What are your favorite beers?
Cheap, expensive, whatever -- I'm looking to expand my selection after getting out of school. What're your go-to brews?

My favorite brewer is Modern Times - but you won't see it unless you live in Southern California. Although they do now have a location in Portland.
White Ales - Avery White Rascal, Saint Archer White, Alaskan White. Saisons - Boulevard Tank 7, Goose Island Sofie, Funkwerks Saison Porters - love Founders. Stouts - Any of the Founders breakfast stouts (regular, KBS, CBS). Angel City White Nite (white stout). Old Rasputin is decent. Modern Times' Black House is my favorite. IPAs - Bells Two Hearted, Deschutes Fresh Squeezed, Founders All Day. I really like the session IPAs like the All day or Golden Road's Wolf Pup. Lots of various good German beers - Spaten, Paulaner (love the Salvator Doppelbock), Hacker-Pschorr, Hofbrau.
I'd start here - a lot of these will be available at your local liquor store or even grocery store.
Tank 7 is the perfect saison, imo.
Breakfast Stout and Old Rasputin are great. Bell's Expedition Stout is also outstanding.
If you like Blue Moon, the white rascal is comparable but better imo. Nice list
Chimay premier-red
The kind that gets me drunk
Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin'
Don't look at single beers. Try to taste from different craft breweries from all over the places, different regions, states, countries whatever. Expand on the tastes and weirdness, after few years you'll only want not the ones you have never tried but the tastes you never tried.
This. It's the best way to figure out what you like and don't like.
That being said: Big fan of IPAs. Cigar City Jai Alai (this is my favorite beer), Lagunitas, Goose Island, New Belgium Voodoo Ranger or Juicy Haze Landshark is my second favorite Harpoon UFO White > Blue Moon Pacifico w/ a lime is my go to Mexican beer Peroni There are 5-6 local breweries in my area so I drink their stuff a lot Michelob Ultra if I plan on drinking a lot of beer
Hell yeah, I think I'm addicted to Jail Alai.
not a big IPA guy but Goose Island is fuckin great
I've only had UFO White a few times. Would you say its consistently better than Blue Moon? I've only had it in tallboy cans, while I've had Blue Moon in bottles and cans.
Budweiser Other Half - any of their beers Lagunitas - any of their beers Modello Ommegang Full Sail - any of their beers Belhaven black scottish stout - better than guiness
The above is mostly what I drink.
Because I plan on heavily imbibing later, my favorites in no particular order: Heineken, Bud Light, Montauk Watermelon Ale (yup), Pacifico, Amstel Light (stfu), 21st Amendment Blood Orange, Stone Arrogant Bastard Ale, Corona, Guinness, Goose Island IPA, Birra Moretti, and last but not least Peroni
I would recommend Ichnusa if you like Italian beers
Appreciate the rec man
Corona Light baby
Go for the german beers if you can afford them.
Augustiner Spaten Paulaner etc...
My favorites are Elysian Space Dust (expensive though $13 for a six pack), Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and New England 's Heady Topper IPA. Arguably, Heady Topper is supposed to be one of the best IPA made and rated highly. Sorry, a little biased for the U.S.A. International beers are great too.
Elysian Space Dust is the shit. Considering its almost double the alcohol as a typical light beer its not terribly expensive
Brouwerij 't IJ (NL), Chimay, La Chouffe, St Feuillent, Tripel Karmeliet and other BE beers, many German beers
natty daddy
When I feel like pretending to be a recent grad, Busch light
A wise man once told me to shogun a Natty Ice before every superday… so far 0/1
If I’m home on the east coast I’m going for Yuengling. If I’m not I usually spring for whatever Mexican beer they have, preferably Pacifico or Tecate.
Love IPAs but haven’t taken the time to learn anything about them other than the fact that they absolutely spaghetti me.
Any dogfish head beer and any Harpoon beer when im in the NE.
Dogfish is quality but pretty expensive. I love their selection of beer though.
Had dogfish 120 minute the other day. $20 bucks at a restaurant lol but worth it for that ABV.
Grew up and live in Mass, so I get great access to good beer. Some of my favorites (you can google what they are):
Treehouse: Haze/Julius/King Julius/"I have promises to keep"/Doppleganger
Nightshift: Whirlpool/Santilli/One hop this time Citra/Nite Lite is pretty good too
BLDG8: The IPA
Lawsons: Sip of Sunshine
Alchemist: Heady
Trillium: Congress St/DDH Fort Point/DDH Melcher/Summer St/Literally any of their sours
Exhibit A: Cats Meow/Hair Raiser
Lamplighter: Rabbit/Apollo
Deciduous: Antonym/some sour they make that I can't remember exactly
Mystic: Danger Danger!/Voltage
These places are all fantastic, and continue to put out great new stuff as they each form an identity of their own. People really make a haul to get beers from some of these places. At some of these breweries I have run into several people who drove from Virginia, PA, Ohio, and Canada just to buy a ton of beer at all the different breweries. Dropping thousands on beer. Shits wild. I really do love it because it's genuinely helping Western MA and some lesser areas near Boston get some much needed attention.
