Something seasonal.

(p.s., if you're a "beer snob" and your answer isn't "something seasonal," you're a poser.  doubly so if your go-to is a Newcastle.  jeebus.)

I drink Seasonal Beer all the time. But if I'm out and all they have is Bud/Miller products, maybe Blue Moon and then Newcastle, I'll choose the Newcastle without hesitation. Guess I'm not hardcore enough in my beer snobbery...and honestly I'm fine with that.

Anything by Three Floyds or Great Lakes, though I also like some Bell's, Two Brothers, and Dogfish Head brews.

Currently in my fridge: Bell's Expedition Stout, some leftover Great Lakes Christmas Ale, Two Brothers Cane & Ebel, Three Floyds' Stack & Stab.

Those not from the midwest might have less of an idea what any of these are.

If you're putting yourself into situations where the available options are Blue Moon and Newcastle, your liver needs more practice. XD

drinking is bad for you

No it's not.

I drink two mainly, but I am not picky.

• Tuborg
  
• Carlsberg
  
• ... Ringnes is alright too.

Michigan beers:  http://www.michiganb...-breweries.html

I especially love Arcadia's Cereal Killer

[Majic12]

You haven't truly lived until you tasted one of those.
Local brewery near my hometown. Crazy how they've became known all around the country and even internationally in some cases over the course of the last years. And that's without even spending heaps of cash for ads.

Just try it if you have the chance. You won't be dissapoint.

I'm cheap and usually go with Coors Light, but I really love some Sam Adams, esp. if it's draft or most any dark beer. Most of the time I drink red wine, usually the Franzia kind that comes in a box haha.

I mainly like Czech and German beers (Pilsners and such). Gambrinnus being an interesting Czech one I had in Romania (cheap too!).
Saying that I particularly like Grolsch (Dutch) and Peroni (Itlalian) and the occasional Sol or Corona if we get the weather for it

[Dread_Lord_Pitr]

Oh man, most Dutch beer awful.
But at least you didn't mention that pondscum they call Heineken...

You obviously haven't tried grolsch and yeah Heineken is not exacttly a fine beer lol

[Skrill]

Any bitter chocolate oatmeal stout. Arrogant bastard, or really anything from stone. Drakes brewery has some good ones as well. I have a micro brew bar a short walk from my house so really I drink whatever dark high alcohol beer they have on tap. If your ever I am Oakland check out cato's alehouse. You might even see a skrill there :-)

[ApoC_101]

My top three:

-Deschutes Inversion IPA (Bend, OR)
-Alameda Yellow Wolf Imperial IPA (Portland, OR)
-Elysian Immortal IPA (Seattle, WA)
-special mention to Phillips Hop-Box mixed IPA 12-pack for the sake of tasty variety

Yea, I love IPAs. I'm a fan of various ales and pilsners as well but high-quality cascadian IPAs really can't be beat

Blasphemy!

No srsly, sounding good, need to get me some if I can find it anywhere.
Fact of the day: Waldhaus is also brewing for the "F*cking Hell" brand.

[U8er]

I'm more partial to wine but if I'm drinking beer it's usually Creemore Springs and/or Rickard's Dark.
