What is your favorite beer?

[Chaldfont]

I just brewed a stout last night but my absolute favorite beer is Rogue Mocha Porter. What's your favorite?

Right now I drink a lot of "Beau's Lug Tread" because it is brewed by one of my gamers.

Typically I stay away from beer and drink Irish Whiskey. When I do drink beer, I go for cheap-ish ambers.

I don't know if I have a favorite. Lately I've been drinking Bluepoint Toasted Lager (Long Island microbrewery), Abita (New Orleans) Purple Haze (nice refreshing rasberry flavored beer for summer), Blue Moon w/ a slice of orange, and Hoegaarden w/ a slice of lemon. I really like Stone Brewing Company's (San Diego) Arrogant Bastard, but because of the high alcohol content, well, let's just say I know where they got the name now, so I only have just one of those

Edit: I can't believe I forgot Kona (Hawaii) Longboard!

I drink heavier brews in the fall and winter, like Guinness or IPAs.

I love trying new things all the time. In the fall which is just around the corner, there's pumpkin ale, which is a new favorite of mine.

I'd just say a bunch of things no one outside of Wisconsin would understand...so for my favorite, I'll just say, local.

I prefer ales,

...can't stand wheats (except Oberon).

I like all types of beer ... it all depends on my mood. I like local beer, I like imported beer, I like beer. Budweiser ain't beer, it's watered down sake since its biggest ingredient is rice.

Locally I have the Southampton Publik House and recently I've been really fond of the Double White Ale which I tend to order whenever I'm at a Long Island Ducks Baseball Game. Special occasions calls for a Saison which must be treated with the same solemnity as opening a bottle of champaigne (only without the danger of poking someone in the eye with the exploding cork).

I prefer pilsners. Coors Light, St. Pauli Girl, ...

Also a big fan of Boddington's.

That's an old favorite of mine. I wonder if I'll be able to find any in San Diego...

San Diego's Stone Brewing Company's got quite a few decent beers, though I'm not a fan of the Arrogant Bastard except for it's alcohol content.

Smuttynose makes a good Pumpkin ale: http://www.smuttynose.com/

If you have a favorite pub where you are a regular, ask the owner to check into getting pumpkin ale. I go to a pub here in Queens right in my building where they have 25 taps and they are always willing to try something new.

I really want to get a sweatshirt with the Arrogant Bastard logo. Do they have a store there in San Diego? Didn't see one in their online store.

Oberon is a good wheat beer.

Hopalicious - so do you like IPAs (India pale ales), which are extra hoppy?
