The European version of that is Duvel or Delirium Tremens. Solid ABV percentage and great taste. Not sure how cheap they are in the US so many not be as "worth" your money as in Europe. St. Stefanus is another really high quality beer that starts as a pale lager and ages to a dark stout color after 12 months if left alone in the bottle to mature. Best beer, but very regional and personal choice, is Ichnusa "Non filtrata" (unfiltered). Best non-craft/small-batch Italian beer out there.

 

I'd rather just stay sober instead of drink rolling rock.

Yeah somewhat in the same boat, Yuenglings are great and go down fast. Some other go-to's below.

Jai Alai, Sierra Nevada, Dogfishhead, Pilsner Urquell, UFO White, Sip of Sunshine

 

There are dozens if not hundreds of craft brewers making nearly identical but very good IPAs and DIPAs now, I like to try whatever new one I can get my hands on.  Current favorite is probably the Julius from Tree house in MA if I had to choose.  I usually can't drink more than 1-2 of those heavy beers though.

Also love getting my hands on a big bottle of funky farmhouse ale or saison, Hill Farmstead in VT and Tired Hands near Philly have some great ones.  Any other recommendations here?

A Gose or Cider is good for brunch/daytime as a mimosa/bloody alternative.

If I'm drinking heavily good old Bud / Miller / Coors light gets the job done fine.

Panic order at a bar when I haven't had time to look at the draft list yet is always Guinness.  Definitely my favorite non-"craft" beer.

 

Not to be a hater because they're a fantastic and near legendary brewery, but I think Alchemist really needs to expand their beer offering. Heady and Focal are great but they don't stand out to me as much anymore. I have only seen a couple other beers from them besides the big two.

Busch Light, I love it. There's even some classy parts of the country where it's served in glass bottles.

I'm surprised Yuengling is that high on your list, or even on your list at all since I thought you live in California. Oddly enough, I met this one kid in California because I saw he had a Yuengling shirt on and I know it's more popular in PA and the surrounding areas. Turns out he was from the town over from me and was in LA for a tech internship.

I’m a fun guy. Obviously I love the game of basketball. I mean there’s more questions you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself. I'm not just gonna give you a whole spill... I mean, I don't even know where you're sitting at
 

I went to college way out of state before returning to SoCal so that introduced me to a lot of new beers. Also old enough to where the craft scene practically didn't exist thus my list is almost all traditional brands. Yuengling is pretty darn good and all American, gotta love that.

I think that I need to pick Weihenstephaner Hefe-Weiß. It's tough to go wrong with Headdy Topper though, and despite seeking it out you can never find either Pliny here on the east coast.  I've wanted to try it for ages.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
 

For cheap beers, probably Bud, Corona, and Natty. I also like Genesee. For accessible good beers (Im from New England so not applicable everywhere), probably go with various Harpoon IPAs, Sam Summer, some stuff from Brooklyn Brewing, Yuengling, and Allagsash White. Now once we get into craft beers, I am a big fan of various offerings from the following breweries, primarily IPAs, APAs, and stouts: Treehouse, Trillium, Nightshift, Mystic (sadly closed last year, still worth a mention), Exhibit A, Lawsons, BLDG8, Vanished Valley, Hill Farmstead, Zero Gravity, and Lost Nation, among others.

Definitely. I love their stuff in the summer, especially those fruity IPAs. I used to work like a block away from their beer garden in the financial district. Was such a great afternoon break spot.

Genny's very under rated, there are some mixing things like clamato where it fails, but overall it's a tasty beer.

Sam Summer is junk.  Brooklyn makes a lot of good stuff though.  Have you ever been to the Brewery? They make most of the stuff up at FX Matt, but the neat things get brewed in Brooklyn.

Not yet. I really wanted to go this summer but as we know, things aren't really normal. I will go eventually though. I really like their stuff and want to explore the NY beer scene more.

Covid has actually been amazing for craft beer lovers.  A ton of great breweries are shipping/doing home delivery for the first time - Other Half, Finback, Evil Twin in NYC, Tired Hands in PA, Hudson Valley in upstate NY.  The Tavour app is also great - lots of variety and interesting breweries/beers from around the country.
