What's your favorite Beer?

@Chris:

I'd love for you to change my mind.  I find it incredibly disappointing that this state doesn't have a more vibrant brewing culture, but at least in the Houston area, most of the beer being produced is pretty forgettable.

Atwater Brewing, who is based in Detroit, is actually working on opening up a new place in Austin in the near future.  While they may not be the best Michigan has to offer, some of their recent stuff has actually been quite good.  Could be a nice addition to the Texas beer scene…

GREAT beer!..

Any recommendations from the Founders line up? I'm going to my local quality beer store tomorrow and my knowledge of Yankee brews is severely limited.

I'm mainly going to look for things aged in bourbon casks I reckon.

Some new and some well known and beloved!;)

Enjoy ya addiction!

Gav,

Of their standard runs I like the Imperial Stout, Dirty Bastard, and Curmudgeon. The latter likely my favorite of the three. They produce all of these in bourbon barrel, but limited run.

Gav,

I bought an extra 4 of the Founder's Imp Stout without having tried it… Trust me: 'mericans know how to make a mindblowing stout!..

[jdl1279]

^ and I still say the oak aged Curmudgeon is better That is a great stout though

jdl baby: gimme some time to try 'm all ey!..

Thornbridge brewerey ey… Good stuff...

No rush, just making sure the name is firmly seated in your subconscious. Much like I can't get the Cantillon label out of mine

[Seul]

Don't worry… Once I start packing up your stuff, I won't hold back on the bangers 

[jdl1279]

That's good, need to find a couple replacements for yours anyhow, though I have some idea of what. Your sudden access threw off my pack that and I got thirsty

[Seul]

I'm sorry jdl  I'm way impatient and selfish, so I didn't wait on your glorious package… That and a yank on SF ripped me off so I had to find some Bourbon County elsewhere 

But no matter what you send me, I'm sure I'll love it!..

@Seul:

Too bad it wasn't in stock last time you visited  It's probably my favourite tripel… That and the Struise XXX Rye Tripel...

YANKS!.. What should I buy from this GLORIOUS selection (apart from that Bourbon County and Founder's Imp Stout and the Ommegang Three Philosophers)?..

I can't believe they have Epic beer. It's my favorite and brewed here in my he town. They are small even for Utah breweries.  Smoked and Oaked lived up to the name and was quite good. Any of their brainless are good too.

[jdl1279]

No worries E, I've been lackadaisical getting it out with everything else I've had going on. I will get there….eventually ::)

Drinking a Chimay Grande Reserve, not bad, but not as good as the Rochefort.

[Giles]

So far, out of the last batch, this is my favourite:

This was bloody brilliant too…

Luckily, I just managed to catch it before it went off…

Pic heavy from my local beer emporium…

My mini selection.

Not as big on Founder's Porter as I am some of their others. It's not at all bad, just seems a bit lacking. The Old Rasputin is pretty good. Not had the others but they look promising, particularly the Dominion.
