Red Hook is always a safe bet…

I can’t drink beer, but back in the day I was a big fan of Magic Hat. All of my friends go crazy every year when Sam Adams releases the springtime White Ale and they all rave over Red Stripe. I also used to be a fan of Pete’s Wicked Strawberry Blonde.

@blastfamy Hey, I actually like Fosters, haha. One of my buddies describes it like this: “Remember the first time you ever tasted beer? Yeah, it tastes like that.”

I’ve been wondering about Rogue. Great packaging.

jrpowell's avatar

Fat Tire and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale are my favorites.

I’m poor so I usually drink Pabst and Old English 800.

Old Speckled Hen, Newcastle Brown Ale (in Newcastle, of course), XXXX. I’d love to try John Smith’s Bitter.

I used to like Grolsh, but only because of the bottle!

Guinness or any of the nice black beers brewed on the west coast of the South Island, NZ.
We have lots of great beers and micro breweries here in Western Australia.
For price and flavor I like Tooheys Old from the Eastern States.

New Castle is probably my favorite, but I also enjoy Guinness and Boddington’s in moderation. If I’m out to drink more than a few I’ll probably just pick up a Miller Light.

cwilbur's avatar

Local beers. Find a good brewpub, and try their offerings.

mirza's avatar

Harpoon IPA
Northampton Brewery Micro-brew

essieness's avatar

@cwilbur I wish there were microbreweries in my town, but alas…

sandystrachan's avatar

brew-dog is 3minute walking distance from my front door .

Mamradpivo's avatar

Anything by Avery, but especially the Reverend. Tricerahops by Ninkasi. Downtown Brown from Lost Coast is great.

I tend to stick to local browns or reds wherever I am. I live in Oregon, so I drink a lot of pale ales. But I still prefer a brown or an amber ale.

madcapper's avatar

@Mamradpivo Downtown Brown thats the one I was looking for! (See my above post) GA

mij's avatar

Pigs Ass Porter… I like the sound of that, it’s already got me squealing with delight!

pekenoe's avatar
