Definately one of my favorites. ^

Michelob is one that I can definately live without.

Those wordings can be deceptive to be honest. :D I have to admit when I first saw the term "Deutsch", I was under the impression that it was Dutch and not German. :o

Being no Beer geographic origin expert myself, may I ask which particular region of the Pacific it is from? :)

I used to like Rolling Rock because it was a clean, simple taste but refreshing. It was bought out by a larger brewing house (forget which one) and maybe it's my imagination, but I can detect a different taste which makes it seem more like every other mass-produced beer, in other words, it's still drinkable but nothing special anymore.

There's a New Orleans beer I used to like but I don't even know if they make it anymore, esp. post-Katrina. Dixie or something? :D I'm so knowledgable. lol

I do like Sam Adams' wheat ale.

Not for their taste. But do love their TV commercials. :)

Anchor Steam.

After Rolling Rock was purchased by Anheuser-Busch, A-B closed the Latrobe, Pennsylvania brewery and moved production of the beer to Newark, New Jersey about a year ago. The Latrobe plant has been taken over by Boston Beer Co. and will be used for making Samuel Adams beers.

Dixie's brewery on Tulane Ave. was still a wrecked shell, damaged more by looting than by flooding, when I visited NOLA earlier this year; the Dixie beers are being contract brewed in Wisconsin until production can resume in New Orleans.

I'll put in my vote for Troegs Pale Ale (Harrisburg, PA) and Pyramid Apricot Weizen (Seattle, WA).

What we need to have one of our Belgian friends arrange is a FT DO in Belgium, with dual focus on beers and on travel strategies.

THAT would be a fun trip!

Jaxx, maybe?

summer beer
 

My favorite beer overall is Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA. During the summer when seasonal flavors come out I enjoy:
-Anchor Summer
-Samuel Adams Summer Ale
-Blue Moon White

I've seen a lot of good microbrews mentioned. Two larger breweries that I enjoy are Yuengling and Berghoff by Huber Brewing Co. (Incidentally, the first and second oldest breweries in the U.S.). Both produce very drinkable (and very affordable) beers.

Big Yuengling fan! Living in PHL, that's what i grew up with.

Definitely true. Pizza Port is fantastic and worth the wait. From stone, my favorite has to be the Oaked Arrogant ....... (preferable on tap). Oh, and another to add to the west coast list...Green Flash Extra Pale Ale.
