Not a girly-man beer like Shiner.

Just picked up an Alesmith Wee Heavy Scotch Ale. Can't wait to try it but at 750ml that's gonna have to wait.

Since I dont consider the food I eat or the fluids I drink a social status thing, I have a nice variety of beers. Plus my wife works at her dad's wine store so I can get anything I want. In fact I rotate Rogue beers in quarter kegs at my house. I store a lot of bottles in my cellar. Mostly stouts which arent suppose to be served cold.
Lawnmower beers:
Miller High Life, Coors Light
From Rogue (personal favorite):
Rogue Dead Guy, Double Dead Guy, Yellowsnow IPA, Brutal Bitter, Jazz Guy Ale
From Stone:
Stone Arrogant ......., Double ......., Oaked ......., Ruination IPA
Varieties (always changing):
Youngs Double Chocolate Stout
Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout
Guinness (can)
Rochefort 8,10
Allagash White, Grand Cru
Saisson Dupont
New Glarus Spotted cow I smuggled home from Wisconsin
Entire Butt
Old Rasputin Imperial Stout

Yards Pennsylvania Pale Ale. A little sweet but drinkable. I probably won't buy it again.

Great selection - especially the Rochefort.Fantastic beer.
I'm not sure about the idea that any stout shouldn't be served cold.It's highly unlikely, for instance, that you'd be served a Youngs Double Chocolate stout in a London pub that wasn't from a fridge, especially in a Youngs pub.
But, of course, it's all a matter of taste. I remember when Guinness launched Guinness Extra Cold in Irish pubs. It was so cold it hurt your sinuses going down and completely destroyed the taste of the stout.It didn't last long.

I'll mention an addition to my beer fridge since my last post on the subject; over Thanksgiving I got a couple of bottles of Life & Limb, the collaboration between the Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head breweries. One's going to stay in the fridge a while to see how it ages. The other bottle -- well, it's empty and in the recycle bin.
It's an excellent beer but Life & Limb doesn't really fit any style that I can think of. A strong, slightly sweet and earthy dark ale that's 10.2% ABV, it has the Cascade hops flavor I'd expect from a Sierra Nevada product and the "what IS this I'm tasting" good weirdness I'd expect from DFH.
Collaborations on one-shot beers are a bit of a fad among craft brewers right now but this was one of the more intriguing. The folks at Sierra Nevada are purists; if there was a U.S. version of the German Reinheitsgebot beer purity law I'd expect them to be among it's strongest advocates. Dogfish Head, on the other hand...well, back in September those Delawarians were one of three breweries hosting a Denver beer tasting titled "Up Your Reinheitsgebot". Enough said?

'Tis the season so I have a case of Harpoon Winter Warmer in the main fridge right now (1st year available in Chicago, seeing it at Binny's brought tears of joy to this former Bostonian's eyes
)
In the wine/beer cabinet there are some bottles of Three Floyd's DarkLord, some left over from 2008 and a few from 2009, although those are Mr. Elola's.
