A Battle of the Clickers

Want to prove to everyone that Albuquerque is America's best beer city? http://www.examiner.com/beer-in-national/nominate-your-city-for-beercity-usa-2012-ballot-poll-open?CID=examiner_alerts_articleBecause the only way to prove that is by having people vote on it. Over and over again. If there are enough votes, it must be so. I'm not begrudging anyone their right to show support and pride in their city's beer scene, but a popularity contest doesn't do it for me. The way Albuquerque is going about it is fine with me: great breweries producing consistently great beer, new breweries pushing the current ones to stay sharp, and a whole city opening up their senses to the craft beer movement. Let others stay home and click on their cities- or if you must, take your computer to your local brewpub while you do your voting.
