State Beer Challenge

Well it's a third of the way through June and I wanted to post about this sooner but forgot.  June is the month for the state beer challenge.  Can you make it a whole month with drinking only beer that was made in your home state?

For some of us it is a lot easier than others.  Here in Michigan I get the good fortune of Bells, Founders, Jolly Pumpkin, Shorts, Darkhorse, New Holland, Kuhnhenn, etc....  Most people are jealous to get only a few of these offerings and here I am getting them all...  California, Oregon, and Colorado are about the only other states that have such a good variety of offerings that would make this challenge a cake walk.

Unfortunately I am already out of the challenge.  Bach on the 5th my wife finished her first 5k race and as a congratulations we drank the last of the beers we bought on our honeymoon, a batch 5 Supplication from Russian River Brewing Co.  It was worth not finishing the challenge!
