Plus, you can't hate on Seattle beer!

Beck's - I grew up on that stuff as it's from my hometown (all the fond memories...)
Maisel's Weisse for Wheatbeer; their Kristallweizen is great as well
Jever Dark or Flensburger Pilsner for bitter beers
Schwaben Bräu Meister Pils from Stuttgart is another good beer I can think of right now.
Then again there are so many good regional microbrews out there.


Sam Adams sucks... had some for something like 5 Euros a bottle and had to gulp it down in one big sip as I couldn't stand the taste yet didn't want to have thrown that money out of the window... Plus, the bottle is flimsy and feels like plastic.

2. Dog Fish Head IPA
3. Stella Artios
4. Hocus Pocus Summer Ale

Sweet, you make your first post on a clothing forum about beer. That's awesome. Welcome aboard.

I don't get the attraction to beer, I think it tastes like....beer, and that I do not think tastes good. Don't even get me started on liquor I'd rather drink NyQuil

I've had a few hundred pints; I guess it's OK.

Three Floyds has a very small Midwest footprint though I here they're expanding, as Bell's has in recent years.

My favorite beer with a national footprint would be Sierra Nevada Pale Ale but given my druthers I'd choose from dozens of regional micros before SNPA.

Luckily for us, we live within Three Floyd's/Bell's distribution area. I'd bet you guys in Chicago can get Three Floyd's on tap with regularity. In Northern Ohio, TF on tap is unheard of. Oh well, it's Robert the Bruce, Alpha King, and Dreadnaught out of the bottle for now.
Have you ever made it to Kalamazoo for Eccentric Day, Tomasso?

Another vote for Sierra Nevada pale Ale.

I've often told people that beer is geniunely an acquried taste, like big-busted women or lazy Saturday afternoons.

Are big-busted women an acquired taste? I'd have said it was the other way around.

I think that's his point.

I think you're right. Sarcasm is lost on me today, brain too tired to digest.

I usually fall back on either Newcastle or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

To those who have mentioned Asahi, is it just me, or does the Asahi available in the U.S. (brewed in Canada, I think?) taste nothing like the Asahi sold in Japan? I used to drink it a lot while in Tokyo, but don't really care for it now; I don't know if it really doesn't taste the same, or if I just got used to the taste in Japan.

Current favorite is Stone Imperial Russian Stout. Also a big fan of their Ruination IPA.
