What's your favorite beer?
I did a search and pulled up a bunch of threads dealing with beer, but didn't see any asking the most basic question: What's your favorite?
My normal go-to beer is Stella Artois - light and crisp making it easy to have more than a few
On a recent trip I was turned on to Chimay. They were serving the Chimay Rouge at this bar and I loved it. Came back and placed a special order and Chimay Bleue is amazing, though a bit pricey I guess. The balance to that is since its 9% ABV you aren't drinking quite as much. Add to that the fact that the bottles are 750ml or 1.5L
(they do have smaller bottles but I can't find them around here). Great stuff though ^

So it all depends. There is no one best beer, except for the one you're drinking at the moment :-)

While sipping a delicious pint of Harp in Dublin the bartender leaned over the counter to inform me that Harp is referred to as Tinker's Piss by the locals. I took the hint and after finishing it off I went right back to Guinness! My all time favorite hands down.
Nothing could prepare for the derogatory term used by Australian’s when referring to XXXX. I think if I typed it out I would be banned from FlyerTalk.

Mass market beer - Guinness - preferably in a pub in Ireland. They take much better care of it there.
Micro - Nut Brown Ale from the Bluegrass Brewing Co in Louisville.
Light mass produced cheap beer - Labatt Blue.

) has at least 12 microbrews on tap and 1 on cask (all constantly changing based on season and availability) and 100+ varieties in the bottle, so I'm spoiled for choice. I'm constantly switching up as I roam through the beer universe, with preferences skewed toward ales, fuller but not overly hoppy lagers, and porters. I prefer pints from the tap, especially since the taps at Bukowski are scrupulously maintained and the chill and carbonation are just right for me.But I would be willing to throw some faves out there, just for fun:
- Favorite Beer After Mowing the Lawn on a Hot Day: tossup between Rolling Rock ("the glass-lined tanks of Old" Latrobe, PA) and Bohemia (MX)
- Favorite Beach Beer: Leon (MX), unattainable in the US (y sin límon, por favor
) - Favorite Session Beer: Brooklyn Brewery Brown Ale (Brooklyn, NY)
- Favorite Beer to Drink While Contemplating the Universe and/or My Navel: Berkshire Brewing Co. Coffeehouse Porter (South Deerfield, MA)
- Favorite Beer at Any US Airport: Sam Adams Boston Lager (Boston, MA)
- Favorite 6-Pack to Go at the Gas Station: Yuengling Traditional Lager (Pottsville, PA) or Anchor Brewing Co. Anchor Steam Beer (San Francisco, CA)
