   Skunkiest beer out there. I mean that in a good way!

It is skunky because it was exposed to light and it spoiled it. The oils in the hops turn into the same thing that skunks spray when sat in light too long.Brown bottles prevent that.

I gotta have me some IPA!!! I could be considered a HOP Head..... Sierra Nevada Torpedo is among my fave as is Lagunitas Hop Stoopid. That stuff has an IBU of 102, but I think it has a higher hop kick than others with higher IBUs.
Shiner has some great brews and there is some of one kind or another in my fridge at most times.
I found a newer Sam Adams Whitewater IPA last week that I really like. a Blend of White Ale and IPA. I used to drink Cellis White a lot, but it went away... it is similar to that with an IPA boost.

Stouts are another beer high on my list then Porters. When I used to brew, I made a couple batches of ToadSpit Stout that wee outstanding...

I also like most of what Flash listed in an earlier post.
I am NOT an fan of the big American Domestic breweries.... But will not turn one down if a friend offers it. But you won't find them in my fridge.

My everyday go-to, six-pack after work beer is Old Milwaukee Light.  I really like most of the Sam Adams' seasonal brews for special occasions.  I've also taken a liking to Guinness Black Lager and Warsteiner.

I used to like Beer , any kind... and I agree it is a gift to Mankind...BUT if you go too far ( as I did) you have to quit or go to the Brewery in the Sky.So, now , my favorite Beer is Stewart's , Mug , Frostop and any made with Real Vanilla (I'm talking Root beer)

. But I enjoy it so...You guys pick a favorite for me and enjoy it at YOUR leisure. My gift to you...

i live in mississippi and they just recently passed a law so we could have high gravity craft beers. before july 1 we couldnt have anything over 4.2 i think it was. being a beer fan this meant that we couldnt get any of the beers that ive grown to love while traveling.

my favorite is Fat Tire (still cant get that here for some reason. fortunately memphis is only 3 hours away )

for you IPA fans (which includes me) there is a brewery in LA called Abita. they started selling an IPA called Jockamo that i am in LOVE with. if you love a good IPA then definitely give it a try.

also  if you can find it youve got to try 17 from Red Brick Brewing. i think they are out of atlanta. its  a double brown ale stored in old jim beam barrels. who can argue with that??

I too am a hop head, big IPA fan. Some of my favorites are Schlafly American IPA, Bell's Two Hearted Ale, Dogfish Head 60 Minute, Arcadia Ales Hopmouth, and Big Sky IPA. Also just discovered Revolution Two Fisted Ale, which is a micro craft beer out of Chicago. Anybody in our around Chicago, I highly recommend it.

Other than IPAs I like dry stouts and in the summer I like wheat beers and weizens.

Thanks, but we are all different for sure. I only gave Sierra Nevada Torpedo a 2 3/4 star.  Our fav (wife and I) Lagunita so far is Censored. Have not seen the Stoopid yet, but did try their Lil Sumpin and was disappointed.  Wife and I have tried 25 more beers since my last post and the best we came up with so far was Founding Fathers Lager and it only rated a *** 1/2 +. Got 7 more in waiting though, so will let you know. We are not big fans of the bitter (hoppy?) after taste.  Anyone know of a good Beer App for my Droid?

 

[redneckman]

My sister got me into trying and enjoying the craft beer industry.  My favorite beer of all time currently is Maggie's Irish Red from Soo Brewing Company in Sault Ste Marie, MI.  I also enjoy many other kinds of beers.  Founders has some great beers along with hopcat.  Red Banshee from a colorado brewery is great too!

Since you quoted "Bells", I would recommend you try as hard as you can to find  Bell's Hopslam Ale (American Double / Imperial IPA). It's very expensive but VERY good. Perfect bitterness with amazing finish and after taste. It is easily my go-to special occasion beer if I can find it.

Molson Canadian for everyday drinking (Molson Export if I can get my Canadian friends to bring it across the border)

Gettin' ready to brew up a light Mexican style beer for my daughter this week and then an Irish stout after that. But, yeah, the one in my hand is my favorite.

Based on my avatar pic, I have to go with Miller High Life. I drank Budweiser for years, but have been living the High Life for a year now, and I question why it took me so long to switch!!

As long as the brew is cold, the Q is hot, and the tunes are righteous, so am I!!

[karscot]

Draft Guinness by far my favourite and Newcastle Brown my secondary.

 

[bakedbean1970]

Living in Colorado I have the treat of great beers in every little town. My favorite large brewery beer would be 1554 from new belgium brewing. However I am an all grain brewer so my second fav is whats on tap in the garage. Usually a stout or robust porter this time of year.
