These are a few of my favorites that I highly recommend:

Magic Hat #9
Long Trail Blackbeary Wheat (yes, it is the correct spelling)
Wachusett Blueberry
Sam Adams Octoberfest
Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA (~18%, used to be 22%)
Dogfish Head Midas Touch (9%)
Harpoon IPA
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat

Just to name a few....sorry if they have been mentioned. It's a long post lol.

But you cannot go wrong with good old fashioned Budweiser.

Dogfish Head World Wide Stout (if you have a craft brew store, they'll have gotten in a shipment of this like a month or longer ago, and for a while nobody could talk about anything else)

Where i am the price per bottle is pretty steep ($7.99), and I'm not sure its worth it.

The stout is too sweet for my tastes (Dogfish calls it a stout that should be a porter, and they're right), but the range of tastes that come to mind when you drink it are ranging and awesome.

It reminds me as much of a barelywine as anything. Like a coffee roasted malty barelywine. Does that not make sense?

18% ABV. Drink 4 and tell me you're not as think as I drunk you are.

Had cause to celebrate last night, and had just heard an interview with Jim Cook so I grabbed a bottle of Infinium.  Pretty tasty. Pretty bottle.  It felt festive and champagney.  definitely packed a wallop. Not sure if I'd drink it again but I like the idea.

I've been waiting for this to be released!  Definitely want to pick up a bottle or two before they're gone...did you have any difficulty finding it?

REdz, I owe you one. You put me onto those limited edition beers. I never buy those 8 or 10 dollar wine bottles of beers.

But tonight I bought two imperial IPA's.

1) The Southern Tier "Unearthly"

Liked it, didn't love it. The hops should've punched me in the face, but it felt like a shot in the arm. Too much barley.

2) The Dogfish "Squall IPA"

Liked this way more. Dogfish misses the mark on a beer or two for my own pallet. I'm a weird guy..I love mild stouts, but I hate heavy porters. I love a good pale ale, but hate a weak pale ale.

Dogfish hit the mark here. Its not the nut-tap that is the 120 Min IPA, but is not the malty barley infested pretender some imperials try to be either.

Enough hops for me to say "WOW!", but not enough to hurt ya.

Highly recommended.

Modus Hoperandi from Ska Brewing in Colorado.  
If you like medium pale ales, sierra, harpoon, etc., you will love this.  Its just a little more bitter, but dry and clean without the big malty aftertaste and without the complete over-the-top super hoppy thing a lot of brewers are doing (looking at you dogfish, and lagunitas, and bridgeport).



Also, their website is pretty funny, all done up as a comic book.

How do I insert an image? the picture of the can is below but I couldn't get it in the actual posting, yes a can, don't be scared.

Park Brau was the best german beer I ever had.  One could drink a rack in two hours it was so good.

Rogue Imperial IPA

The bottle got me.

The taste was...nice. Strong, hop aroma, stronger bittering hops (maybe a little too strong, not a lot of heft for the hops), strong hop finish with slight alcohol taste.

Overall I'd give it a 7/10.

Good beer, awesome bottle. Depending on the price, I'd try it again. I bought it for $17.00. I would buy it for $11-13 again.

Drinking this tonight for the Spurs game:



Goose Island Bourbon County Stout - aged in bourbon barrels, this is a ridiculously strong beer, both for flavor and ABV.  I like it - the bourbon flavor really comes through, but be prepared to share one, it is 13% and very thick.  Definitely worth a try if you like super-strong dark beers.

Wow that looks good. Would try if I ever saw it.

I am not a huge mircobrew type of guy, I buy whatever looks interesting in the local supermarket or Costco.

They are opening a Trader Joe's (from which I hear they select great mircobrews) less than 2 miles from me so maybe then I will start trying different things.

For now I will stick to my Costco Sam Adams Variety 24-pack lol. My latest one included Sam Adams Chocolate Bock, which was different, but good.
