Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest-Märzen - It might not be the best Oktoberfest beer out there, but I quite liked it.

Spaten Oktoberfest - It was good but I would take the Hacker-Pschorr over this one.

Pax Bräu Oberelsbach Weizenbier - This was one my wife got for me at one of the Christmas markets, I think it was either Innsbruck or Garmisch.  It came in a 1 liter bottle and had a cloudy amber color that was light on carbonation.  This was a good one.  One that I will keep an eye for at future markets.   

Westmalle Trappist Tripel and Dubbel Ale - One word, excellent (especially the Dubbel).  They really brew some great stuff in Belgium and I would love to get there to try some more of their stuff.  This has been like an annual Christmas thing for me as it's the only time I can get it (again at Christmas markets).

Corsendonk Pater Dubbel - Another one from Belgium that I haven't opened yet.  I think I will give this one a try over the weekend and will pass along what I think.

Next week I am heading back to the Garmisch area for a week so I will get out to see what I can find.

Had one of these a couple of weeks ago.  Wowzers!  A lot going on in there, and it packed a wallop.

Wolaver Oatmeal Stout (bottle).
Very good.

I like the Sam Adams IPA "Latitude 48", they are selling it in six packs now, once it comes in cases I will be stocking up. I like it better than the Harpoon IPA, and it doesn't knock me out like Dogfish does.

Have been splurging on a variety of Sam Adams beers over the holidays; but a friend just brought by some of my all time fav Czechvar (Budvar in the Czech Republic) and I was taken back to the days in the 90's when you could get a pint there for 50 cents. Amazing beer, even better price. Here it is now 9.99 a sixpack, but still worth every penny. Only one problem - it is sooo drinkable. Love Sam Adams, but sometimes think Jim Koch tries too hard making his beers over bearing. Budvar goes down easy and tastes great.

Went to Cezky Budjeovice (Budwiess in German) several times to drink Budvar in the beer hall there (or the cathedral of beer as we called it for its basilica like form) just off the amazing town square . Yes it is where Budweiser got its name; but clearly not its taste. I'll take the Beer of Kings (Czechvar/Budvar) over the King of Beers any day!

Oh my goodness!  I think I have new most favoritest beer ever. All of the best things I like in a beer.  Dark, fairly heavy, flavorful, and STRONG!

Old Raspututin Russina Imperial Stout

Lagunitas Brown Shugga, draft.

It's fantastic to have this beer again (we moved a year ago from Cali to NYC).  This is a great beer, but not for the faint of heart.

I had that from the bottle, and I think the beer is a lot like the way I feel about the movie "Brazil"...a lot of love and creativity went into making it, but it ain't for me.

Makes sense this thread comes up during the games.

Victory Hop Devil IPA  - better than I thought it would be. From Downington PA

I think that's next on my list at a local pizza place that carries a bunch of excellent beers

Smuttynose IPA.
A nice reliable favorite.  Plus I love the picture of the two old guys in lawn chairs on the label.

I understand what you mean (I feel this way about scotch, for example).  Did you drink it straight from the bottle or pour it in a glass?

recent delivery from Belgium ... Maredsous 6, 8 &10 in a presentation pack complete with a ceramic grail to embibe the glorious liquid ...

I looked like a serious fool but it was a gift so had to be done ...

I've got two, one that's sweet to the taste & one that's sweet on the wallet.

Full Suit by Karl Strauss:  an extra malty porter that is quite generous on the alcohol content

Buck Range:  12 packs for $5 bucks, tastes just like High Life
