Oh what luck.. I just decided to take a hiatus from my IT career and started working for a couple liquor stores 3 months ago. Since then I've just been trying every brew conceivable. I've had some immense favorites lately.
Here we go, in no particular order.. just whats my current favorite right now. Like a mp3 playlist, my top beers are subject to change, and always dynamic.
Kona Brewing Company's Pipleline Porter brewed with REAL Kona Coffee.
Dark complextion, thicker beer. Smooth, with a nice subtle coffee finish that leaves you wanting more.
Paulaner's Oktoberfest
Wow. I dont know why I like it so much, but I do. I down this stuff like its water, but its so much more. I can't begin to do it justice describing it, but I've gotten several 5.0L mini kegs of it since trying it.
O'Dell Brewery's 90 Schilling
As a native of Colorado and the state with the most microbrews on the planet, I've had the fortune of drinking this beer for the last 7 years. Its always fresh, always good, and always filling. Its just awesome.
New Belgium's Trippel
From the makers of Fat Tire, which I also love... But this one, is just up my alley. In bottle fermination still going on.. You pour half of it, give the beer a nice swirl or two, then finish off the glass. What you have is a blissful belgian style ale.
Sam Adams' Winter Lagar
I drank this beer all last winter, and I've been waiting for its release again this year. I can't get enough. It goes down smooth, with a fantastic finish. Hints of Caramel and Chocolate, but subtle enough that it doesn't overpower the taste of the lager. Its almost perfect, I wish it wasn't a seasonal.
Other brews I drink and recommend regularly:
Guinness - thick, creamy, delicious.
Stella Artois - in the bottle beer. When you pour, it gets skunky, unless fresh from a tap.
Heineken - in a bottle, its the best. Again, don't poor in a glass.
Fat Tire - epitome of a good Colorado Brew.
Modelo - in a can. Awesome, cheap, mexican beer.
Chimay - the champaign of beers. Really.
And for my domestic, I pick MGD.
I'm waiting to try the re-release of Schlitz original brew. Its only in small markets right now, but reviews are positive. The Schlitz brewing company is an interesting story. Its hard for me to fathom that for nearly 100 years they were this country's #1 brewer. They lost that title to Budweiser during a strike in the mid 50's and then changed their recipe.. they kept changing it, and making it worse. They lost their share. The original recipe is being used again, and the response is overwhelming from what I hear. I want to know what all the fuss is about, but I'm hyped.. I dont know why. I guess I want to know the what the beer the majority of americans from generations past used to drink, what all the buzz is about.

There are some great beer choices mixed in through this thread. Some I haven't thought of in awhile and some I haven't heard of. Going to have to do some sampling this winter and work my way through the thread. Always a good goal......must try one of everything on the list that I haven't heard of.......or tried before.
Some of the generics I'll just have to pass on.
