Favorite Beer

Yeah theres a ton of beer threads and that one has been dead for three months. besides as slow as it is around here another thread wont hurt. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/toast.gif.bc0657bf54b9ee653b6438524461341e.gif

 
Grain Belt - Nordeast is a local fav. made in my back yard. The Schell Firebrick is pretty decent to.
Surley is made one city over and has some nice stuff as well.

When I'm in the Netherlands I drink Korenwolf It's a delicious Viet Beer usually served w/ frozen lemon wedge

"It quite refreshing after a day of banging hookers and vaping" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

And my preferred Belgian white I can get stateside is Hoegaarden

Belgian beer FTW //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
The Lost Abbey has an awesome selection of belgian style beers - but some of those bottles are $15-$20 each! dam good though and some awesome bottle artwork. They are brewed in San Marcos, CA

 
stopped by the store tonight on my way home to grab some beer and some beef jerky and friggin realized I didnt have my wallet. had five dollars in my pocket and didnt feel like making two trips so grabbed a six pack of sixteen oz bud ice for four bucks. man some beef jerky would be good right now.

 
Stout - pre 2011 jester king black metal, founders kentucky breakfast stout

Porter - 2012 (512) whiskey barrel double pecan porter , yahzoo sue

Barley Wine - Founders Sucaba

Trippel - Watou Trippel , Floreffe Trippel

Lambic - Cherish kreik

Bock - kulmbacher eisbock

Sam adams utopia is incredible.

If I had to choose one off that list right now it would be the black metal, but that could change daily.

 
There are too many good local breweries to be drinking that mass produced garbage like Budweiser/Miller/Coors etc.
I try to drink only local/Michigan beers.
Hell yes, good man here. Michigan is one of the best states for microbrews (I feel like the only one that can compete with it is Colorado). I've got three microbreweries within a mile of my house. One of them has a 10% Imperial Stout that is pretty much the ****. That and they do small batches of cask beers, I know in the past they've done things like chocolate marshmallow porter and holy crap was that stuff good.

If I have to buy at the store I always look for smaller companies, anything by Atwater or Left Hand Brewery are usually good. I've made it a point to not buy anything made by Anheuser-Busch InBev because they're purposely buying up other breweries so they can have a monopoly over the beer industry and that's BS. You'd be surprised how many popular brands are owned by them now (Hell I just learned they own Goose Island now, which is sad). Anheuser-Busch InBev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 
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.
there are 8 monasteries approved to use the "authentic Trappist product" label, 6 belgian, 1 dutch, 1 austrian

Michigan has some great breweries, but there really is no state in the country that compete with the number and quality of breweries in CA:

russian river

lost abbey

firestone

sierra nevada

greenflash

stone

alesmith

north coast

anchor steam

the bruery

lagunitas

and on...

Good catch, not sure what i was thinking at the time. I have not had the Gregorius but have had the others.
