What's your favorite beer?

For daily drinking and handing out to friends who like to suck my beer stores dry, Miller Lite. Hold the flames, gentleman, my tastes to travel upward from here Smile

After that, Boddingtons is my favorite of all time beer. Exactly what I want when I go looking for a beer.

Micro-brews, I can take or leave them, depending on what they're offering. Someone mentioned Brooklyn Brewery's Black Chocolate Stout, that's good stuff. Love it.

The IPAs and Over the Top with Hops variations that are going around are slowly beginning to irritate me, though a few are tasty. But seriously, enough is enough, fellas. When a bar offers 15 micro-brews and 12 of them are of the hops-on-steroids variety it doesn't matter much who brewed them or in what manner, they all end up tasting the same. Two of these that I enjoy are Two-Hearted Ale and Dogfish Head 90 minute, but that's about where I've draw the line.

Not sure if Chimay is considered a true beer, but I love the stuff.

At KnoxCigar's bar they have Boddington's on tap, next time I'm in there I'll have to give it a try.

I've taken a shine lately to Blue Moon as a real tasty, widely-available, Belgium style wheat beer.

But there are soooo many great beers of every genre... how can you pin down a favorite?

I like Blue Moon quite a bit, because it is fairly tasty and widely available.

If you guys like Blue Moon, you should try Hacker-Pschorr Hefe Weiss. Probably not as widely available, but if you see it, definitely worth a taste Smile

Miller Lite?! Is that even beer???

One to add that I've recently come to be obsessed with is Oberon. Can't tell you who brews it, just that's it's sublime.

Arkansas isn't noted for its microbreweries, (half the state is dry!) but Diamond Bear out of Little Rock has a Pale Ale and an IPA that are about as good as I've ever had. Not distributed very widely, though, in fact you can't get it much outside of the metropolitan area.

Anyone live in the Seattle area? They have a brew-fest each year at The Farm; a set amount to get in, they give you a nice glass, and you can fill it as many times as your hand/legs/liver/brain will allow. Last time I want they had over 50 microbreweries represented from Oregon up to Alaska, each with a couple of their best brews on tap. Mighty fine way to spend an afternoon.

Depending on whim, it's either Abita Amber or Heineken.
There's plenty of both in the second fridge.

I like to try new beers if I'm out (which I rarely am).

Hi all,
I'm not a big beer drinker, but my tastes lean towards the darker brews.

What is your favorite mass-distributed beer?
Guiness Draught

What is your favorite beer?
Berghoff Bock, probably not available nationwide. I believe the brewery is in Chicago somewhere. I only found it in one liquor store here in Indianapolis - Indiana called, Kahn's Liquors...

What is your favorite style of beer?
Dark beers, though I happen to like Corona, but death to the bartender who shoves a lime in it...

Hey, Natch!!! Got hooked on the Diamond Bear IPA and Pale Ale during our vacations in Hot Springs! Just finished my last few bottles (might be one left in the back of the beer fridge!). Both damn good brews!! FTRPLT

Sam Adams Octoberfest is my favorite. Too bad it's just a sesonal.
