Maxim's Top 25 Beers

Next to the lingerie photo spread of Amanda Bynes is a three page article listing the top 25 beers in Maxim Magazine. I'll be honest with you - I haven't read the actual article. I tried to read it online but they only have 5 beers listed there and urge you to go buy the magazine in stands. In lieu of this, I read the list on A Blog About Beer here.

I'm not sure what their criteria were but I have to say it's a really random collection of beer, some of which I wouldn't have placed on the list. Pyramid Hefeweizen - not my favorite and don't even get me started on Bud Light Golden Wheat and I am 100% sure that Sexual Chocolate (Imperial Stout) – Foothills Brewing was only picked for its name. Have you read Maxim? Definitely the name. Now my husband is a typical guy who isn't too picky about his beer and he likes that Bud Light Golden Wheat. With 20% of the beer listing being canned instead of bottled, it leads me to understand that perhaps this list caters to the typical guy who just likes beer.

It also struck me while going through the list that there weren't a lot of dark beers - are they not fashionable today? Or is it that women can better appreciate the chocolaty flavors of a Porter (there was 1 porter on the list). Go check out the full list at A Blog About Beer here or the partial list at Maxim.
