Favorite Beer?

Red Dog and Miller (Lite)! I can't choose just one so any of three float my boat. Best of all they are cheap beers, at my local supermarket you can get an eightenn pack of one the three kinds for only $10! Can't beat cheep unless it free. I also enjoy wine coolers.

Palm, Hoegaarden, Wiekse Witte, Leffe Double, Leffe Triple, Duvel...
Most Belgian beers actually, the best one was a local beer still brewed by monks (or so they told me). Dutch beer has it's highs but is mostly only good enough for big parties on tap, don't taste it just drink it.

All the beers listed above are lagers though cause my sensitive taste buds can't stomach ale, yech warm horsepiss the lot of them :p
 

My favorites are mostly beers from Belgium: Chimay (rouge, bleu), Leffe (blonde, brune), Duvel, Kwak. Grimbergen is also quite good.

I really liked Cascade and Boag's beer, brewed in Tasmania; where Cascade is a bit tastier than Boag's.

Surprisingly, the Solomon Islands in the tropical Pacific have their own really good beer. It comes as a lager beer, Sol Brew is like a pilsener, Sol Brew Special is stronger and darker. And even if the beer gets warm (happens quickly in the tropics...), it tastes good. Every evening with a Sol Brew after field work in the jungle was a really good one ;)

Here in Germany, there are some tasty local beers:
Pinkus Pils and Pinkus Alt, brewed here in Münster (a bite stronger than normal, rich taste of spices, I never got a hangover from Pinkus beer).
Pott's Landbier, brewed in Westfalia. Brown, full taste. My favorite, comes in nice bottles which are easy to open.
Stephanus Bräu, brewed in Coesfeld (near Münster). Quite strong, a bit similar to a weizen beer.
Andechser Bock beer, brewed in Bavaria. Strong, dark, very rich taste.
Vulkan Bräu, brewed in the Eifel region. Old brewery, produces a pilsener type beer in volcanic caves.
Franziskaner Hefeweizen, from Bavaria. A tasty weizen beer, comes as a dark, light or crystal clear beer.

My favorite gotta be Newcastle Brown Ale
I'm with you on that one. Draft, not bottled, though.

... and finally Ceres Royal Export for getting some heavy drinking done.
Yuck! I don't understand how anyone can drink those cans of horse p*ss.
If I have to drink a Danish beer, please give me a regular Tuborg!
 

I have a deep fondness for the Mendocino (ex-Hopland) Brewery, makers of Red Tail Ale, Eye of the Hawk, etc. Their version of a black & tan is called a black & blue (Black Hawk Stout mixed with Blue Heron Pale Ale). They also make a find IPA :)

Then there is a tipple I haven't found in years on this side of The Pond -- Theakston's Old Peculiar. Technically I'm not sure what it is classified as, but it fell somewhere in between an stout and a porter in flavour.

And, for the local stuff, there is also the mega-micro-brewery, Anchor Steam.

There's also a great beer from Australia called Boag's, or at least there used to be. Haven't seen it here in years.

Boag's is still up and running and at the moment is the source of a series of controversial ads. Good beer though.

Also go with Guiness and micro-brewery Natural Blonde & Redback. At the cheaper end of the market and widely available VB, Carlton Draught and Crown Larger are quite drinkable.
