What is your favorite beer...

I am not a giant beer fan, but I occasionally buy some.

Today, in honor of Mrs. SU making some hot wings, I felt that I should have a 12 pack. So I bought 'Steinlager' which claims to be from New Zealand.

It's fairly 'meh'. The only beer I really like, and I have to be in the mood for it, is Guinness, and it has to be room temp. I've gotten some odd looks when asking for it that way for some reason.

Anyway, most alcohol tastes fairly boring to me; wine tastes like vinegar, etc. And I tend toward the sweet side of things (which makes the bitter Guinness kind of funny to me).

So, what's your favorite beer, and why?

I'm not really into beer, I'm more of a Rye/Coke or Rye/Ginger kinda gal.. but if I had to drink beer.. It would have to be Coors Light or Labatts Blue. Something simple.

Uhmmm
For the cheap I got with Bud Light
for a little more I go with Rolling Rock or Zeagan Bock(sold only in the great state of Texas)
and everyonce in a while ill buy Dos Exquis
But since I dont drink a lot anymore( believe it or not every other weekend or when I go to Houston) I mainly drink Bud Light.

My favorite style by far is an IPA. There are a ton of great American IPAs if you can find 'em. Victory Hop Devil is a personal fave.

There are a few places around here serving cask-conditioned beers now. Now that's good stuff! All flavor, no fizz.

I tend to stay on the cheap side my self. Tried all kinds and found Miller Lite to have the best taste to me. And it's not too expensive. $11.99 for an 18 pack.

Samuel Adams is probably my highly ranked beer/lager, closely followed by Killians Irish Red. I can't drink Bud Light of miller, they don't taste like beer to me :/

While in the US, I'll go for a Killians Red 9 out of 10 times (Sam Adams if Killians not available).

Abroad, by far, Bavaria and Bavaria Dark. It's a Dortmunder type beer. I personally prefer the Dark to the classic version. If not, I'll go to the old standby Imperial, which is a Lager type beer with a nice body and aftertaste.

Here are some links (Imperial can be bought in the US and Australia)

For me, considering that I am young and inexperienced (relatively) with the alcohol, my favorite two beers are:

Sleeman Honey Brown
and

Big Rock Traditional

mmm..... the sweet taste of beer.

Favorite beer of all time would be a Texas only specialty called Ziegen Bock. Such a delicious dark ale enjoyed with the friends or the ladies. However, I used to love drinking Corona, Dos XX, and Negro Modelo when I lived in El Paso and the border was a hop away.
