What's your favorite Beer?

Why doesn't this surprise me: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/blue-moon-belgian-white-ale/2228/
There's a lot of beer snobbery built into that rating, I think. If it wasn't mass produced and widely available, I bet the score would be 25 points higher. It's really pretty decent beer, and better than virtually anything else brewed in the US on a national/international scale.

As far as US beer goes, all I've really tried is what has been available locally (until I found the various Brewdog bars). So: Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, Anchor Steam, Goose Island etc. There are more that I've tried, but I can't recall.
All quite nice, I really like Anchor and some of the Goose Island. Although their "interpretation" of a classic British ale is, I have to say, fucking appalling.
Now this is beer snobbery: I find I like the US beer more when they do there own thing rather than trying to ape other countries style of brewing.
I need to widen my palate, but the problem at the moment (apart from lack of funds) is that the nearest beer shop to me currently is in Leeds. Which is a couple of hours away. The other alternative is buy online, where I'll get hit by postage costs… The dilemma of the drinker :(.

My mistake, I thought you where disparaging Blue Moon for being widely available in the U.K. But on closer inspection, that turns out to be a happy emoticon (and part of me just died inside for typing the "word" emoticon, damn it happened again).
So, to summarise:
Leave me alone!! I'm drunk :P.
Oh, this Old Guardian works fast…

At 12%, this is stronger than I've had in a while. Pretty good, especially once I let it warm up a bit.
-
Oh, and this is a quick "Before" pic from my badly in need of reorganization beer fridge.
Really gotta get this thing cleaned up and figure out exactly what's lurking in there.

I've had the first 2 and thought they were both excellent, slightly preferring the Saint Bernardus, not tried the other one.
-
Not rare or special, but I really like it.
-
A good bar….their Belgian draught list is second to none.
Bernardus 12 almost done....considering a la trappe quad.....

The draft sours, Petrus and Duchesse de Bourgogne, are both good examples of the style. If you're not familiar with sours, start with the Duchesse.
