I'm in the same boat. Only the NorCal stuff.

Three Anchors:
Steam is mainstay
Porter is a meal in a bottle
The Christmas Beer is great. I always look forward to it every year. I found a restaurant in Emauss, PA that has vintage Anchor Christmas Beer back to the nineties available year round.

My fav summer beer is Blue Star, brewed in Mendocino county.

My house in on the site of an old brewery. There's a hop barn down the hill and the next town over the hill is Hopland.

I was just thinking of Boontville this morning, as the Anderson Valley also produces great apples and wine (chardonnay, champagne).


After reading a few more posts I have to vote for two more:
Negra Modello
San Miguel Dark (Always had a great taste and a putrid aftertaste). Just found some after many years without it. I think they now treat their water differently and the aftertaste is gone.

Yes, Anderson Valley is a great place to visit. My wife and I love to visit on our way home from a nice B&B stay out on the coast. Plus, it is a great drive too..

This is the most pointless thread and completely unrelated to M's, but I'll answer it anyway

I rarely drink beer but when I do I prefer Stella Artois, Heineken, Lowenbrau, Saporo (strongest can ever!) or a good ol' Canadian!

[Crydaddy]

Red horse beer. San miguel light

[dizman7]

Heineken, it makes you turn green

One of my favorites is DFH 120, but it's not legal to sell it in NC, so I rarely get to enjoy it. I don't know how anyone with a taste for good beer can drink Heineken; it's garbage.

The regulars:
Dark & filling - Sam Adams Black Lager
IPA - Sierra Nevada
Pale Ale - Magic Hat #9
The staple beer - Boston Lager

Also have a couple different home brews from a friend aging in the fridge, a winter lager and an oatmeal chocolate stout. I tried the winter lager while we were bottling it and even without carbonation it was tasty; I can't wait until it's ready.

Love the belgium beers (Brickstore Pub in Decatur, GA has an incredible selection)

St. Bernardus Abt 12
Weihenstephaner
Scheider Edel Weisse
Sweetwater 420 (not belgium)

[tinpot]

Boddingtons. The cream of Manchester

After installing HID's, I'll need several Boddingtons to calm me down

[JCtx]

No alcohol at all here; don't like anything. And I'm glad since it's not good for you . Just water and soy milk .

[Jaypod]

DD (Daily Drinker):
- Heineken

Weekenders:
- Guinness
- Becks
- Bass
- Stella
- various Canadian microbrews


Or worst case - whatever is available!

[aajami]

I don't always drink beer. But when I do, I prefer...

...Lindenmans Peche Lambic

[GregW / Oregon]

I'm more into wine, but here in Oregon we have so many great microbreweries and brewpubs, it's tough to pick a favorite. BridgePort, Hair of the Dog, Rogue, Deschutes, Widmer, Terminal Gravity....all great. The one I keep on hand is BridgePort IPA.

IMHO, this stuff absolutely blows Chimay into the weeds. And don't get me wrong - I love me some Cinq Cents.

Depends on which Chimay... Blue is by far the best.

My top 2 beers are Orval Trappist Ale and Delirium Tremens. The Delirium is tricky though, because I get some horrible headaches from that stuff.

Newcastle is my go-to beer when the selection is lacking.

Duvel is a trusty beer... good primer for what a Belgian Pale Ale should taste like.

Modelo Light!

Haven't had the light, but I'm a fan of Negra Modelo. Pacifico is my favorite Mexican beer, though having been to Mazatlan, I probably should know better.

[Suprane]

Sam Adams Black, Negra Mo.
