IF you like Guinness, you should like it. I find it a little sweeter.

I like Black Lager. It's fairly sweet (as mentioned above), but it has enough complexity to keep you interested. I got a couple of those, a Smithwicks, a few Sierra Nevada offerings, and a few Linenkugel offerings in a pair build-your-owns at Kroger Friday night.

Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA. I'm a big fan of this brewery.

Murphy's Stout....from a can, on Nitrogen.

i really like the taste of english ales, irish stouts etc on nitrogen....they are smooth and the taste is very good.

This is my second favorite stout, second only to Guinness stout. Usually keep a can of Murphy's stashed away for a cold winter night... like tonight.

Went to a Dogfish head restaurant over the weekend and had their crab cake with 60 min IPA with a sample shot of 90 min IPA. Amazing combinations of food and brew. Their crab cakes are the best, it's all I ever order when I go there.

Had a Dogfish Head 90 min IPA over the weekend that was not very much to my liking. I did however have a 2XIPA from Southern Tier that was remarkable. I had it one time a long time ago at a beer dinner, and when I found it again I was very happy.

Just opened the Sam Adams winter variety pack. Other than the Chocolate bock, has been pretty bland.

60 is one of my favorite IPAs. 90 is NOT my favorite double/imperial. Much prefer double jack and green flash for a DIPA. 90 is kinda firm and yeasty for me.

60 min IPA is good but Stone IPA blows it away! Stone is my favorite IPA

[UncleFluffy]

I'm sorry, but Pliny The Elder destroys all other IPAs. (IMO, and all that...)

as far as Stone beers go, there is nothing to compare to Arrogant Bastard...probably my favorite American beer....of course with exception of Rogue Dead Guy Ale...those two brews have it all.

if i was going to die tomorrow and was offered a last wish (other than, of course, not to die) it would probably be a couple of sixers of each and to be left alone to drink 'em

[G.Bisson]

Curious, what do you guys call the best?
Here's my list of favorites by category. At any given moment one of these can be found stocked at my home. Most of these are commonly available and not outrageously priced.

Lager: Yuengling (domestic), Red Stripe (import)
Pilsner: Miller Genuine Draft (domestic), Grolsch (import)
Light: Miller Lite
IPA: Stone IPA
Barley Wine: Molson XXX
Pale Ale: Bass Ale
Stout: Guinness Stout
Porter: never found a porter I've liked
Bock: Michelob Amber Bock
Trappist: Konings Hoeven Quadrupel before they disappeared from the market, turning towards Chimay now.
Hefeweizen: dislike this entire category, but a buddy has me drinking Blue Moon.

[Lonesomedave]

what's best is what i like...

as far as barley wine goes, i would give a lot for a couple of bottles of Thomas Hardy...now that was good beer, but AFAIK is no longer available....please correct me if i am wrong & tell me where to get it.



oh, and PS- while i do not drink much lager, my favorite is Sam Adams...they say in their ads it is fresh, and i believe it...Sam Adams lager on draught is mighty good beer

I think stone is thin and one dimensional. Im sure you think my favorites are too malty and sticky.

And of course pliny is the best you just cant get it.

[spade2you]

Homebrew Russian imperial stout and a brownie. Heaven.

[nickbass79]

Tilburg Dutch Brown. Pretty good.
