Nearly equal in disgust is what I found out at the gargantuan liquor store just an hour ago: it appears as though Harpoon is a regional IPA, and it doesn't make it to the Dakotas. Should I just drink Red Hook IPA then?
Galloway is rooting for Syria, and thus is rooting for the destruction of Lebanon. Not too long ago the Syrian government assassinated Lebanese P.M. Rafik Hariri in Beirut. I guess Galloway doesn't give a shit about the Phoenicians, let alone the mid-East.
MFT: Ignore JJ on beer and everything, except ouzo and mountain goats. Harpoon is good beer, one of the better ones as far as mass-produced beers go. So, OK, it's not Stone IPA, but I dare you to find Stone IPA at the corner grocery store. And, if you do find it, be prepared to cough up $5 per bottle, instead of $20 for a case of Harpoon. It's like saying, Roederer is shite, drink Dom Perignon cuvee millesimee. Excusez moi!
AI, no Harpoon in northern Dakota. Any other recommends?
Five dollars/bottle does sound a bit steep.
North Dakota doesn't allow beer or wine or booze to be sold at grocery stores, just liquor stores proper. I don't think Minnesota does either. In fact, they have to stop selling liquor in Minnesota after 10:00pm.
You can still order a drink in a bar, but the Minnesota Scandinavians say, "No öl efter klocken i åtta." (or something to that effect).

Harpoon is shite. Ignore AI on beer and everything except yardwork. Stick to Stone IPA and Fuller's ESB.

When I need to return to the liquor store, I'll run the Stone IPA by them. I'm certain I've seen Fuller's ESB. I'll give them both a go.

Harpoon is Bud with a Cantabrigian superiority complex. Calling that stuff IPA is like giving Coke a vintage year.
Mow your lawn!

How the hell did we get off the subject of Galloway? I guess it's pretty easy when there's more important subject matter like beer to discuss.
Anyhow, I heard Galloway likes to torcher kittens for fun.
