+100

Also, Dunedin red
Almost any Abita product, but specifically turbodog and amber.

Here here on that one!

Sorry, I'm biased.

I'll toss in:

New Glarus Enigma
Capital Brewery Amber (possibly the most drinkable beer in all of existence, but... as I said, I'm biased)

Rogue, Unibroue, homebrew.

This thread is destined for Foo greatness.

How hasn't Founder's been mentioned yet, Best beer coming out of Michigan by far. Don't try to tell me that Bell's is better cause it isn't (it is fantastic though).

The best from Founders are

Kentucky Breakfast Stout
Dirty ******* (yes the name of a beer got edited, it should say dirty b@stard)
The harvest ale was fantastic this year
The Oatmeal Stout is second to none (only available on tap, so come to Grand Rapids)
Also the All Night Long DIPA is the best double IPA I've ever had, and I've tried quite a few (also only on tap)

The Octoberfest is the seasonal that's out now. I can check for you later today.

Nothing else matters

As I'm close to the source I love many of Abita's offerings... the Fall Fest has been good, I like the amber... personaly I like their wheat although I know it's not to everyone's liking. We get a lot of their limited-offerings, most of which are great although Pecan Harvest wasn't so hot.

Like many beers, Abita seems to be best when handled well, when I've had it further from the source it's been somewhat blah in comparison to having it fresh.

hmmm

rogue dead guy ( i know it gets around but i cannot live without it)
CBP pale ale ('bout as local as possible i guess)
full sale pale or amber

also, i gotta say one of my favortie all around beers is the new belgium trippel. Tastey a ****, more than fat tire, and its got a nice 8 or so % to warm the soul

newcastle = best beer ever.

not a microbrew though.

That's crazy.

yes.

1. alaskan amber ale
2. widmer hefeweizen
3. new castle brown ale (not micro)
4. any good wheat ale
5. assorted IPA's when i'm in teh mood.

+1. I was introduced to their strawberry harvest earlier this year. It's remarkably tasty for what I'd consider a novelty beer. I keep meaning to visit their brewpub, as the Tammany Trace runs practically through their parking lot.

I had a Samichlaus last night. It's stronger than I was prepared for, but has a great flavor.
Delirium Nocturnum is another tasty beer.

anybody in oc want to go to brewbaker's and brew something?

Recall Benjamin Franklin's statement of note: "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
Happiest are we when the brew is microbrew.
Summit Pale Ale brewed by Summit Brewery, St. Paul, MN is exemplary

SAM ADAMS. Any variety...'nuff said. :D

Free State Brewery, Lawrence KS

Oatmeal Stout
John Brown Ale

(Or for a seasonal treat, when they have the Crimsonberry Ale in stock, ask for a "blackberry" which is a mixture of the Crimsonberry and the Stout!!!)

veggimafia raises a good point about the weather...

Dark beers I enjoy:

1. Deschute's Black Butte Porter
2. Avery Out of Bounds Stout
3. Left Hand Milk Stout

And the classic, though not microbrewed, Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout

Not a microbrew. At all.

That being said they make some good beers, but very few of them are notable.

Anything that St Arnolds in Houston makes....

:)

Guinness? What the hell is wrong with you.
Favorite locally brewed local: Harpoon
My favorite microbrew: McNeil's based in Brattleboro, VT.
I went to a place in Portsmouth, NH that was a microbrewery/bar and it was pretty good. The taste was definitely unique, but good.

+pint to that
