What's Your Favorite Beer/Ale?

[Kerry1976]

I've developed a love of beers also.

I've tried a variety, but find the beer I return to because I love it the most is Sierra Nevada Kellerweis.

As far as root beer - nothing beats a Sprechers.

Mmm, you gals are making me thirsty for a good beer, and all I have in the fridge is Corona and Miller Lite!

I like Blue Moon w/an orange slice, Hefeweisen, and most beers/ales that have a fruit flavor. The raspberry beer papaver posted looks delicious! Recently had a microbrew pumpkin ale (don't remember the brand) at a bar that was delicious. Last year we bought some blueberry ale around Christmas that was very enjoyable. It was downright purple, and whenever I had it, I felt like I was getting plenty of anti-oxidants! Think I'll try to find something interesting to drink once we get down to the beach (for Christmas w/my family) again this year - leaving tomorrow!

Emily, you would probably like Shiner Cheer although I am unsure how far out of Texas they sell it. My husband and I can both taste the peaches in it. We don't like fruity beers but a lot of people we know love that one. I like how with beer and wine you can agree to disagree on tastes. My husband and I will notice completely different things in a beer, I will taste coffee and he will say chocolate. I will notice cinnamon, he will notice a fruit. Kind of fun.

La Fin Du Monde.
It's made in Quebec and is, ah, quite powerful. It is hard to find in the US, but most liquor stores will order it for you, if they don't have it.
I also like Blue Moon and most Heffeweizen beers.
Mexican beer, too.

Mmmm, peaches! I'm sure I'd love it, but I've never seen that brand here in NC. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can find when I hit the grocery tomorrow. I'll definitely get something different/interesting/holiday-ish.

El Fin du Munde is STRONG stuff! That is like 10% alcohol!!!

The hubby and I have been brewing our own beer. We just did a pumpkin ale that was amazing and a chocolate cherry stout.

As for other beers, I just had an Ommegang Adoration and Captain Lawrence Nor'Easter. Yummy!

You're forgetting our Cascadian Dark Ale and Belgian Double.

And the visit to the LHS yielded the makings of a vanilla bean belgian dark strong ale.

I drink much more wine than beer. But there's times when only a beer will do like on a hot summer evening.

I tend to like lagers and pilsners more than ales. Likes are as follows:

Blue Moon and Pale Moon
Bells Oberon (rocks)
Heinken

In the Ann Arbor area we have several local brews, but I'm not good at remembering beer names, most are pretty good and there was an all organic local brewery that made excellent beer and served their beers out of the correct style glass for a particular beer (this got lots of extra points from me) but sadly they are no longer in business.

On a visit to Canada's Muskoka lakes region I visited a cottage brewery and loved their beers, aptly named Muskoka Cottage Brewery. In fact I am drinking egg nog out of a Muskoka pilsner glass right now!

A bottle or two of Bud Light and Michelob light can usually be found in my fridge.

All time favorite rootbeer is A&W served on draft only, not the stuff in bottles or cans. Nuttin like it.

I was convinced for most of my adult life that I didn't like beer, but a few friends at church set out to prove me wrong. I cannot drink wine, I think that I am sensitive to the sulfides, it isn't fun.

I have found that I really enjoy wheat beer, pilsners, sweet stouts, and ales more than lagers. I really enjoy stouts, but not bitter. My current favorites are:

Stockyard Oatmeal Stout
Dunkelweizen
Bell's Best Brown Ale
Bell's White Winter Ale
Molson's
Kennebunkport Blueberry Ale (Wheat)
