+1 on Bell's (from Kalamazoo Brewing Company, just down the road)

On a cold night by the fire, Bell's Expedition Stout is indescribably perfect.

Hard to beat Guinness. I don't mind a cheap light beer (Coors Light especially) on those hot summer days, although a G&T is ifnitnitely better.

Sappora!

I have a little place I go to where they have a Two Hearted waiting for me, somehow, before I walk in the door. Seriously. It is my standby.

As a general rule, I love all of their beer, and just had a six pack of Sparkling Ale, which is what I assume you're referring to as their tripel. I like it, a lot, but it's not that impressive for a tripel. It pours a horrible head and finishes too sweet.

There's a little dive in town here that has horrible food, but they always have a special keg of Bell's on tap. Last week was the Third Coast Old Ale. I ended up having three pints (and a couple bottles of DFH 90 minute IPA) and felt like ass for about two days. They're tapping a keg of Hopslam next. Hmmm...

Medalla in Puerto Rico. Not many places in this part of the world where you can get a beer for .75.

Heineken is usually my default beer of choice when out at a bar or restaurant. While at home I usually prefer Bitburger.

I've also found Peroni to complement pizza perfectly.

on a hot day, corona or pacifico.

on a cold day, guinness.

Rochefort 8, Tripel Karmeliet, La Fin du Monde, Gulden Draak ( I think I like Tripels )

Oh, and Sam Adams for when I'm feeling cheap or out at a place w/ few options.

+100. The light variety is fantastic as well.

I've forsaken the Belgian offerings and am into the IPA's now.

So far, my favorite is the Dogfish Head 60-min. I'm gonna try some imperial 90-min tomorrow.

The 90 Min is a good one. The 120 Min is a friggin beast.

I shall try the 90-min, then move on and tackle the 120, if I can find it locally.
