What's your favorite Beer?

Beautiful colour - amazing in the nose - excellent til you sip it… Almost no carbonation, unbalanced as hell; no thanks...

@xtcclassic:

Did you try the Perennial? I live about 10 minutes from their brewery. They make a lot of great beers (as well as a few so-so beers). I haven't seen the Last Word anywhere though.

Indeed I did! I enjoyed it much. It's a brilliant premise,  they are modeling a beer after a Last Word cocktail (equal parts lime,  gin, maraschino, green chartreuse) which is one of my favorite sour cocktails. Definitely worth a try if you can find it. What are some of theirs that you've enjoyed? My first time trying one of their brews.

If you can get your hands on any of their Abraxas variants or their Sump Coffee stout (easier said than done, those are a challenge even living in St. Louis as I do), they are spectacular stouts. Also their La Bohème is a great wild ale aged with cherries.

I'd kill for a BA Abraxas…

I think I have a few of those in my basement. Unfortunately they belong to my brother and it's his absolute favorite beer of all time. Quite possibly mine as well. It would take something very, very special to pry one of those out of his hands.

Just moved to NYC from England so if anyone has any recommendations of beers to try that are local to the area, would be grateful!

Check out top hops in soho. They have a great selection of beers and it's in the same neighbourhood as self edge and blue in green.

I relalize that isn't exactly local, but they do stock a lot of founders out of Michigan, which is one of the best and most well rounded Brewers I've ever come across. My knowledge of ny state Brewers is limited.

If you have any suggestions…

More complicated than complex, but very fascinating beer.

Something a little different.

Just finishing this off, I've been really impressed with Clown Shoes lately.

[DanielAFC]

I had that one awhile back. I enjoyed it quite a bit. The crunkle Sam barley wine is a winner as well

Dàmn that looks good @Broark

Just ordered half a case of Pannepot 2012 and XXXX Quadrupel 2013… What's wrong with me?..

So, so many things…

[Seul]

Half a nutcase…

[Broark]

Another really good beer from Clown Shoes.
Can't stop drinking the heavier beers lately it seems like.
Soon the Texas summer heat will kick up and I'll be drinking sours left and right.

[Chris]

Yeah, we've got to enjoy the cold weather while it lasts.  Summer will be here in a couple of months.

Clown Shoes has become a top 5 for me, and echo Dan, Crunkle Sam is fantastic!

[Seul]

Yeah that'un looks great as well… 12% - gotta love the strong beers... I tend to not drink anything less than 10% during winter... And spring... And autumn... I do go down to 9 during summer, though...

[Seul]

14% today…

I'm a big Fire Stone Walker fan, a buddy of mine and I stopped by their brewery when we visited CA last year.
Sucaba and Parabola are some of my favorites.
Currently drinking this, Boulevard seems to be fairly hit or miss of me but this is pretty nice.
