Favorite beer?

Recommended Posts

I'm currently drinking Sam Adams Seasonal, but my favorite beer is probably Magic Hat #9 (if you haven't drank this beer, go get some NOW). How about you guys? If it's not beer, what other type of alcoholic drink is your favorite?

Number Nine is pretty good, although Arrowhead Apricot is a pretty good contender as well. Dogfish Head Aprihop is even better than Number Nine if you like hoppier beers.

But favorite? Depends on the mood. For celebrations and the like when you want something really good:

Lost Abbey Angel's Share Grand Cru
Port Brewing Older Viscosity
Goose Island Bourbon County Stout
Alesmith Speedway Stout
Ballast Point Victory at Sea vanilla porter

Easy drinking beers when it's hot out:

Hangar 24 Orange Wheat (now available at the Bomb Shelter!)
Dogfish Head Festina de Peche
Sam Adams Noble Pils
Pyramid Hefeweizen (now has some silly name like audacious or something)
Blue Point toasted lager

Interesting beers:

Isabella Proximus (sourest beer you've ever had)
St. Bernardus Abt 12 quadrupel
Lost Abbey Cable Car (finally found a bottle of this stuff)
Russian River Sanctification
Ballast Point Sour Wench

In general, Firestone Walker, Ballast Point, Dogfish Head, Hangar 24, Port Brewing, and Alesmith are all easy choices - these guys don't make any bad beer.

I don't always drink beer, but when I do its either Shiner Bock or Saw Tooth Ale (Left Hand Brewery).

Typically its Jack Daniels, though.



Damn, a Shiner Bock sounds so good right now. Sometimes it's too carbonated for my tastes, but when it's perfect, it's one of the best beers ever.

@billvon. Where are you, and can I come drink with you? My mouth is watering just reading all that. Goose Island is a microbrew in Chicago, right? I have heard that brewery before, and if it is the Chicago brewery, one of their beers was awesome. Can't remember the name though...

I usually don't drink beer, but when I do, it 's Bud. However, the best beer I've ever had was in Lima, Peru. It was called Cusecana Negra (spelling is wrong), it was AWESOME!!!

Usually I drink Jim Beam and Dr Pepper though.

I tried that drink James Bond blurted out in Casino Royale a few weeks ago, was actually pretty good.

2 measures of Gordons, 1 measure top shelf vodka (I used ketle), 1/2 measure of vermouth (he used kina lillet but no one ever has it). Shaken in ice and served up over lemon.

But usually I drink Guinness or Ketle One.

I had a Sierra Nevada Wet Hop Ale the other day and it was outstanding - seriously fine IIPA.
Dead Guy, Gordon's IPA and Hop Devil are other favourates.

If I could afford $700 a bottle, I would love a bottle of this......

a couple of years ago i went on a 2 year beer sampling kick tried a different beer every week. i like too many to really have a favorite, but:

if i'm at the grocery store i mainly buy something from shiner, saint arnolds, or new belgium.

if i'm at the liquor store where they have a wider variety, i mainly go with a left hand, brooklyn, or avery offering.

i also like Jager, crown, stoli, & casa nobel
