That depends a lot on your taste. Light, lager, pilsner, amber, dark, bock, dopplebock, stout... the list goes on and on.

I'm a big fan of German beers. The Paulaner Octoberfest is one of my favorite beers. It's an amber, malty sweet but not overpowering, with a crisp finish of hops. The Spaten Optimator is a nice 7.6% dark, very heavy & malty... the kind of beer that you sip on for a good while. For wheat beers, Franziskaner makes a nice one. Celebrator is a nice hearty dopplebock sold in 4 packs that is great if you can find it.

The Belgian monks make Chimay, which comes in three varietys -- and all of them are very tasty. The cream colored label is the lightest, with the red being the middle and blue label being the darkest if memory serves.

I agree - personal taste counts for much. My personal taste is for Cooper's Dark Ale. It's very nice if you like dark beers. I'm probably showing my roots to those in the know, but I also like a Toohey's Old. I guess I'm just a parochial beer guy...

On the other hand, I'm also partial to a Stella Artois every now and then, when I'm feeling Cosmopolitan Yuppie (Stella's a bit "high class", at least in Briz-Vegas).

Huh??? List 'good' beers? ... is there really such a thing as a 'bad' beer?

I generally drink Coors Light around the house. If I'm in a Mexican restaurant I usually go for Tacate or Pacifico, Japanese the large Sapporo, Chinese... Tsingtao. At my favorite barbecue place a draft of Amber Bock goes well with the hot sausage and jalapeño sandwich, and at the Irish pub I order Murphy's Red or a Newcastle. At my neighborhood German eatery there's too many to list... but a draft of Spaten Lager, Hefeweisshier, or Dunkle are always good choices. And of course an oil can of Fosters is always welcome. Or a Tuborg, or a Rolling Rock, or.... oh hell, there's just too many.

For the hop-head, I recommend Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

STOUT is my favorite. Just about anything from Stone brewery is good, as long as it's not to hoppy.

Home brewed stout is getting better but not there yet

anything from the Omegang brewery in Cooperstown NY (they are part of the Duval brewing family) is great.... i buy it by the cases and keep some in the wine cellar as it will age well for 2-3 years.

favorites of theirs are Hennepin and three philosophers

Boy, thats about the fourth time I've seen SIRS recomended in the last month! - I've never tried it, but it must be good.

For my taste, I like the (semi)-local Moose drool (brewed in Missoula, MT) -

good stuff!
