I've been partial to the Blue Point Toasted Lager of late.

2006 Alaskan Smoked Porter is very nice, if you can find it.
Stone Smoked Porter is a reasonable second place, if you can't.

This surprised the hell out of me, but Taedonggang beer, brewed in Pyongyang, is not half bad.
Even better is the beer on tap at the Yanggakdo Hotel in Pyongyang -- brewed onsite, with a sort of cidery taste.

Wisco wins for beer, I think.
/edit -
Currently drinking:
Commercial Description:
Who is qualified to judge one's contribution? Is it the pure Wisconsin
barley malt or shall credit be given to traditional German and English hops?
Maybe it is the Belgian Monastic yeast or the Brewer's tender care?
Combined, this is a sophisticated Abbey style ale. Both elegant and drinkable
this ale is cleanly aromatic with spicy notes of clove and ginger. Crisp and
fragrant up front while gracefully sliding into warm malt notes at the finish.
Fermented natually in this bottle, the beer in your hand is a living testament
to the value of many working together to create something bigger than the
individual parts. Moving a mountain begins with a single stone.
Recommended.

I got a variety 6-pack with a bottle of this today, still have to drink it though.
I got some Rogue (regular? didn't say anything else) and Rogue Hazelnut something, never tried it before..and some others..I decided to keep a log and save the labels. If any of you have a "World Market" in town they have some pretty rare beers sometimes, so check it out.

states, but this is a good organic beer brewed in basel.

Enjoying one of these right now:
And GeeBuddy, can you believe that I can't actually remember what Stock Ale tastes like? I'll have to remind myself.
