Divide them into domestic and imported. I will try to summarize the tally if we get a big enough response. For me, in no particular order: Domestic: Long Trail Otter Creek Magic Hat Labatt's Blue (no flames please) Whatever is in the keg Imported: Bass Ale Watney's Red Barrel MacKesson Stout Castle Milk Stout Lion Lager Guinness What are your favorites?

NewSkier Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Mar 23, 2003 Posts: 314 Location:	Posted: Jul 17, 2005 - 7:36 PM GMT Domestic: Anchor Liberty Ale - favorite domestic Fortuantely there are now many excellent domestic beers (e.g., Anchorsteam, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Long Trail Ale, Sam Adams lager). Imports: Schneider House Weizen Bier, Hoegartten White, Samual Smith's Pale Ale, Young's IPA (I'm partial to wheat beers and Britsh Syle pale ales). Too many fine beers and too little memory left (wonder if there's an association there) but these are a few favorites.

Who makes that and where can us folks in the banana belt get it? rstuthill; To answer your question, Tuckerman Ale is brewed by Tuckerman Brewing in NH. To my knowledge the only place near you to buy it is Town & Country Liquors in W. Springfield MA. Now for my list; Domestic: Long Trail Northampton Brewery Berkshire Brewing Co. Paper City (Holyoke MA) Smuttynose Brewing Dogfish Brewing Magic Hat Flying Dog Brewing Hyland Orchard Brewing Post Road Brewing Otter Creek Olde Burnside Brewing (E. Hartford CT) Imported: Anything from England or Ireland Of course nothing beats a glass of homebrewed beer! __________ Ski the Beast - Berkshire East

atomic68 Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Aug 06, 2004 Posts: 993 Location:	Posted: Jul 18, 2005 - 3:10 PM GMT Lately Miller Lite & Coors Light..... After reading about all the high class obscure beers you all consume my proclamation of liking commercialized domestics probably makes me sound like that guy in that Polander Fruit Spread commercial who says "please pass the jelly" __________

Talisman Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Nov 06, 2002 Posts: 961 Location:	Posted: Jul 18, 2005 - 3:12 PM GMT I like free beer best. Domestic micro brews are what I usually drink covering a wide range of beer and ales. I'm not a wheat beer fan with the only exception being Longr Trail Blackberry Wheat. I also like beer from the UK, Belgium, Germany and Ireland. I'm bumming now that Sam Adams Scotch Ale is now lost.

Kinda don't think I'm gonna have to do any statistics here. The key takeaway is pretty clear. But more responses would be great. Just remember, there is only one thing better than food ... ... free food. Same goes for beer.

rickbolger Profile \| Galleries Rank: Member Since: Mar 14, 2005 Posts: 2299 Location:Great Gorge, NJ	Posted: Jul 18, 2005 - 4:23 PM GMT hey atomic, all the beer I listed (except Yeungling, which is about the same) costs less than your Coors or Miller. I'll split a six of Schmidt with you any time.

I was drinking a Corona-yuck- with a 20 year old Female neighbor last night and i told her how I remembered about 20 years ago when WAAF 107.3 (probably the best hard rock station in the country) used to have a sunday morning talk show. The guest that day was a total no name representing a new beer he was coming out with. It was Jim Koch (Prn:Cook) from Sam Adams and the rest is history.
