Whats your fav BEER?

OK so I love a GOOD beer and at this time of year my fav is Sam Adams Octoberfest. But being a Boston guy it should not come as a shock i love Sam Adams.But i would love to know what you other drunks..i mean weekend drinkers like/love

I'm at the moment having a buzz on plain ole Bud light.

Summertime - Summer Shandy, Shocktop, Sam Adams Summer Ale, Blue Moon
Fall - Fat tire, practically any red beer,
Winter - Guiness, Dragon's Milk

I like pretty much anything but IPA's

The cheap shit or when I use to play softball or at a party where a lot will be drank - Busch

There is to many beers that I like for me to name. But if I had to name a few I would say:

Dogfish World Wide Stout (18% IBV)
Dogfish Punkin
Dogfish Red and White
Sam Summer
Sam Octoberfest
Sam Imperial Stout
Bud Light Lime

I could go on and on with beers I like.

I am also not an IPA fan. I cant stand any beer that has a hoppy flavor. I dont like drinking things that taste like flowers.

Favorite beer? I don't have one, because I haven't tried them all yet. I plan to at some point, though. I'm all about variety.

Stella Artios

Really like mixing a Guiness with Newcastle Brown Ale.
Sam Adams Black Ale
Alaskan Barley Wine Ale
Mich Golden light ONLY when playing softball
Strongbox hard cider
Killian's Irish Red

Troeges Pale Ale. Its a microbrewery, but they make some awesome beers. Big names though Id have to go with guinness.

I've given up beer in favor of whiskey, but I still love it. I've always liked cheap american beer because I like to drink many at a time. If I'm having just one, perhaps a nice Spaten Oktoberfest or similar double bock. Old Peculiar is damn tasty.

But give me an ice cold Bud Light and I'm very happy. BL Platinum is awesome too, but it gets you hammered in no time. Bud Light lime is a great picnic beer, but after a few I go back to the straight BL.

Just for shits and grins try BL Lime a rita. 8% and goes down like lemonade. Dangerous. Very effective on Mrs. FBD though!

I like IPAs because of their high alcohol content
Troegs Dreamweaver
Sam Cherrywheat
Victory Hop Devil
Victory Golden Monkey
my goto cheap american lite is Miller Lite, non of the silver bullet piss water or "i don't know how to correctly spell "lite" so i drop the "e" and add a "gh" to it" (coors, bud)

yeah, for some reason, I can't handle Coors Light...gives me a headache. I hate that crap. Miller Lite is good swill too. Yuengling Light is good if you can find it.

There are two things that I look forward to every year. One is all you can eat shrimp at red lobster, and the other is Sam Adams Octoberfest. The amazing thing is that they come out at the same time.

I like a lot of the stuff that Schlafly makes - their hoppy IPAs, their Kolsch, etc. It's hard to find in the DC area, though...

Favorite other alcoholic drinks? I like a good Old Fashioned, or Dark & Stormy, or Small Craft Advisory.

Sam Adams Octoberfest is the only thing that makes the end of summer OK

One year one of the bars that I frequent had so much summer ale that they didn't have Octoberfest until January or February. Needless to say my fall was ruined.

I prefer to drink someone else's beer. One that has that "free beer" quality, a strong "free beer" after taste. In a pinch I don't mind drinking one from my own cooler.

I don't always drink beer, but when I do I tell that Mexican to shut up about his Dos Equis and bring me a Shiner...andale' amigo.

I would have to say my favorite is an open one. I like my beer just like I like my violence...DOMESTIC

This is what I drink most often right now, mostly because it's cheap and gets the job done (brewed right in Vavo's hometown):


The beer I like most comes from Unibroue in Quebec but it is harder to get out here:

My go to beer is probably Shiner Bock, usually available on tap round these parts. Shiner released a Wild Hare Ale this summer that was a bit hoppy but good.

I enjoy Saint Arnold's Lawnmower Ale, too.

Rahr & Sons in Ft. Worth makes a couple of beers I like, Buffalo Butt and a Blonde lager.

All Texas beers... I just noticed that.

Figures that Dealing and I like the same beers. Someday I will go to where I can get a guniness on tap that is no more than 3 days old...

As far as IPA's this is my favorite thing to drink right now. I too hate a floral IPA and prefer that they be bitter bitter bitter. I prefer the finish on my beers to "Snap" as opposed to have that floral linger. I try to stick to Michigan beers.

Dogfishhead IPA. I tried to find the 60 minute one, but the store I went to only had the 90 min. Great Beer. Expensive. So I prefer .....
Bells Two Hearted Ale. I used to think that Bells was only good for Oberon (Summer Wheat) but I think Two Hearted is the best thing they make now.
Founders All Day IPA. This is nice and snappy for an IPA. Not as heavy as the Dogfishhead, but ABV is low at 4.6%.
Founders Breakfast Stout is hands down the best thing I have ever drank. I can't wait until september when more is made.

We grew up on Old Fashioneds. Great coctail, when a coctail was more than what you could mix with cola.

Bud ice, yeah get on my level.

Too many to list!

Wini, try the 120 minute IPA if you can, it'll turn your face inside out, pretty sure that beer is straight hops and nothing else!

My favorite would have to be anything my brewer buddy makes! Biased, I know, but he's a damn good brewer. His last was a collaboration with the brewer from Marzonis, a black spiced whit aged in grand marnier soaked bourbon barrels.

The Victory and Troegs may be difficult for you to find because they are Micro Brews that happen to be local or somewhat local so I don't know how far their distribution goes.

Troegs is out of Harrisburg and their Dream Weaver is simply that, a great tasting wheat beer for a hot summer day.

Victory is out of Downingtown which only about 20 minutes from where I live but I have yet to take the tour of their facility which apparently they serve you beer and wings at the end. Hop Devil, again is exactly what it sounds like, a very rich hoppy beer. Maybe it's just me but out of the hoopy beers (I enjoy them all) this one is the best tasting and easiest to enjoy. Golden Monkey only comes out in the late Fall into the Winter time. It's also a very hoppy beer with a pretty high alcohol content at 9.5%
