Right this moment in no particular order:

DFH 90 Minute
Deschutes Abyss (year doesn't matter, I honestly haven't noticed any difference)
Alaskan Smoked Porter (only smoked beer that doesn't taste like diesel fuel to me)
Sierra Nevada Pale
Pliny the Elder
Chimay Blue (belgians are a once in a while thing for me, this is the only one I can come back to consistently)
Stone Sublimely Self Righteous
Pliny the Younger (if this is purely hypothetical I have Vinnie from Russian River brewing this full-time in order to keep me supplied with fresh kegs)

Have to give this some serious thought. My initial lst is WAY too long.

Hopslam.

My always happy, always satisfied anytime list looks something like this:

Sudwerk DFU (unfiltered Marzen)
Sudwerk Pilsner
Deshutes Black Butte Porter
Serra Nevada Celebration
Sudwerk Hefeweizen
Stone Levitation

and an honorable mention to Ommegang Abbey Ale

There are other beers that might be higher on my favorites/best of all time list, but quite frankly, I wouldn't want to drink them that often.

I'm not a big beer drinker so I'll list some noob choices.

That is to say, I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I'm a hophead:

Burning River Pale Ale
Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
Columbus Brewing Co IPA

I could be happy with those three.

dwoodward · 02-17-2012, 02:08 PM

Honestly, I like ALL beers, from Bud Light all the way up to the Imperial Stouts and Quadruple Ales. A list for me would be impossible, however, I could probably fill it nicely with some simple Amber Ales, something that isn't too robust but not too light at the same time. There is something about Amber Ales, they are refreshing, and easy to drink.

Anyone agree?

Westmalle Tripel

I approve of this list.....Solid with good brews, but still enough everyday type stuff to keep you from burning out.
