What beers are you currently drinking? Current stock? My current stock is something like this

Not pictured is another case of Dogfish Head Punkin Ale and a case of Duck Rabbit Milk Stout

My stock tends to be varied, I like to switch between types.

I usually have one case of one of these:

Dogfish Head (90 and 61. If I can ever find it, 120. 61 is probably my favorite though.)
Founders Breakfast Stout (This beer is AMAZING)
Levitation Ale
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Victory Prima Pils
Brooklyn Lager
Narragansett Bock (brewed locally, probably not widely available)
Guiness Extra Stout

Banana bread beer

I really like and recommend anything made by Knee Deep Brewing Company, Campfire Stout, Dubhe Black IPA, Hops of Wrath IPA, Franziskaner, Weihenstephaner, and St. Fuillien Belgian Brown.

Edit- Since we're on this subject, I'd recommend everyone watch "Beer Wars". The Dogfishhead founder is featured quite a bit, and it's mostly about big business beer vs. small business beer.

I've had Campfire Stout which was really good, but only because I had a California friend who had brought some over. I don't think that brewing company imports it to any store near me... which sucks because good stouts tend to be difficult to find.

Talk about reviving a thread.

I'm primarily a Stout drinker.

That chocolate stout is actually fantastic, and so is the Stone Coffee milk stout.

I primarily enjoy Marble stout but it's kinda difficult for me to find.

I figured why make another when there's already one for it...

@LtLuthor did you just revive an abandoned 3-year-old thread?!

So good

I do live in CA, so it's at a few beer shops and even a couple bars now. It's sweet and toasty, chocolatey, graham crackery, which is really hard to pull off well for other beers who try, but Campfire is amazing.

Dam, that Stone Coffee Milk Stout looks good. But haven't seen it around me either. Which is weird, because the shops I go to have all of Stone's other brews... I swear it's like stouts are just not popular where I am or something..

 

[AK L0rdoftheFLY]

stouts are a rare thing for me. I love them so much. Dragons milk is my jam!!!! but its so rich and heavy I need to drink sparingly. I like IPAs cause they are lighter and still delicious.

I decided to celebrate making it through this awful Columbus day weekend by buying myself some Saison Dupont.

Also got some Yard Owl Fire Pit (really great upstate NY local Belgian-style ale) and some Stella (I just really like Stella lol).

Kinda late now but I've been craving a good Mexican lager. The ones that were recommended to me were Pacifico and Presidente, anyone have a preference?

Sol, Carte Blanca, Negro Modelo. Each of these are decent, Negro being the best of the 3 IMO.

Uno para Mexico carnale...

I'm a big stout drinker too. One of my personal favorites is Stone's Russian Imperial Ale, but I also have a soft spot for Derailed Black Cherry Ale, New Belgium Ranger IPA, Post Road Pumpkin Ale, and a milk stout that from my local brewery.

I need to get that Stone Coffee Milk Stout.

Trust me, you will not regret it. It is very good.

If you've ever heard of Marble(it's a brewery local to where I'm from but they're getting bigger and selling nationwide now) try their stout as well. It really is fantastic.

I actually almost bought that today haha. I'll check it out next time I hit the beer store.

I'm a big fan of Stone and all the brews those guys makes. People think I'm crazy for loving the Arrogant Bastard Ale (the oaked version is too rough). I also tried, admittedly disliked, Crime and Punishment.

I think C&P is decent but I'm not a fan of Arrogant Bastard. A good friend of mine absolutely loves it and we go to the only place in town that has it on tap just for him, lol. It's not horrible just not my personal tastes. The double bastard is ROUGH try that one lol.

I love arrogant bastard.

First time I hated it but it has grown on me

Same here. I thought it tasted like liquid dirt at first, then the taste got better for me.

I've had all the Bastard variations, Lucky was rough.
