Beer from where you live.

[mtber]

I have a friend who likes to travel and likes beer so i figured i would see what people thought is the best beer where you live. it could possible give him new ideas as to where to travel and good choices of beer. so let me know what you like and where you live. If anyone is ever in the U.S. or already lives in the U.S. and happen to visit Vermont try.

Magic Hat's - Circus Boy or Number 9

Longtrail's - Blackberry Wheat

here in cleveland, the big thing is The Great Lakes Brewery. it's not too common outside of Ohio, but you can still find it in other states.

All of their beers are simply amazing. They have several seasonal beers that are only available at the brewery, which are always my favorites. Most, if not all, of their beers are above 5% ABV (Y) My roomates and I bought a keg of their 'Blackout Stout' back in February. If you can imagine, it's very very dark and about 9% alcohol :yes:

Around fall and winter they release a couple varieties of their beers that have been "bourbon barrel aged." Boy are those good too.

About a month before Halloween they release their 'Nosferatu.' It's definitely my favorite Great Lakes beer, and generally widely available.

Magic Hat a brewery in Vermont also will release a beer right before Halloween called Hokis Pokis. I am a huge Magic Hat fan love all of their beer.

Cider > Beer

[jbonello]

they say Cisk Lager is the best here :p but i doubt your friend will travel to malta just for the beer. it has been awarded a large number of international awards.

[Ferret]

Here in the UK I really like 'Kronenbourg White' beer.... lovley stuff.

Canada - Molson Canadian, Alexander Keiths, Kokanee

Those are my 3 fav Canadian beers :D

leave.

Molson Canadian is pretty good, ive had brahma wish is brazillian import, which is also good, smoother than Molson, but i like Molson more.

a friend of mine bought Richards last night, the dark stuff, tastes like ****...

what people thought is the best beer where you live.

I'm from Republic of Macedonia, and the best beer is definately SKOPSKO (Skopje is the name of our country's capital city).

As you can see HERE, I'm not the only one thinking that :)

The only beer from where I live now is just the big ones, but they aren't from here. But when i lived in Pennsylvania, there was the Yuengling Lager brewery, was fairly close. Its America's oldest brewery too! Damn good beer to boot..

[jamend]

I usually drink Unibroue beers, they're local to Quebec and quite popular, and mostly Belgian-style ales. My favourite brews are Fin du Monde and Maudite. If I have to get something more "macro" or on tap at pubs, it's usually Rickard's Red (it tastes great unlike Gold, White, etc.). If I need something cheap and easy to drink for partying etc., it'll be Molson Canadian. Usually the only import I bother getting is Hoegaarden.

• Dommelsch
  

I personally like the bold one best.

The locals:

I love the beer from the Penn Brewery.

Penn Pilsner is probably my favorite from there. Followed by St. Nikolaus Bock.

Yuengling is alright.

Others:

I like the Great Lakes Beers, they were mentioned earlier, but they aren't really from my area. My favorite of the Great Lakes Beers is probably Nosferatu.

My favorite Brewing Company by far is Dogfish Head. They are located in Delaware.

My favorite every day beer from them is probably the Chicory Stout. I also Love their Raison D'Etra, Indian Brown Ale, and 90 Minute IPA. But the most intense of all is their Worldwide Stout and their 120 Minute IPA, both of which are around 20% alcohol. I like them a lot but at ~$140 a case I don't buy them often.

Medalla.

[Biotoxic_hazard_835]

In Puerto Rico we manufacture Cerveza Medalla and we used to manufacture Cerveza India in Mayaguez and Cerveza Corona (the original one) in Santurce .

For me (southern Alberta, Canada) it's Big Rock. Pretty much any variety.

Warthog is especially yummy.

MOLSON CANADIAN!!!!!

[Blaxima]

No offense but Canadian is a chix beer. It has next to no flavor and is way to smooth, its like drinking a lite beer.

Someone did mention Alexander Keiths which is good but imo Moosehead is much better. It has a very robust flavor much in the same way Stella does. That brewery also brews Carlsberg here and thats what I mostly drink. Sleemans is another good brewery that sells premium beers, try the Draught(bottle)

If your ever in Canada stay away from the budget beers and the 2 most pushed beers, Molson Canadian and Labatt Blue

Oregon Beers > All

Not like I'm biased or anything... :)

My favorite local would have to be Widmer Hefeweizen on warm sunny days and/or Mirror Pond Pale Ale on a typical rainy day.

[timmmay]

mmm love my Crownies

There's plenty of other nice local beers too, but this is the first that comes to mind :)
