i cant drive one block without a bum begging me for money. have i mentioned miller lite sux will never buy again. Ive been looking for something similar to bud light but stronger. i dont like bitter or fruity beer but dont like drinking a twelve pack to get drunk either. yeah liquor is quicker but you cant really "drink" liquor.

Pretty much any micro brews not the trash beers brewed by the big names the majority of people will say are their favorite. anything brewed by anheiser etc all tastes like water to me. Good rule of thumb is if its brewed in belgium by monks its probably amazing. My favorite beer i dont think i could name i love too many, but theres a company local to me in eastern PA called weyerbacher that brews a beer called blithering idiot. 12% alcohol of drop you on your *** amazing barleywine. I really enjoy trying as much as i can

not everyone gets into it, it took me a little while to start to develop the taste for it all, but it just became more and more enjoyable over time. Ive had so many beers already i wish i would have started a list. im also working on this "mug club at a local pub thats 60 microbrews to receive like a pewter engraved mug. Pretty nuts though because going for just a few beers is garunteed to get you fucking buzzed as a lot of them are really strong or larger bottles.

American - New Glarus - Stone Soup (brewed and distributed in Wisconsin, USA)there are others I really like but New Glarus as a brewery is solid.

Worldwide - Westvleteren 12 (Trappist Ale brewed by monks for centuries, not "commies")

Trappist Ales are my #1 beer world wide and only brewed in 5 monasteries world wide. Only 28 recipes exist.

I've tried at least 400-500 beers in the past 10 years. I usually get something new each time, and occasionally go back for favorites (of which there are dozens). I started saving bottles about 6 years ago. I plan on lining shelves in a game room with them. IMO - Beer is only as good as the variety available. One thing I've learned over the past decade is that you never know what you're missing until you've tried it - and good or bad, you still get drunk.

I started a little bottle collection as well, Ive only been keeping the bottled conditioned large bottles though, i believe i have around 30 now. and yes Trappist ales are fantastic. Them monks know what they're doing!
