January 9, 200818 yr I don't mind imports or domestics, but love a good beer from a small American brewing company...
January 9, 200818 yr I also really enjoy Fat Tire out of Denver. Problem is they don't ship it east of the Mississippi, and I have to wait until I can get someone to bring me some home from St Louis... :irked: I love Fat Tire. Usually run into it a few times on my ski trips in the west. Moose Drool and Avalanche are also good beers that are popular in the west.
January 9, 200818 yr For anyone who enjoys microbrewed beers (the best beers come from microbreweries btw), the Smokey Mountain Brewery in Gatlinburg (of all places) makes some excellent brews.
January 9, 200818 yr Domestic- Bud light, Rolling Rock, and Wiedemann I've found is pretty good as well and not to mention it was brewed in Newport. Import- Corona

January 9, 200818 yr Author I don't mind imports or domestics, but love a good beer from a small American brewing company... It's the same as Import but on Local Turf...Except the Import has been doing it much Longer...
January 9, 200818 yr When I lived in Florida, I used to drink a beer called Bad Frog. A lot of the beachfront hangouts served it. The label said "Mean, Green and Obscene". It was a local favorite in the area where I lived.
January 9, 200818 yr This past summer my roommate and I decided to start a beer bottle collection the way many college students collect liquor bottles. We had kind of a slow start being kind of nervous with trying new beers and also being limited by the amount of money we had to spend. But right now our collection has 74 bottles in it. We decided not to include any of the run of the mill domestics in our collection, so you won't see any Bud Lights, Coors, etc. We have 16 Sam Adams varieties in the collection, and some Goose Island. We have beers from several smaller micro-breweries in the US, and imports from Ireland, Jamacia, France, Holland, Belgium, England, Mexico, Canada, and the Czech Republic. Anyways trying all of these new brews has opened my eyes to the variety available. Here are my favorites out of the ones I have tried so far (no particular order): Kentucky Bourbon Barrell Ale Samuel Adams Summer Ale Dogfish Head Pumpkin Ale Bell's Batch 8,000 Ale Franziskaner Weissbier Here is a picture of my collection thus far!
January 9, 200818 yr Samuel Adams Summer Ale That's a good one. When I was in Boston in May, I ordered the Summer Ale in a bar. When the bartender came back and saw my empty bottle, he said "Yo anotha summa for ya bud?" Since that day, I refer to this beer as simply "summa".:thumb:

Very good summer beer.
January 9, 200818 yr I just like beer, but domestic I second GT's vote for Fat Tire, which I drink every year in Wyoming, and I will also drink Sierra Nevada Pale Ale any chance I can get it. It used to be a commodity but now you can buy it at Kroger. I drink Guiness, Bass Ale, Fuller's, and Harp Lager any chance I can get it. Mrs. Hearsay stocks Heineken for guests, and I find that goes best with potato skins. My brother goes to Belgium from time to time on business, and when I join him I basically just go pub hopping. They make beer in the monasteries there. I went to one about ten years ago, and they served ice cold bock which you dipped yourself and drank out of what appeared to be miniature wooden buckets. I started collecting capped beer steins about two years ago. Grandad was on the Board of Directors at the G. Heilman Brewing Company years ago, so I have a lot of 'Old Style' beer paraphernalia laying around. I stole an Old Style from his fridge when I was 10 and it was the first full beer I ever drank. Dad was a Coors man when I was a kid. He claims that when he was stationed in Pensacola, and you couldn't get Coors east of the Mississipi, he and his wingman would hop in the F-8, do patrols, fly over to Kingsville, TX, buy coors, put it in the nosecone of the F-8, and fly back, and the Coors was ice cold when you landed. Don't know whether I believe him, but its a fine yarn.
