My favorite beer? Whatcha got?

Since moving to Colorado I've stuck with the local brews. With over 100 licensed breweries in the state, there are a lot of really good ones to choose from. My favorite is Dry Dock Brewing Company's Breakwater Pale Ale. They don't package yet so I have to go to the brewery to get it.

For bottled beer at home, I stick with the local breweries. Breckenridge Avalanche Ale, Great Divide's Denver Pale Ale, New Belgium's 2 Below or Mighty Arrow, Boulder Pass Time Pale Ale and Buffalo Gold.

The only beer that I've ever had that I couldn't drink the whole bottle is Cave Creek Chili Beer.

Same here E.

Harpoon and Sam Adams are my two favorites by far, however, for brewhouses, I really like Boston Beer Works.

I am starting to like Blue Hill Brewery's IPA.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Oh my! Where to even begin. :wink: :D :D :D

Guinness is probably #1 on my list, but only as a perfectly pulled pint from a pub...or better yet the lovely Emerald Isle :wink: not crazy 'bout it out of the bottle or can.

Shiner Bock would probably be #2 (along with it's many varieties).

I have many others as well, and am always up for trying something new. :D

This is what I am having at the moment, and yes, with the oatmeal raisin cookies. Can you say *dunk*? :wink: :D

Last night I bought a sixer of Dorada Draft imported from Guatamala. It was pretty good.

Has anyone tried a Costa Rican beer called Imperial?
The local grocery has it and it next on my list.

Green Flash West Coast IPA is the best IPA I have ever had and I have had alot.Brought back a full suitcase of it from my last trip to Colorado and not one bottle broke.(thank you Delta)
Dry Dock Brewing Double IPA is a distant 2nd.

Falling Rock Tap House in Denver is the best Beer bar 100 taps and their slogan is "NO CRAP ON TAP"
Rattle "N" Hum in New York is a close Second.

The Brew House in Raleigh right off campus has a really good selection of beers, well worth a stop for "sampling"

Latest fav here is the winter seasonal brew from Blue Moon.
It's called Full Moon and it is a semi-sweet Belgian brown ale.

Life is short. Drink seasonal beer now.
