But increasingly foodies are finding that some beers deserve same treatment as fine wine, and some craft beers approach the same alcohol content as wine as well. Americans are no longer limiting their beer choices; now hundreds of smaller breweries have sprung up across the country offering a wider range of options for the public’s palette. Many stores and restaurants are also importing specialty beers from abroad for their patrons. A few nearby restaurants have started hosting beer tastings, where they pair their favorite specialty beers with dishes that will complement the brews’ taste. For local beer lovers, here are some best bets for a good selection.
