"nick passmore" news and stories

Forbes' resident wine and spirits guy, Nick Passmore, recently posted a list of 20 of his favorite beers. The list, which it seems can only be viewed via a clunky slideshow, has a decent scattering of English and German imports, as well as some American craft brews. Passmore does a good job of making a roster of beers that aren't terribly hard to find. Still, don't expect to see them at your local gas station. Lists like these are bound to leave something out and upset someone. So, while I wasn't surprised to see an ale by Chimay, I was a little surprised it wasn't the blue label. My qualms aside, this is a decent place to take a few notes if you're looking to explore the beer aisle.
