What is your favorite beer?

Dixie Blackened Voodoo for Microbrew (though I have no idea if they are even making it post-Katrina).

QFT. It's the best dark beer in America, and I don't know if they've resumed production either. I don't like Guinness though, it's gone from "interesting" to "just another crap dark beer" for some reason - it might be just my local distributors though.

For stuff I can find all the time I often settle for Michelob, because it's got a pleasant, not-to-heavy fizz for an American domestic. I'm also fond of one the other Louisiana breweries - Abita. Abita's got their Amber and Wheat beers that are pretty smooth, and their more exotic specialty beverages are ok on occasion even though in general I avoid those sorts of things. I can't stand anything from Pete's Brewing Company, for instance - it's like awful soda pop with a bad beer poured in.

Just last week a co-worker who used to live in PA was telling me the same thing. Absolute hell for a beer geek! He said that his buddies would have beer tasting parties all the time since you have to buy beer by the case. That really sucks.

You know, those laws were originally started back in the temperance league days (or sometimes even earlier). Now the liquor industry lobbies to keep those strange laws on the books. Here in Indiana, you can't by alcohol from grocery stores or liquor stores on Sunday. But you sure as heck can drive yourself down to a bar and get hammered... AND THEN DRIVE HOME! Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

And I thought Utah had weird liquor laws.
