It's finally been answered: What's worse than a cold Omaha? A cold Los Angeles." Then I said, screw it, I can't read this crap. I read as far as here:

The only line I disagreed with was the one mentioning Surly as the newest up-and-coming brewery in MN. Let us not forget Flat Earth, who is also pumping out some great beer. Yup.
