What's Your Favorite Beer/Ale?

[Catrin]

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)
Dos XX

Yes, La Fin du Monde is 10% alcohol. My funniest story about it happened when we went our cycling tour of Quebec. We went with our good friends and drove up there 3 days before the tour started. We arrived around 4 PM, and Janine, who is a champion napper, decided to skip our exploratory walk around Old Quebec, to snooze. So, DH and I, and Brant ended up at an outdoor bistro and ordered La Fin du Monde. We warned Brant.... but, when he went to stand up, he just about fell over, he was so "happy." He decided to swear off of it for the rest of the trip, because he was afraid it would interfere with his cycling. But, he has had more safely at our house.

I'd attend regularly if I knew of a church like that!

It was our cantor who set out to prove me wrong - I learned that it is the mass-produced American beers that I dislike (Bud, Coors, etc). He and his wife introduced me to a couple of good ales at several celebrations we had at church and proved me wrong!

I'm not a big fan of wine, although there is a wineary near here that has fruit flavored wines that I really like. I prefer mixed drinks (specifically ones with rum) to anything else.
For beers my favorite is Molson and about the only other one I'll drink is Sam Adams.

My DH did good! He completely surprised me with my Christmas gifts this morning. He had gone to a local beer shop and purchased several 6 packs of seasonal microbrews for me! He brought them down in a cooler (which I was forbidden from opening). I was VERY surprised but happy! I had also bought myself a 6-pack of Sam Adams blackberry wheat bear, so I have a great selection to sample during our holiday time here at the beach and will have plenty to take home too!
