It's no secret I love beer.  Here's a list of some of my favorites, in no particular order.

There are many, many obscure brews I enjoy, but because others might not know them, I focused on 25 more well-known beers.

So what bottle gets your pick?

Hmm - the Sierra Nevada is good, Shiner Bock, Guinness of course - I'll drink Yuengling when I want to be cheap (it's a local beer here so available pretty much anywhere you go).  Stella is alright as well.

You have some breweries I really like but didn't list my favorite beer from them (i.e. I prefer Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale to their Porter).

And it's about time!

Guiness Draught for me, although it's technically not a beer, correct if i'm wrong.

I do love Peterman Artois however, Coors is also very nice

I like to taste new beers/ales/whatever as often as possible, but those on the list I regularly drink and enjoy are: Newcastle Brown Ale, Guiness, Hoegaarden and Chimay.

Then there are Samuel Adams Honey Porter and Boston Ale, Fuller's Discovery and Wells Bombardier, Brakspear's Oxford Gold...

I like it.

Throw in some Czechs as well - Staropramen, Pilsner Urquell

Chimay is probably my favorite beer, but Leffe, Grimbergen, Scaldis, Tripel Carmelite, Floreffe, Mort Subite and De Verboden Vrucht really come close.
 
Guess I'm a sucker for Belgium, uh? Still trying to get my hands on one of these:
 
 
Other favorites include:
 
Carlsberg from Denmark
Sagres from Portugal
Sagres Bohemia from Portugal
Cobra from India
Erdinger from Bavaria
Franziskaner from Bavaria
Guiness from Ireland
Kilkenny from Ireland
Murphy's from Ireland
Alexander Keith's from Canada
Kokanee from Canada

Oh well... I guess I'll cast my vote for that great beer brewed in my home state.
 
 
There are some excellent brews on this list, especially Newcastle, Bass, Stella, and Chimay.

Being Italian, I am more of a wine drinker (and a very moderate one at that, though I love good wine), but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy good beer. The Belgians know what they're about, and my absolute favourite of their creations is the cherry-flavoured kriek (made with REAL cherries). BlissHeart!

I'm not really a beer person, although I think the most highly regarded beer out of the beer I've ever had is Yuengling, and I didn't care for it really....  I would like to try some "better" beers though.

It seems the poll is full of more "refined" options though so I guess I'll be choosing Guinness. Though in the more upscale realm, Smithwick's would be my brew of choice.


Oh trust me, I've been drinking plenty of Natty and the Beast since I lost my job.  These are beers for an ideal world, however.

Out of these, I had to go with Guinness. Absolutely love the stuff. I do have a 6 pack of Hoegaarden in the fridge that I've been enjoying.

Actually, my favorite at the moment is Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat (seasonal summer beer). It's got the most unique flavor that is sooooo smooth.

being in college i usually only drink natty lite or busch lite but thats only because i cant afford classy beers like bud lite Wink

Ive had Guiness once before and it was absolutely disgusting and i dont really understand how its winning the poll! Stern Smile
i just got back from uptown and had a blue moon with orange. delicious! ill vote for that.
however the best beer ive had was from the great lakes brewery (from michigan) that was a pale ale. it was heavy so i wouldnt plan on going out and getting drunk off it but it was really really good with a steak. mmmm.

From this list: Chimay Bleue.Approve

The best beers come from Belgium or nearby. I recommend, among others, Hertog Jan Grand Prestige or Karakter (from the Netherlands) and Weihenstephaner (Germany), but my very favourite is Liefmans Goudenband (Belgium) and Kriek Liefmans as a close second.

The cool thing about Chimay is the fact that Trappist monks in Belgium brew it to support themselves and their good causes.  So remember, when you buy a bottle of Chimay, you're supporting God's work!  Wink

Although I'm a confirmed warm-beer-with-mud-and-sticks-in-it drinker, the one on the list above which I'll often go for is the Hoegarden White/Weiss/Wheat beer - tastes great, even when ice cold.

When telling people what beer I drink , they go " you're drinking what?' - "sss Leffe" . Yeah, it funnier after after they've had a few.
Seriously - Quebec - La Fin du Monde & la Blanche de Chambly, France - Fischer, Denmark - Faxe (the 10% one), New Brunswick - most of my 8-10% homebrews (Dry Lager, Blonde, IPA), and the craft brewery down my street - the Pumphouse Brewery with their Scotch Ale, Cadian, and one I've never tasted - their blueberry ale.
I'll come back once I check my basement and the empties.

Some tasty beers listed there for sure, DBG. Thumbs Up
 
I have had the Pumphouse Blueberry (several six packs, all told), and I find it to be a very nice, refreshing "summer starter" beer. (That is, not one to drink long into the night, but a very nice beer to start with, for one or two, when the sun is out.) Don't let the "blueberry" aspect put you off: the blueberry flavour is very subtle (yet definitely there), all natural, and not at all cloying or sweet (as is the case with some fruit beers). In short, it is not too "girly:"
 
I have shared this beer with my friends, PA's Jim & Vicky Garten, and they really liked it too. We have sought it out and enjoyed it  for two summers now, when vacationing together in Newfoundland. Thumbs Up
 
Just now, I'm sampling an "Ontario Craft Brewers" variety six-pack, and the current one is "Nickel Brook Green Apple Pilsener." This is a light beer, with the usual natural ingredients, plus apple juice, and this fruit beer, while not bad,  is rather too sweet and "girly," for my tastes.
 
