I guess I'm not snooby enough to drink all those beers. People ask me what kind of beer I like and my answer is always "the kind with alcohol in it".
I do enjoy trying new and different beers, though.

Dogfish Head has a bunch of amazing beers - from the 60,90,120minute ipa's, to their Midas Touch and Indian Brown Ale.
Flying Dog and Purple Haze are some other Micro brew's that are coming out with some good beers as they grow too. But as GetLiquid mentioned, Chimay is an awesome beer, a lot of the darker German pilser's are great too.
If you have a Total Wine around - i'm sure their far and in between but we have a couple here in SFLA and they have an entire row dedicated to single beers where you can make your own 6 pack etc... over 500+ beers.
Thanks for the insight bud... We have a place with about 250 single beers, i usually just walk around and grab a few 12 packs and fill em up... Dogfish is one I can't seem to find!

Not sure where you live, but on their website - Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales | Off-centered stuff for off-centered people - on the bottom of their page it's a section called " Fish Finder " and you put in your zipcode and they'll tell within " x " ammount of miles where you can purchase at either a restraunt or store.

My local liquor store that is pretty much ~3 blocks away is the largest liquor store in NJ. Has over 1,500 different brews . You can buy them all by the single bottle and up.

Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat is one I like lately. Always, anytime, anything from Unibroue brewery in Canada. Total Wine and Whole Foods carry a few.

Hi,

DFH/Stone's/Mikeller. DFH 120/90M IPA's, Stones for the Ruination - Levitation let me down after trying Ruination first. The Arrogant Bastard doesn't do a lot for me, not really balanced for mine.

Flying Dog/ Russian River/ Knee Deep Beer Co/ 3 Floyd's are all going hard in the paint right now.

Trying to get my hands on a Hoptimum - whole cone brewed IPA. I'm guessing your username is beer related Mr Sweeper?

Still working on sending beer I've bottle to the US - have Europe licence for private orders. Would be cool to get you guys to try my brews!

Cheers,
Nik
