BeerCity USA – 2012
Here we go again. Charlie Parpazian every year loves to see the beer geeks and their passion for where they live. It is voting time for Beer City USA. For the past few years this has become quite the interesting polling to follow. I have heard of certain “Weird” cities actually throwing the polls due to they do not believe in this poll. Then there are those cities that actually take pride in there city. Now, Asheville NC keeps winning 3 years in a row now and I got great friends there and wish them good luck but it is time we bring this back to the Pacific NW. Come on people lets do this – Calling on you from Portland, Seattle hell even Olympia lets vote and bring this title back – BeerCity USA. Below is how you can nominate your city or even put in a write in vote like I have for Olympia WA. Are you serious I am sure I will hear – HELL yes I am and if you ever need proof come on out I will show you how Oly has a killer beer scene.
It’s gonna be close. Asheville has some great momentum going for it. But there has to be some pride involved making other cities want to take away the crown. The announcement of Sierra Nevada and New Belgium going to the Asheville area adds to their momentum too. It’s hard to imagine 4 years in a row, but I’m not making any bets. :
To the victor go the – Cheers. 😉

PS. We can all say “cheers” regardless of the outcome.
Sorry, my friend, but it will be Tampa, if I have any say about it. And trust me. I have plenty to say.
