Mac and Jacks African Amber is a local best seller. Their black jack porter(hard to find)is delicious as well.
The Redhook brewery is located about 12 miles from my house, 10 miles can be ridden via bike trail. They have many good brews there: cask conditioned ales, Porter and ESB on a nitrous tap. They recently released a porter blended with Starbucks coffee...Needless to say this is one of our favorite places to end our rides.

Edit: When I was up there, I found the Black Jack porter in Tacoma. I think it was at Hells Kitchen, but it may have been another one of the other bars we stumbled into. That stuff is really good.

Belgians are great but expensive. I've had the holy grail (Westvleteren 12, look it up), and enjoy a variety of St. Bernardus brews from time to time but supporting (relatively) local breweries is much more rewarding and lighter on the wallet.
Smuttynose probably does not make a single bad beer - they are my go to brewery when I am not feeling particularly inspired. Sixpoint, from Brooklyn, is amazing beer and if a bar has it I will more than likely get a pint. For stouts I enjoy most British beers that you can get in a can (much better head in a nitro can than a glass bottle, I wish more beers came in cans but it isn't "artisanal" enough these days).

Last time I had Golden Monkey I ended up wandering through a random empty apartment in Manhattan, And I didn't learn about it until I reviewed the photos on my camera the next day! Ha!

2nd for Harpoon I.P.A. now available at Publix in Brunswick, GA!!! Only had to ask twice. They are very involved in cycling and had the argile thing going long before Slipstream.

IPAs are my favorite, but I like most ales and all pale ales. Namely Harpoon, Sierra nevada torpedo and pale, sweetwater 420, troegs. I like small breweries' beer much better than macro-beer

Colorado is microbrew heaven with over 100 microbreweries (SP?). When I move to my retirement home it will probably be in the Fort Collins/Loveland area. Lots of microbrew nearby. I've got lots of favorites. Mostly stouts and porters, but anything powerful if good. No wimpy pilsners for me.
