All well known.  All easily purchased even here in the hinterlands.  All
ultimately drinkable.

they're not true "microbrews" in the Yank sense of the term---microbrews and
beers available on the national market are mutually exclusive.  There is a
certain cachet about "microbrew" beers being of better quality, so national
distributors have latched on to the word as a marketing ploy.  True
microbrews are only available at one pub, generally.  At most they are
available in one metropolitan region.

More than you ever wanted to know....

Strange how vague my recollections of the evening became -
