What's your favorite Beer?

It's funny I live in the midst of some great brewers, even if I have to take a bit of a drive to pick some up. When Founders, Bells, Arcadia, and Dark Horse are all local it's hard not to develop good tastes.

That's the crazy thing about Belgium: driving across it only takes 2-3 hours… But we have such diversity in beers it's unbelievable... I really like my country

You´ve got not only a diversity in beers! ….Love Belgium as well.

I was in Brussels last year with a couple of friends. Nice city. Had a lot of fun. But I am sadly not a fan of beer from Belgium. I have tried quite a few. Several that was OK and a lot I would never order again. I will continue searching for a beer from Belgium that I think is more then just OK.  Perhaps you got any suggestions?
I do not like fruity beers, or beer that got to much of a yeasty taste and I do not like when a beer is to sweat or sour and I am not very fond of Weißbier.
Most of the beers I enjoy the most are from, England,  Ireland and Czech Republic.

So what style do you prefer?..

[nizzel55]

Lager, ale, staut.
Some examples of beer I buy and drink alot: Guinness, Belhaven Twisted Thistle IPA, Innis & Gunn, staropramen, Abbot ale, old speckled hen, Smithwick's, Pilsner urquell, New Castle, Brooklyn lager, Fuller's ESB just to name a few.

The best stouts I've had to date were either 'merican or Dutch… So not much help there  Don't really drink standard lager either... And "ale" is too broad a term...

WE'RE STUCK!.. 

[nizzel55]

Brown Ale, Golden Ale, Indian Pale Ale and some of the "Scotch Ales"

[Seul]

What are some of the best Scotch Ales?.. And please don't tell me Gordon's Finest Scotch or X-Mas, cause I refuse to drink anything by Martin's… 

[nizzel55]

I enjoy Innis & Gunn oak aged beer now and then.
But I prefer brown ales, golden ales and IPA when it comes to ale.

[jdl1279]

If you like Scotch Ales, I can pack a pretty good one in with yours.

[Seul]

No idea whether I'm a fan so no need… 

[jdl1279]

It wouldn't be hard to throw one in

Haha so weird: I was JUST reading about that beer… Yeah I'll take one of those 

[jdl1279]

Funny, we do think a lot alike brew wise.

I think once you kinda DIG DEEP and get to know your stuff, you encounter the same stuff, no matter whether you're an eejit Belgina or a kind yank 

And I've just contacted a local store that supposedly distributes Bourbon County in Belgium 

[jdl1279]

You may be right. On a side note, the Cereal Killer I ordered became mysteriously unavailable. The story goes that the 4 pk showed in system, but wasn't in store. Frustrating, I can order one at the restaurant, but now can't find a bottle.

[Seul]

That's a great name for a beer though 

[jdl1279]

Yeah, it's a play on Battle Creek being the home of Kelloggs and Post.
