It's kind of a moot point for me. I don't drink a lot anyways. I like my good tasting beers though.

I enjoy a good beer. I thought it would be a good idea to start a beer thread. Give suggestions for good beers.

I am currently drinking:

Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat
Newcastle Brown Ale
Sam Adams Summer Ale
Red Stripe

Karl Strauss Wreck Alley Imperial Stout
Port Brewing Shark Attack!

Wookey Jack from Firestone is probably the best beer I've had in the past couple months.

But I ask: What can you enjoy, exactly? Does Arrogant Bastard make you regret taking a sip? Does a Belgian trippel make you wince? Does IPA make you say "no way?"

I ask because I personally enjoy a strong, strong beer. So does SOE community manager Danicia, who's beer drinking you can find at @_Danicia_ on Twitter.

I am a stickler for heavy stuff:

Wörschteiner
Guiness 250 anniversary stout (please bring that stuff back! My personal stockpile only lasted 2 months after they stopped selling it).
Sam Adams Boston Lager (but I trust Sam Adams in general).

"Wookey Jack" Black Rye IPA from Firestone Brewing is the best beer I've had in the past couple of months.

Some other awesome beers I've had recently:
"Hop Noir" Black IPA from Peak Organic
"Dogzilla" Black IPA from Laughing Dog
"Raven's Eye" Imperial Stout from Eel River Brewing
"Leafer Madness" Imperial Pale Ale from Beer Valley
"Drake's Denogginizer" Imperial Pale Ale from Drake's Brewing
"Double Daddy" Double IPA from Speakeasy
"The Incredible Hop" Imperial Black IPA from Fort Collins Brewing
"Organic Dread Brown Ale" Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing

And coming June 2012, "Anti-Imperialist Red Ale" from Drunkey Monken Brewing (that's my home brew!)

Hello, I'm Core. I'm 22 years old and I've never drank alcohol.

(now you are supposed to go "HI CORE!" like in the AA meetings you know?)

I joined the army when I was 18, and directly moved to Germany, where you can drink at 18. So 2 and a half years I spent in Germany sampling various beers and marrying one of the various women, I am spoiled.

Last week I went thru about 3 20-racks of beer. We have a Zoigl brewery not far from here, they make some fantastically good beers there.
Crystal, hefe, pils, zoigl, stout, lager, ale.. .whatever, I love them all

Also a Masshole here.. I am a devout US patriot. So much I bought stock in Sam Adams, lol.

But yeah, I will go to the Getranke shop later and get 5 or 10 different beers I haven't tried, and 10 I love, for the makings of a nice, relaxed weekend.

but met (honey wine) is much better than beer.

I never thought I would enjoy a beer that was in a green bottle. I hate Heineken. Abhor it actually. But because I'm of German heritage, my Italian mother-in-law insists that I like this kind of beer.

Crazy Italians. But I digress....

I really enjoy Yuengling. It's pretty much replaced Sam Adams as my home beer, except the Summer Ale. But one beer I will never EVER turn my back on is Hacker-Pschoor Weiss. I usually don't drink with groceries, but a nice slice of lemon in a Weiss after working in the yard for a couple of hours is really refreshing. Or just as my freshly ground hamburger is coming off the grill with a nicely butter toasted bun on the side. Or even a nice juicy thick steak after working in the yard for 3 hours.

I haven't looked in the past years, but I may have to call ahead to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburgh TN and see if any of the distributors down there carry Hacker-Pschoor. We have a few beer connoisseurs in the Dragon Wolves. If I was driving down I'd be bringing a case from NY.