Not a fan of Aeronaut brewing. Very overrated. Fuck their beer and somerville. Also fuck Pabst. Shit sucks. Take bud over you any day. I also love bud (light, heavy, plats), natty, corona, rolling rock, old style, yuengling, Harpoon (rip wannamango where tf you at homie???) and pretty much any stout, especially those by Left Hand. I'll add to this if I remember more.
Also from the area and agree 100%. Why do you hate Somerville? Is it because it's an overpriced haven for snobby hipsters?
Hahaha yeah.
I also lived there for a bit in the shittiest house ever. Didn't mind it too bad even though the rent kinda sucked. Worst part was the Somerville parking people tho. I would get tickets for literally being slightly parked on the street in front of my own fucking driveway, and then when I would appeal it they'd just be like "nah".
Porters and stouts - I love dark beers.
Great Lakes Brewing Company's Edmund Fitzgerald Porter is pretty great.
Great Lakes is great, also beyond porters. God I miss those...
I prefer the smooth pilsner with all-natural ingredients
I second Blue Moon. Belgian Whites are really smooth and aren't particularly bitter. I like the orange flavor.
Be aware that when it's left in the fridge for a while it gets more bitter, and yeast coagulates inside the bottle. I mention this because a while ago my "beer connaisseur" roommate threw out my perfectly good beer because he thought there was mold in the bottle.
I heard with Blue-Moon, the orange slice was just a presentation thing, I might be wrong but this is what I heard. I like Blue-Moon by the way.
I pretty sure that they put orange peel into the beer when they make it, and then they just filter it out when it's bottled. The flavor is definitely in there. You can never go wrong with it.
Milwaukee's Best Ice. According to Wikipedia, it is sometimes referred to as "the beast."
Apparently in 2016 they raised the ABV from 5.9% to 6.9%, and then a year later had to knock it back down to 5.9% because it was too successful and their other product lines were suffering [citation needed].
Wheat beer!
Irish, English and German heritage so in the words of Larry Bird, "I like my beer." Also Boston based.
For IPAs - Fiddlehead (Vermont) as of late, Lagunitas is good too. Lagers - Second above with Nite Lite from Night Shift. Hard to find on Taps, ironically they had it at that Tasty Burger at Back Bay station. I also like Weihenstephaner (they do my favorite Oktoberfest). Stout - Guinness is head and shoulders above all. Will never forget my first sip of beer at the Guinness factory. I was 10. Left Hand Brewing (Colorado) does do a good nitro milk stout as a distant second though.
I like the Sam Adams seasonals as well. Sam Summer when it is fresh from a tap is enjoyable. If I am day drinking all day will go budlight. I can do a thousand now.
Tsingtao
Was hoping to find this in the thread somewhere. Tsingtao definitely flies under the radar. +1
Perfect with fried foods
I've visited this beer factory in China. Was pretty good.
Italian Ichnusa is awesome. Blue moon is another good one.. Otherwise a classic bud is always a good idea
Czech beers are top notch.
Thirsty Goat - Amber (Austin) Flavor Country - Hoppy Pale Ale (Austin) Harpoon IPA - IPA (Boston)
Allagash White New Glarus Spotted Cow (can only buy in WI)
Karl Strauss beers are all pretty good. The Booth is a Korean brand and they have great IPAs plus cool packaging
Heineken, Corona, Stella etc.
interestingly, here in Asia, Pabst Blue Ribbon (aka room-temperature sewer water from the US) has successfully rebranded itself as a top-shelf high-end gift item.
It is advertised in in-flight magazines, in golf and yachting magazines, and is served in champagne flutes by business suit-wearing servers at investor conferences.
Pabst Blue Ribbon. For the ambassador's occasion.
https://thetaphead.wordpress.com/2015/02/08/the-high-price-of-imperfect…</a">PBR IS TOP SHELF IN CHINA
I only share this because if you define my favorite beer as "the one which pulled off the greatest heist in history" then I gotta go with Pabst.
Tastes like a wet dog - makes truckloads of money. I appreciate the chutzpah.![]()

Good motherfuckin' choice, motherfucker. Samuel Jackson. Made painstakingly by me, Samuel L. Jackson. It'll get you drunk ! You'll be fu##in' fat girls in no time !
Red Stripe - the taste of Jamaica mon!
Guinness, Tsingtao, Pacifico, Strongbow (cider)
snakebite - half beer, half cider usually Guinness + Strongbow
Arrogant Bastard Ale
