True, unless I was stepping into a bar with a Miller High Life on the mind. It does happen occasionally.

Definitely German Wheat Beer
 
Especially Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse

One beer that I really enjoy that not too many people drink/know about is Sol. Sol is the most refreshing beer on a hot day at the beach. I also love the artwork on the bottle.

I have a real soft spot for Cooper's Sparkling Ale (aka Cooper's Red).

A trip to Wisconsin isn't complete without some New Glarus Spotted Cow.

I haven't found a beer that I like better anyplace else.

Even after the brand got bought by Anheuser-Busch and production was moved from Latrobe, Pennsylvania to Newark, New Jersey?

Of course, once upon a time you did try to stop hockey pucks.... :p

if you ever make it to the southwest of Germany, try Rothaus Tannenzäpfle
(Small Fir Cone), brewed by a state owned brewery up in the Black Forest,. pretty potent brew with 5.1 %.
and quite a funny story about the girl on the label. check out wiki:

The best beer is the beer you make yourself!

Relax and have a homebrew.

No worries. ;) I have never found your postings regarding malted beverages to lead anyone astray. This is just a personal habit of mine, but I will try it as you suggest instead. :)

I second this, even though they're owned by Miller Brewing now. The mystique was bigger for me when I couldn't get Leinie Red in my local Stop & Shop, but now it saves me the trouble of having to haul a case back from WI when I go to visit family.

I love my Wisconsin beer, but my favorite is Belgian Lambic (as long as it's not too sweetend)

Added: Can't forget Guinness

well i had my Westvleteren 12. it was awesome. very complex, very flavorful, very powerful. if any of you beer lovers out there have a chance to sample it, do yourself a favor and do so. i don't think you will be disappointed.

the worst thing about it is that i do not know when i will have another one. maybe a belgian beer tour is in order.
