Article: American Beer success at 2010 AIBA

American BeerMy latest article for Suite101 is here http://beers.suite101.com/article.cfm/american-beers-succeed-in-australian-international-beer-awards.

The article is targeted more at the American reader, who may or may not be aware of their countrymen's craft brewing success outside of the US.

For Australian readers, it's more just for interest's sake, as so many of the American medal-winning beers are not exported to Australia. I think only Rogue Ales & Great Divide beers are available, and then only from premium beer outlets such as Slowbeer, Purvis, International Beer Shop, and Platinum Cellars.

Oh, there is of course Samuel Adams Boston Lager. It won a Bronze in the European Lager (Packaged) category. But The Boston Beer Company won 30 medals, from 36 beers submitted. You would think that they could perhaps see their way to exporting some of these others ?
