My favorite just came back in season.. Bells Oberon.. their summer ale ( love all Bells as well ). I also love one called Pit Viper from the Oaken Barrel in Greenwood Indiana (last I knew that was the only area you could get it in as well). They also have many other finely crafted brews.

being a more than heavy drinker.. the list is long.. however.. my top two most often drank beers are stella artois and miller high life.. followed by rolling rock..

BEER BEER BEER BEER!!!!! I like a lot of different beers, but I do prefer a lager beer. My personal favorite and a all time Chicago favorite. Is Old Style. Not as popular as it once was but Im sticking with it

Pacific Northwest ales top my list of faves. The hoppier they are, the better I like 'em. A good Hefeweizen is my summer favorite. We have some great beers up here!

Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale
Rogue Juniper Pale Ale
Rogue Imperial IPA
Widmer Hefeweizen
Rogue Chocolate Stout

Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter!

Cannot pick 1; that's why I go to a local favorite: Al's of Hampden, near Harrisburg PA where there are always 30+ drafts and zilllions of other specialty brews avaliable. Al posts the Beer Advocate rating, style, alcohol content;

tonight it was drafts of Dogfish Head Baton Burton and Bell's American Pale Ale. Lovely evening; burp

have never had a belgian beer i didnt like. as a whole, belgian style beers are definately the favourite. been reading "brew like a monk" for the homebrew fanatics - it really gives a good insight into the thought processes behind how some of these beers are created. great reading.

In no particular order
1. Pabst Blue Ribbon
2. Red Stripe
3. Amberbock
4. Yuengling Black and Tan
5. Fosters
6. domestic San Miguel (Philippines)
7. Henry Wienhards Dark (although I can't get it around here)

I'm with you on this. That book is sitting out right now - its a good read! I've got an attempt at an all grain Leffe Blonde clone going right now. My first all grain beer though, so we'll see how it turns out.

Belgians (and Belgian style beer) are definitely my favorites; I enjoy the trappists, lambics, blondes, triples, dubbels etc. Pretty hard to go wrong in my opinion.

Up here in Canada we have Unibroue, which makes some pretty good Belgian inspired stuff, and a local microbrew Paddockwood, which also makes some Belgian style beers.

Lately, one of my favorites has been Affligem Blond - delicious, and available where I am.
