While the American brands have taken over our domestic mega-beer market our craft brewers have not had much competition. Recently we have seen more craft beer migrating north. Could this be the end of our micro-sovereignty? In what could shape up to be a rematch of the World Junior Hockey Championship, we are pitting four southern invaders against four local brews in a blind tasting. Can we withstand the onslaught of Brooklyn, Dogfish Head, Rogue, and Southern Tier or will we drunkenly capitulate? Is there any middle ground when the Yankees are coming?
