I've been into Sierra Nevada Torpedo lately, if I' feeling rich I'll have a Double Wench from Middle Ages Brewing Co.

I'm a Pilsner guy. Proper Reinheitsgebot stuff mostly. Ur-krostitzer, radeberger, becks, etc. though I do love a good pint of Guinness. Sam Adams is usually a solid choice too. I usually avoid the American microbrew craft beer swill.

Haha I love it!

What more do you need? 20 pounds of bacon and 20 gallons of beer.

 
Good taste man! Love me some Pliny!

My favourite at the moment is PUNK IPA by brewdog which is a Scottish brewed American style IPA. Fucking lovely.

I will also say this, up till recently I've been strongly of the opinion that US beer/lager/pilsner is fucking muck that I wouldn't serve to my worst enemy but recently you guys have really upped your game. I'm addicted to your IPAs in particular. Although they don't really taste anything like IPA.

People not from the US have a hard time coming to grips with the fact that the U.S. is now making the best beer in the world. Why is that....because Brewers over here are innovating both in technique and style, something our beer making friends in the EU have not fully embraced. I don't just mean IPA's and stouts either; traditional styles like sours, pilsners, and bitters are being made just as well now a days, proof of which is found in the World Beer cup results where US Brewers won more European style medals than the EU. With that said, my favorite beer in the world is still brewed in Brussels

Hard liquor 4 life!
There is a brewery in Illinois making a beer called Not Your Father's Root Beer. Incredible how much it tastes like actual root beer for being 5.9% ABV.







Just had this last week. It's just like drinking root beer.

Have you had Working For The Weekend? It's sold pretty local in Chicago and it is great!

I live in Vista California and I swear it's the new beer capital. There's like seven breweries down the street from my work even. When it comes to craft beer, I enjoy Belching Beaver Hops Highway, Chronic ale from Pizza Port, and hard root beer from Mission brewing in San Diego. Anything from Lost Abbey is pretty awesome and it's local too. Stone brewing is out here too and I find their beers a tad overrated but I love their delicious IPA with citrus and lemon drop. Hell, right now I'm drinking Mission Mule and shipwrecked double IPA since I took the journey to Mission brewing earlier today. Good stuff.

Was in San Diego last year and went to Stone & Ballast Point! Ballast was my favorite as I hadn't tried any of their beers before & it was cool how they do their flights. I use to drink stones ruination quite a bit but I've sorta moved on from it.

My current favorite is Boundry.

But I still am and have always been a big fan of Bass Ale and Holsten.

Some craft brewers I like are Great Lakes, and Muskoka.

Weihenstephaner is absolutely amazing. Definitely my favorite beer.

My fridge normally has varying amounts of Sam Adams and Narragansett, with differing degrees of other mostly New England based breweries. Long Trail, Mayflower Smuttynose, and Olde Burnside are also frequent guests iun the basement fridge. Firefly Hollow and Bog Iron if we want to get really obscure. To tell the truth I've been buying 30 packs of Genesee Cream Ale lately because it's cheap and my beer budget has shrunk considerably since having a kid. D'oh.

Bocks and weizens are favorites. I tend to prefer darker beers but can enjoy just about anything.

I enjoy fancy beer, but I usually drink normal beer. I like Bud light platinum because it has a blue bottle. Right now I am drinking Kirkland light beer because it was super cheap and the generic looking cans reminded me of Repo Man. I recently drank Gwar blood which was really nice and I would order it again. I also like Dos Equis, Pilsner Urquell, anchor steam, moosehead, Guinness, and Singha

Dude, there was a place in SD called Wet and Wreckless that had a cheap 10 beer flight. Sucks the place burned down. Ballast point is good, kinda forgot about them, there's just so much to choose from out here. I highly recommend Iron fist if you stop by again.

Bell's Two Hearted is one of my favorite IPAs. I also have a sweet spot for ciders (as non-manly as that may be).

Thanks to an awesome fellow mod, I have a good amount of Michelob Golden and Golden Light in the fridge.

Other than that, I like all kinds of stuff. Usually steer clear of IPA, but I've found some good ones lately. The "Not Your Father's Root Beer" is quite excellent, along with just about anything Crabbies makes.
