Alright then - the best beers?
Top three!
Re: Alright then - the best beers?
Tullamore Dew, Wild Turkey Rare Breed, and Tito's Handmade Vodka. Oops, none of them are beer.

Re: Alright then - the best beers?
my favorites made the other list - Foster's and San Miguel.
If you're ever in Kenosha, Wisconsin, there's a place that brews its own, and those were probably the best I've ever had.

Re: Alright then - the best beers?
After 4 pages of "worst beers", hopefully this post gets some play too! I imagine there will be a lot of micro-brews on the list. I am not a beer drinker, but back in the day, many years ago, I was partial to Harp...

local and regional micro-brews are usually the best. In Vermont, I like most offerings by Long Trail, Catamount, and Magic Hat.

Re: Alright then - the best beers?
I have a lot of "favorite beers". It would be hard to narrow it down to just 3, but I'll give it a whirl.
Shiner (most varieties). Their 100th anniversary beer wasn't that good IMO.
Honey Moon
Ziegenbock.
I guess those would be my top 3. Following closely is Corona with lime, Tecate with lime, St. Pauly Girl, New Castle, and a variety of others. What can I say? I like beer. I don't really like to drink, but I do enjoy a good cold beer.

So many excellent Micros around here, but a good hefeweizen is what I'll go for these days. Blue Moon is a decent bottled hefeweizen. I like all the good ones....

In no particular order.
Molson Canadian
Labatts Blue
Coors Light
The colder the better in a frosted mug. They don't call me iceman for nothing.

Re: Alright then - the best beers?
I drink very little beer, but when I do my tastes don't run to the botique beers. An ice cold long neck Miller or Corona will do just fine.
When it comes to the hard stuff, and again I don't drink very much of it either. A few years back I had an attack of pancreatitis which the Dr. attributed to drinking too much booze, so I cut way, way down. Turns out the pancreatitis was due to my gall bladder, which was sucked out three weeks ago. Still, I don't plan on going back to my old drinking habits. A little will go along way for me these days. AFter a drink or two it stops tasting good, so it is time to stop.
J.T.S. Brown burbon (smooth cheap 80 proof table whisky)
Famous Grouse scotch
Herradura tiquila
Titos vodka
Bombay gin
Flor de Cana rum
I don't even try anything else. By this time in my life I know what I enjoy and see no reason to keep on looking.

We have a local Micro Brewery called "Flower Pots" if any of you fine Levergunners find yourselves in Winchester,England, I'll take you to the Black Boy pub and buy you a few pints

Re: Alright then - the best beers?
Mostly a social drinker, as in only when someone comes over we'll down a few.
++1 LeBatts Blue (usually gets "Classy! Hey, you've got LeBatts!" response).
- Bud Premium and Prem Light (or whatever it's called)
- That said, Coors Light is what I usually have around, with a few of the "more exotic" for guests/drop by's.

Re: Alright then - the best beers?
I won't even begin to get into this argument!
I'll just say that the best beer I've ever put in my mouth was a stout made by a brew pub in Pigeon Forge,TN.

Re: Alright then - the best beers?
I prefer Bud Light to about anything else most days (simple tastes)
Rolling Rock, Sol or Dos Equis when its time to go a little more "upscale" Although Sol has been hard to find now that i am on the east coast for a while
due to having several friends who are self-confessed beer snobs, i flirt around the edges of the boutique beer spectrum when i'm with them.
Sam Adams Light would be my favorite in this category, but i also like the seasonal brews as well, and if i'm going out, occasionally i will fit the beer to the mood and the food (Irish pub means Harp , Pei Wei means Asahi or Sapporo, and i might have a stout or a porter with a nice steak dinner, and a light wheat beer to go with Italian food)

Newcastle Brown Ale or Blue Moon. A couple of years ago I had surgery and this was the first beer I had purchased on New Years Eve. It was Saison Dupont a Belgian beer and it was about $12 for a liter. Hey it was New Years Eve and I could have only one. It went down real good.

Re: Alright then - the best beers?
gotta add one more - Stone IPA
we play trivia at Flying Saucer every Tuesday night (we normally win 1st or 2nd place - a $50 or $35 bar tab),
but we always get a pitcher of Stone IPA and, on tap, it is certainly one of the finest light and bitter ales I know.
