Kelso IPA, they refill my Growler at least once a week right at the brewery, my new favorite! Lagunitas Hop Stoopid is a close second. Loose Cannon is now a distant third choice.
 
The Hop Stoopid is pretty darn good, but actually my 3rd favorite of the Lagunitas IPAs. I prefer the Maxiums and their regular IPA over the Hop Stoopid.

Hop Stoopid is a little much on the IBUs for me, but I love their regular IPA, as well as their Imperial Stout.
I had a Bavarian Style Doppleweissen yesterday that was really good.

Also, last week while in NC I had a few local brews on tap at Taco Mac.
Highlands Chocolate Porter was good.
DuckRabbit Stout wasnt bad.
I dont recall the bewer of the last one, but it was an 11% Barrel Aged Stout (not from NC) and was SO good!
 
just got back from 6 months in europe- where i quickly found this to be my favorite:

Can't find caracole in texas, but one shop in the area sells karmeliet...now if only i could find real bread, cheese, etc. etc.
 
Been on a Smuttynose odyssey lately, including their Robust Porter which was my nightly drink last week. It's big and flavorful yet still easy to drink. Love it. Had a S'muttonator" which is a big doppelbock that I've been looking for a long time. I found it to be different from most doppels I've tried, but in a good way. Also had their "Homunculus" Belgian golden ale which was also very good.

Last night I did a bomber of Rogue Dead Guy, a springtime fave of mine. I have a Westmalle Triple that I'm hankering for along with plenty of others in the wings. Later......
 
Warsteiner Dunkel, which has become a "stand by" for me. I don't know beer like I know wine and scotch, so when I find something I like, I don't want to experiment on the unknown.
