale ("Best Pale Ale")
18. Intercourse Brewing Blue Ball Porter (har-har...obvious why this was chosen)
19. Ballast Point Calico
20. New Glarus Fat Squirrel
21. Brooklyn Local 1 ("Best Wine Sub")
22. Barley Brown's Tumble Off
23. Firestone Walker Union Jack ("Best IPA")
