hook and ladder backdraft brown is an excellent choice if anyone is in the DC area. It is currently at the top of my list.

1.) Paulaner Hefeweizen
2.) Franziskaner Hefeweizen
3.) Schöfferhofen Hefeweizen

...can you detect a pattern here ? :D

1) Bud Light
2) Corona
3) Guinness

Speight's!
got hooked on it in Dunedin
Used to be you could find it in trader's joe in the us.
Now if someone will start importing it again already...

Tonight, when our boys are defeating Turkey, I'll enjoy one or two or more helle Hefe. But one thing is for sure, it won't be a Schöfferhofer, disgusting.

My favourites are Weihenstephaner, Rothaus, Augustiner, Maisel's and Paulaner (if draft).

P.S.: One thing even worse than Schöfferhofer: Heidelberger Weißbier...brrrr

Tried Kryptonite at Iron Hill Brewery in Lancaster, PA and loved it! It's basically an imperial IPA, and was very yummy! Food there wasn't bad either. :D

Having a Lindemans Kriek Lambic at the moment, and it's delicious. Summertime is the time for lambics.

Tasted a few great beers at the Oregon Brewers Festival this past weekend:

My favorite was:

Pliny the Elder (Russian River)

May be the best beer I've ever had ^

I've seen that but never picked one up, will have to try it next time. BeerAdvocate.com rates it an A+, and number 9 on the "top beers on planet earth" list, with Pliny the Younger coming in at number 4.

A Cautionary Note About Pliny the Elder
 

It was once only available on draft but the Russian River Brewing Co. started bottling Pliny the Elder after opening a larger brewery earlier this year. Pliny the Younger is still draft-only.

If you like hops, these beers are very much worth seeking out. But either Pliny (the Elder is a "Double IPA"; the Younger is a "Triple IPA") is a highly alcoholic hop monster. If someone's not ready for a big, big beer that is tongue-bucklingly bitter, they might be overwhelmed. I can say from personal experience that even the creator and brewer of Pliny the Elder usually finds it sufficient to share a bottle rather than opening one for each person at the table.

Ahhh! framboise lambic! yum ym! :D

Here are some of my favorite beers
 

I love Fat Tire Beer, Blue Moon,Carlsberg.

I also have a ritual when I am at an airport to either go to a bar serving local beers or I will go to Gordon Biersch for a beer or two.

I love anything New Belgium makes. Fat Tire and 1554 are two of my faves.

Mmm, sounds yummy! I may have to take a trip to find it!

Speight's was great! My wife and I ended up in their establishments quite a bit whilst in New Zealand ^

You go to Gordon Biersch on a regular basis and your favourite beer is a Carlsberg? :confused: You remind me of the people that go to a local ale house which has 300 beers in bottles, and 56 on draft and then order a Budweiser or a Miller Lite...I mean seriously!
