So other than BMC what beer does everyone like to drink/ or you wish you could have here?

Virtually anything by Sam Adams. The only clunker they've ever made IMO is their Irish Red. Stick to Killians for that.

I also like Beamish. It's Guiness-like, but with a little more flavor. They need to put in in a bottle (I've only ever seen cans).

Worst beer: Red Stripe Light. Red Stripe is bad enough, but the Light is much worse.

My Favorites
1. Newcastle Brown Ale
2. Sam Adams Octoberfest
3. Lucky Bucket Lager
4. St Benardous Abby 12
5. Bud Light Wheat on a nice day if I plan to drink a bunch.
Honorable mention: (Red Stripe (Red Stripe light is awful as said above), Smithwicks, Guiness Ex. Stout, Boulevard wheat & Modelo Negro)

Many more great ones but who has time to cover them all.

Agree on Sam Adams...but my all-time favorite beer that I just happened to try one time is Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier. I don't drink it often but I really like it.

I do enjoy different types of beer...domestic though I have to go with Bud heavy.

I like about any stout and there are too many to name. One in a while I'll head up to the Red Monk and get a trappist but I can't drink a lot of them.

With that said, I love Fat Tire so I normally stick with those.

For tailgating Coors Light or about anything else is fine.

I hate white beer or whatever it's called (Blue Moon).

I see that they have an IPA too, have you ever tried it?

Also: Dales Pale Ale, starting to really like the Past Time Ale and Peace Tree IPA, love me the Coors

Not so much:
-FAT SQUIRRIEL BY NEW GLARUS.
Surprisingly that's my fiance's favorite. I love their Wisconsin Bock.
I just happened to try one time is Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier.
I love all of the Weihenstephaner beers especially the krystalwiess (sp?) but they give my digestive system funny feelings the next day.
Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout
Love that beer too.
The most recent beer I love is Millstream Generations White Ale.

My fiance is from the Philly area and when we go back to visit, I throw down as many of those as I can. I'm starting to think we should drive out there so I can bring some of that back with me in the car.