I'll try the Elora Irish Ale next -- see if that "mans up" the equation at all....
 
I like many beers from all over -- I'm always looking for something new, and I look for taste, and all-natural ingredients -- but on this list, I'll raise a glass to the very tasty Hoegaarden Weisse. ClapI even have a Hoegaarden glass! (I collect beer glasses.)
 
 
 
Ermm I notice everyone is being polite to the Pist Pabst Blue Ribbon drinker. Far be it from me to be otherwise....Wink

I forgot about Dougalls. It is a selfmade beer an Irish guy is producing here in Cantabria.
He just produces it for 4 or 5 local pubs and bars. Tastes great and improving with time.

Definitely one of my favorites from 'The Rock' (well, technically Nova Scotia?? ), but as you say, definitely a one-or-two in the afternoon beer (I find the blueberry flavour tends to take over after that)

But talking of Nfld - how could I not recommend my favorite tipple from that glorious isle?:



Proof positive that ice cold beer need not be flavour free!

Very Anglo selection you got there; being from LA, as I am, we have a plethora of Mexican beers to chosoe from as well. That said, my favorite beer is probably the Japanese beer Sapparo (sic?); of the beers listed above...hmm...Newcastle, I think. And I'm not usually an ale man, but Newcastle is definitely among my favorite of beers.

Special nods to Red Stripe, which despite my friends opinions, I find easy to drink, and Shriner, which is also (if memory serves) a good beer. Ha.

Heineken, Blue Moon and Corona are my top 3 right now...  it changes all the time though, I'm as open minded towards beer as I am to musicBig smile I usually prefer light stuff (color wise, not "light" beer), though I quite liked the Shiner stuff, but not so much Newcastle.

^ Yes Toaster, stout is very good -- but there are good and "real" beers in all of the beer "genres."
 
I had a very tasty porter on the weekend. If you can find this one (should be easy if you're in Ontario, like me), give it a go:
 
ClapMill St. Coffee Porter -- good for shovelling snow!  
 
Yes, it really has coffee in it, but it doesn't overwhelm the beer.
 
(Mill St. won an award as Canada's best craft brewer in 2007, BTW -- all of their beers are top notch. Their "Tankhouse Ale" is also especially tasty. Nice painted bottles, too. Thumbs Up)
 
Geek Did you know that "porter" got its name from the stevedores or "porters" who worked the London dockside, carrying passengers' heavy loads for hire? These stout labourers favoured strong, flavourful beers, and the burst of hearty energy they imparted. I appreciate porter when shovelling in the -20C snow, I can tell you!
 
 
 
 
I have had other stouts and porters with black cherry, oysters, oatmeal, and chocolate. This one is a delicious example of the latter exotic treat:
 
Young's Double Chocolate Stout 
 
A winter treat from England. There really is chocolate added, but as with the Mill St., the addition doesn't overwhelm, but complements the flavourful roasty-toasty quality of the stout
 
 
Good for Christmas sipping! Thumbs Up
 
Smile Finally, here is another nice beer from "across the pond" -- I bet many of our British friends on PA will know it, and appreciate it. I found it to be very fresh, very smooth, very refreshing -- and organic!  V
 
Oxford Gold 4.0%
English Target hops give this beer a remarkable aroma. Late hopping with Goldings and fermentation by the Brakspear yeast creates a remarkable zesty aroma, a full fruity flavour and a golden colour. All Hops and Barley used in this beer are organically grown and produced.

Youngs Double Chocolate Stout is definitely in my top 10 beers of all time, as is the following:



Dark, rich, full of flavour - just as good on gravity from the cask or bottled (actually works quite well cold too, which a lot of "proper" beers don't) - Highly recommended.

Hey! You Guys! You don't have any South African beers in the list when they are very highly regarded. Good old Lion Lager and Castle Lager.

One of my favourites when I want all the qualities you mention. Discovered it during spring and it's a regular in my "beer batches" Smile

I agree with this. Liefmans is the best kriek. And if you like kriek, I can also recommend gueuze. It is not made with cherries, not even red, but in their other properties these beers have some kinship. Gueuze and kriek are known as lambic or spontaneous fermenting beers.

Tuborg and Carlsberg (sticking to my roots, although Tuborg is harder to find here) preferably, love Keith's Pale Ale too, Rickard's Red goes down like juice, it's also hard to resist, so does Sleeman's Honey Brown, and I do love me a cold nice Blanche De Chambly on a hot summer day too.

Although... I've once had the good luck of enjoying a Pilsner Urquell fresh from the tap in a pub in Prag, and that was probably the best beer I've ever had. Not half as good once exported, I found out later.

I find the exported Pilsner acquires a rather "skunky" taste.

Birch beer? I actually had to look that up... didn't even know that existed. I've had something that I guess is called "spruce beer" in English, and boy that was awful. Does birch beer taste anything like that?

I've never had spruce beer but if it was awful then birch beer wouldn't taste like it. birch beer is a soda that is among my favourites, and I don't even like soda very much.

Birch beer is pretty similar to root beer, but a bit stronger.  I remember once my friend bought some ginger beer since it was cheap and it totally sucked.

Sadly neither beers are what they were - Green King (or Greedy King as they are oft known) have become the pariahs of real ale acting like the Borg of brewers, assimilating dozens of smaller breweries and closing them down. I can never forgive them for what they did to Ruddles County either Cry
