Grolsch is Dutch not Deutsch, iow from the Netherlands, not Germany.

Among the best beers are the microbrewery beers of the Pacific Coast.

Pls consider Harpoon UFO beer and also Ipswitch Ale, both from Massachusetts!

:)MM

Terminal Gravity IPA is excellent. And I like everything Stone Brewing brews and AleSmith in San Diego is rated even higher! And if you ever get to San Diego, you should check out Pizza Port. 3 locations to chose from and excellent local brew. www.pizzaport.com

Ipswich makes awesome beers. I seek it out whenever in Mass.

Well,it all depends I suppose.
Over here in Blighty we have what we call " session " beers.Normally about 3.8%abv they're good for an average weekday session of four or five pints.
My particular favourite is GFB - a golden hoppy beer made by the Hop Back Brewery in Romsey,Hampshire ( They have a website )
London brewers Youngs also do an excellent session beer which can be stiffened with the addition of a bottle of Ramrod.
Come the weekend and you may want to up the ante a gnats - straying into 4%abv+ terrirtory and then I might opt for a nice Greene King Abbot Ale or perhaps a Wadworths 6X.
Five or six pints of that and you're cooking on all four rings.
By the way - in my local we call Stella Artois " wife-beater "

Anything from Dogfish Head, my favorite seasonal is Pumpkinhead from Shipyard. Not a lot of fruit beer enthusiasts here...

Sierra Nevada, for the money.

I agree on Dogfish Head, and also agree about not being a fruity beer enthusiast ;)

Have seen the Pumkinhead many times, but have been reluctant to buying an entire six just to find out if I want to drink 5 more.

I like fruited beers, have even tried brewing a couple at home. I was originally a fan of Pyramid Apricot ale but lost the taste. I'll drink the strawberry and lemon products from Sam Adams and recall a few raspberry and blueberry beers I could finish. Likewise I wouldn't buy a six of pumpkin for fear of wasting beer (a mortal sin in my religion).

The one I'm drinking. :D

Mammoth Brewing Company: especially IPA.

I'd have to throw my $0.02 for Great Lakes Brewing in CLE - Holy Moses White Ale for year-round enjoyment, Commodore Perry IPA in the summertime (but I think it'll actually be available all-year starting in April or May) but their Christmas Ale (available OCT - DEC) is my all-time favorite.

Not the dreaded beer abuse (wasted, spilled, or dumped beer)...I find that no matter how "bad" the beer is someone will drink it. I brewed a cherry wheat beer once, not so great...I had the best luck with dark ales.
