I rarely drink but once I got used to the local beer, it's hard to drink anything else.

    I prefer the national brand antifreeze. You should try it. It's good stuff.

    Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale
    Spaten Lauger Oktoberfest from the keg. [They make it once a year for ten days]

    There's a local place here called Thunder Canyon Brewery, that does a pretty good job.

    I'm origionally from the Northwest, and there's too many that are really good to list. One of my cigar buds is the brewmaster at Snoqualmie Falls Brewery (near Seattle). He used to work for Pyramid, and was the guy that came up with Pyramind hefeveisen, which happens to be one of my favorites.
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

    I like TCB as well. Nimbus is good also, but they seem to do funkier stuff, plus they are in an industrial park on the SE side, so it's a pain to go to and seems shady, but not like the mob, just...you know...

    I had a great little brewery in my hometown of Douglasville for a few years. Peckerhead Brewery. They got an offer to setup shop in theHilton at Hilton Head, so no mor elocal brew. Sweetwater is good, but it's becoming big, not like Sam Adams, but just too big anymore.

    The local brewery around here is Rogue in Newport. Dead Guy Ale is probably the most well-known, but not the best by far. The Mocha Porter and Shakespeare Stout are to die for.

    My favorite local Brewery is MAc & Jack's african Amber. Unfortunately they don't bottle any beer so you can only get it in growlers or kegs. Other wise gotta go the local bar.

    My Fav Rogue beer is the Imperial Stout. Great stuff Rogue puts out!

    My overall fav beer right now is probably Dogfish 90 min IPA. They make a 120 IPA that is 20% and probably the best beer I've ever had. Unfortunately they don't brew it very often and one 12 oz bottle costs $8.99.

    I'm pretty lucky that I live 10 minutes from a store that has the best and biggest beer selection I've ever seen. There isn't anything I couldn't probably get from this store.

    I'm a big fan of our local in Kansas City - Boulevard. Irish Ale, Nutcracker Ale are my favorite seasonals, while Wheat is great for summer, and Pale Ale an all around anytime beer. I'm a huge fan of their Stout as well.

    Oh, yeah. I like Blue Point Pale Ale.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
