I love me some good craft brew. Most recent craft brew I had that I couldn't get enough of was a st. Vrain brew from co

Shiner, dog fish head, and arrogant bastard are some other tops. Shiner has kind of grow. Beyond craft brew status but its still up there for me.

There's dozens of others.

Hell yeah! I'm partial to the chocolatey or coffee porters. I've been drinking a lot of lagunitas lately, they've goy some that are 10% alcohol.

Mmmm Exphys I am with you 100%. Lagunitas is great! Love a good espresso stout. Oakshire makes a great one out of Oregon. Also the ABYSS by deschuttes is a great imperial.

I enjoy a beer every once in a while. I don't really have a favorite one. I enjoy "hoppy" beers.

I really like most of Sam Adams stuff. Thats what i usually prefer. Not big on IPA's or real hoppy stuff. I also hate shit like hoengarden. Has that weird banana clove flavor that I don't like. Prob the worst beer I've ever has is new Belgians mothership wit. Horrible rams piss. I find I either really like new Belgians stuff or can't stand it.
Dog fish head makes some good stuff as well.

When I was in Europe I drank a ton Guinness. It's not nearly as good over hear in the us. Not to mention the bartenders pour a shamrock in the head in the UK.

I'm always reluctant to buy beer I've never had unless I can buy 1 bottle or have it on draft.

You hate the Belgian beers when they raise the temperature during fermentation from 67-75 over 4-6 days. That brings on the banana character and those spicy flavors.

very nice. my kind of a guy. A buddy of mine is a great brewer, he pretty much wins every brewing contest he enters in. The last local home brew festival he made a cider and it placed 2nd, and the name of the cider was "old man Dickens cider." He did that just to hear the announcer say it lol.

I wonder what the announcer looked like after he realized what he read. lol

How about a female announcer describing the earthy, yeasty taste of Mike Hunt's brew... That would be a stellar one. :)

My favorite micro brew is HMB Brewery Mavericks...nice brown ale, excellent with a nice juicy burger or fish tacos.
