USA (in general): Sierra Nevada
USA (SYR): Middle Ages Wailing Wench
NZ: any Mac ale
France: nothing - stick to wine

I don't know its name but i like beer in Australian :)

like Stella, like Kronenberg 1664, love Guiness - a meal in a glass :p

Found a Canadian stout that I think may be a wee bit better than Guiness - McAuslen. Discovered it with an Irish boyfriend and although he thought it was blasphemy, he agreed.

Based on recent trips to the UK last year and this, I've become fond of Timothy Taylor Landlord.

Ok, so it's not the greatest stuff in the world, but at least it's not Natural Ice. I mean, heck, an ice cold six pack of Hite tastes really good on a sweaty hot Seoul day...

That said, I'll take a Weihenstephaner any day of the week. ^

Anyone in Sydney with a spare hour, get along to the Blu bar on the top floor of the Shangri-La, at the Rocks [directions] and enjoy the view with one of the above (or both!). ^

Beers
 
A few favourites
No overall winner. Depends on the occasion and the mood

Staropramen
Pilsner Urquell
Budvar
Peroni
Leffe
1664 (only where kept well and served properly chilled - seems to be varaible)
Stella Artois


Very surprised to have seen the likes of Carlsberg and Rolling Rock and Heineken havin been mentioned. Each to their own though.

A perfectly built pint of Guinness if the weather is chilly.

A LongBoard or Abita if its hot out.

Here's a sample of my favorite breweries and beer. Most of these are excellent breweries with all their beer very drinkable.

Westveleteren 12
Moonlight Brewery Death and Taxes
Unibraue especially Le Fin du Monde
Rodenbach Grand Cru - liquid crack to me
Mort Subite Geuze
Leffe Radiuze or Bruin
Augustiner Weissbier
Ommegang especially Three philosophers

3 fonteinen oude geuze
Westmalle Double
Ciney
Grimbergen double
an aged Floureffe
val dieux brown
Cantillon Geuze
Maredsous
ducasse de burgogne
Rothaus - the only pils I really like
Rochefort
Weihenstephaner
Ayinger
El toro
Allegash
Chimay - Grand Cru
Hair of the Dog
Guinness if poured properly. Many places in Dublin including practically across the street from the brewery were pouring it incorrectly.

Breweries that have excellent every day kind of beers that are readily available:
Alaskan
anderson valley

BTW, it is either a Weissbier (white beer) or a Hefeweizen (yeast wheat). It isn't a "hefe" nor "weizen" nor "hefeweissbier." And lemon or oranges belong in them as much as an eggplant and artichoke belong in a coors light.....although anything to hide the taste of that rancid methanol might be an improvement. :p

While Hite certainly is no great shakes, show me someone who says something like this and I'll show you someone who didn't drink enough cheap cheap bad beer in college.

I don't think anything can be worse than a warm Pabst Blue Ribbon or Beast Lite at any temperature (Milwaukee's Best Lite)... Those things make Keystone Light (the beer of choice at my alma mater) taste glorious.

I don't think I have a favorite, though I enjoy a wide variety of beers.

Yes, those Korean beers. While almost every Korean manager I know loves his (and sometimes her) Makkali or Soju, the vast majority opt for local brews when travelling or stationed abroad.

That said, OB from Gwangju at least brews an acceptable lager.
