Top 50 Places to Have a Beer in America & Top 50 American Craft Beers

In celebration of American Craft Beer Week, Beer Advocate compiled a list of the Top 50 American Craft Beers and the Top 50 Places to Have a Beer in America as ranked by their readers/reviewers. I'm happy to see that Minneapolis Town Hall made both lists - their Masala Mama IPA was ranked seventh, outranking some very nice beers, and Minneapolis Town Hall was ranked 46th overall as a place to have a beer in America. Congrats!
