I got some Heineken. Never liked this but now Iit tastes different. It still sucks a lot.

I don't consider myself to be a beer snob, but i do avoid all macro brews and their not so well known owned brands, Hoegaarden (i actually like the taste of this one), Stella, Spaten, and Franziskaner for example on principle. They muscle out the little guys. All of the big three taste the same to me, like dirty water, and i don't like what they have done to some of the brands/breweries that they have bought out all for the sake of money. Craft brewers care about good beer before the money.

Microbreweries and nanobreweries are where it's at. They make flavorful and unique beers. Some of my favorites are; Samuel Adams as a stand by, Sierra Nevada, Anchor Brewing, Great Divide (Hades Belgian-Style Ale is great), Duvel, Piraat, Left Hand Brewing's Sawtooth Ale, Avery Brewing (their White Rascal Belgian While Ale is very tasty), off the top of my head. There are many more that i love. I wish i could try some Dogfish Head but i can't get it here in Nebraska. Colorado has a lot of great craft brewers.

I don't like porters or brown ales. On the fence with IPAs. Had a couple i enjoy and some i can't stand. Generally go for ales, Belgian ales, and lagers.

I recently discovered Hurricane HG, as other high-gravity lagers (Steel Reserve) disgust me, but heard good things about this beer and purchased a 24 oz. can for $1.39. I was pleasantly surprised; it's far less bitter than Steel Reserve. If you're low on money and want to get caustically drunk, try out a few tall boys.

Amber Bock is tasty. But, I rarely drink.

I am a total Hophead. IPA's all summer long, Stouts all winter(Irish Hophead). Stone IPA is probably my favorite but locally Fish Tale Organic is really good and The Inversion IPA by Deschutes is really good. I have to admit I have a soft spot for Rainier Beer too

So I just recently tried dogfish head's 90 minute ipa. I had been putting it off because I am extremely picky about ipas. Occasionally there will be one that I love, but more often than not they just don't satisfy me, many make me think of cleaners...pinesole or lemon pledge. The 90 minute ipa is quite excellent, and I would rank it probably as my second favorite IPA, behind only Heavy Seas, Loose Cannon, which imo is the most balanced and easy to drink ipa there is. The 90 minute ipa is not near as easy to drink, it is a very slow sipper, but the flavors in it are fantastic.

Stouts...that is where it is at, but I don't find myself craving them much in the summer, I tend to lean more towards wheat beers for my summer choices. I think my favorite wheat is Sam Adams Imperial White, fantastic beer and very easy to drink for a 10%er.

Stellaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

I tend to really like the slightly Hop leaning IPAs if their too well balanced they still aren't hoppy enough haha. I especially like the really citrusy and really floral ones. I guess that is why I like Stone so much.

So todays beer choice is Thirsty Dog Cerberus, a Belgian style trippel ale. What a very good and very complex beer. Full of flavors of fruit, spices, yeast, and a touch of honey. This one is rocking my world today, the only problem is that being as how it is a 10% beer, I will only be able to enjoy one or two.

I've been really loving the Sierra Nevada Summerfest lager recently. Very hoppy and flavorful for a lager.

Otherwise I'm partial to IPAs (Lagunitas is one of the best in my book) and malty red ales (as long as they are not sweet - Red Tail Ale is a good one).

I have not tried sierra nevada summerfest. I love their torpedo ipa, but others I have tried from them have been a bit spotty. I may have to give this one a shot.

I held off on trying Summerfest for a long time, mistakenly thinking that it was a fruity wheat beer. When I visited their brewery in Chico earlier this year we sampled all 16 of their current beers and I was most impressed by the Torpedo IPA you mentioned, the Southern Hemisphere Harvest IPA (hops from New Zealand), and the Summerfest.

Left Coast Brewing out of San Clemente CA just got their paperwork in order for selling beer in WA state. Just polished off a 22 of Hop Juice Imperial IPA, 9.7% ABV. It was delicious and strong. Dammit what happened to The Alcohol Thread?
