Opinion on great beers - Page 2

yourchoice · 09-29-2009, 05:11 PM

I love beer!

What I believe to be readily available (at least they are to me

). Generally in the order of my preference, but I reach for all of these.

IPAs (my favorite when the weather is warm)

Stone IPA (great balance)
Dogfish Head 60 and 90 minute (90 is better IMO, albeit more expensive)
Victory HopDevil (hoppy!)
Smutteynose IPA

Porters

Stone Smoked Porter (nice and smokey )
Troegs Dead Reckoning Porter

Ales

Flying Dog Double Dog Pale Ale (sneaky strong)
Unibroue Maudite (my favorite from Unibroue, especially for the price)
Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale (pumkin taste is different = not for everyone)

Stouts (I need to expand my Stout horizons)

Left Hand Milk Stout
Samuel Adams Cream Stout

Oktoberfest (I like to stay in Germany for Oktoberfests YMMV)

Warsteiner Oktoberfest (awesome)
Hacker Pschorr Oktoberfest

Great...now I'm thirsty!

Dive into the world of Belgians and start at the top with St Bernardus Abt 12, Rochefort 10 and Chimay!

Free beer is always great beer.

I enjoy dark beers. Ice cold Guiness fresh from the tap is one of my favorites.

Thanks for the input fellas, I will be trying a few of these soon hopefully

I've had the XXX stout and the abbey ale, both were really quite amazing

Start trying Barleywines as well. In terms of flavor, strength, and complexity, these are hard to beat. Some notables: Sierra Nevada Bigfoot (seasonal), Green Flash Barleywine, Dogfish Head Old School, Lagunitas Gnarleywine, and North Coast Old Stock Ale.
