I myself like them dark and strong. Guiness stout is great, but I go for a lot of micro brews and pale ales as well.
What about you guys?

being from kansas, it should be obvious. WHEAT!
Seriously, Boulevard Wheat (brewed in KC) is some awesome beer. Probably my favorite. I'm also down for the pale ale at any time.

I am a big fan of:
Magic Hat's No.9
also Sam Smith's Tadcaster Porter
also Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
of course, Anchor Liberty Ale
finally, don't laugh Mr. Rideryyz Minnesota Brewing's Grain Belt and sometimes Stevens Point what is it ... lager?

This is my beer of choice after a hard evening out on the softball field. How can you ever go wrong with Hamm's?

Molson Golden has always been my number one--it has never disappointed me! Almost as fine is Pennsylvania's own Yeungling Lager, from the oldest brewery in the US of A.

Guiness is nice, especially for breakfast.
Since I go to school in PA, I've found this Yuengling beer. Its not a bad lager and its bottled kinda close, so its cheap and fresh.
There are some great micro brews too....but I cant think of anything right now.

Yuengling is like Bud except definitely better; in the sense that it's on tap everywhere in PA and it's actually not bad. So it's kind of the standard and yet not so shitty.
I'm a big fan of Anchor Steam, but that's a regional beer in SF more or less. I'm not a big fan of Guiness...at school, it's totally the poser beer that people say they love when they know nothing about beer (not saying anyone in the 'swarm is like this, but it turned me off from it). Negro Modello is a decent mexican beer you can get at any tacqueria. Most chinese beers taste like fucking natty light, or at least the major brews I've had. That's about all...unfortunately I never get to drink anything good because students drink canoe sex all year. |

Yea, Ive seen only one ad for Yuengling in New York, but when I went to PA, it can be found everywhere. I always thought that was pretty strange.

My favorite is West End Draught which is my local brew. The other local brewer is Coopers which some of you guys may have heard of ( their Pale Ale is world famous) and there is a bar in New York City that sells Aussie Beer. Sorry, I don't know its name. If I am spending money on premium beer, Thomas McCaffreys is the go.
Kahuna , where's the clicky?

Not in any other order than just how they sprang to mind:
Guiness, and Sam Adams (especially the Oktoberfest), Victory Brewing's Golden Monkey, Celebrator (It comes with a little plastic goat souvenir!!!), Duvel, Leffe, and Chili Beer.
That's all i can think of off the top of my head. For lots of good beer info and reviews check out this site |

Sam Adams.
Any IPA is a good bet.
I have a fondness for Honey Brown, but you can only drink one or two before they start to make you sort of sugar-sick.

P.S. I have a pretty good story about how I met Pete of Pete's Wicked Ale.
But it turned out to be LOki.

Carlsberg or Lowenbrau. Rolling Rock and Sam Adams are both pretty good. Coors or Bud if there isn't anything better around.

I'm fond of Longshot Hazelnut Brown, but this time of year I drink Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale (tastes like a pie, but not sweet). Goes great with Hindu-Koosh and oatmeal raisin cookies.
Buffalo Bill is a great brewer, but his business partners have forbidden him from touching his own beer. Unlike wine, where you dump all the shit in toghether and filter at the end, beer must start sterile so only the proper culture ferments the product. (the exceptions are the lambics, but I digress) Bill had the habit of adding ingredients to the batch mid-way through, dumping a box of Mexican Cinnamon or a couple of cases of oranges mid way through the process, which would infect a 10,000 gallon batch and ruin it. Now Bill can host in the restuarant, or give tours, but his partners literally told him to keep his hands off the beer, of else "He would have no hands".
My all time favorite is Dortmunder Union Dark. According to Michael Jackson's Beer Guide (not the singer), Dortmund was one of several small villiages in the 1600's of the Bavarian region of Germany. Each villiage had it's own brewery that was one of the major economic keystones of the community. If the local brewery was foundering, the whole town went under. Beer was a way to avoid cholera and dissentary as the alcohol would kill the microbes. Water was generally unsafe in towns. The story goes that Dortmund made such a superior brew that the surrounding villiages were being put out of business because even the locals would buy their beer from Dortmund. Eventually Dortmund started to export the beer in caravans to the neighboring towns. Seeing this as a threat to the well being of their villiages, the Burgermeisters (sort of an comptroller as mayor) organized "Beer Assasins" to hide out in the forest and Shoot arrows and such into the kegs to prevent them from reaching other villiages. The legend proclaims that those assasins that were caught were brought back to the brewery and browned in the vats of beer.
Any beer worth dying for is a fine brew indeed.

guinness and murphy's for stouts, dogfishhead's ipas, corona and stella artois for something lighter. sam adams is usually a good bet (octoberfest is teh shizzate).
coors original and yuengling aren't too bad for semi-cheapness.
high end? duvel is good when it's nice and cold. franziskaner hefeweizen is totally sweet-ass.
also?
there are some things you remember from college, after all.
all things said, i'll pretty much drink any beer. |

Olde English--hell yeah! Haven't had that in a looong time. For an equally rapid descent into stupidity we would go to old reliable: Mickey's Big Mouth.
Of course it was much more fun when the bottles had pull tabs instead of these pussy caps. I've got a couple of lacerations to remind me of the good old days.
