    Bells Double Cream Stout is an excellent seasonal and if it's not in season, why then Oberon is.
    1554 from New Belgium is in my fridge right now, nice heavy beer that tastes like fresh baked bread.
    One of the things I miss about living on the east coast in Yuengling which is the only beer to have with cheesesteak. Luckily I have a spring training trip planned next month and they have it on tap in Clearwater

    Now, Yuengling I can enjoy.

    We have a sandlot baseball field in one of our local leagues, out in the sticks at a rod and gun club. You can go up to the concession stand, quietly slip them a bill and they'll reach under the table and grab you a Yuengling.

    Ballpark's only 15 miles out of Pottsville. It's a great visit.

    The people from Michigan know what Bell's beer tastes like, and that is heaven!

    I think I prefer Founders to Bell's, overall. If comparing Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout to Bell's Hopslam, though ... Christ. You win either way.

    My favorite beer is probably Stone Ruination, but I typically go for a slightly cheaper India pale ale, such as Sierra Nevada Torpedo, New Belgium Ranger, Bear Republic Racer 5, Smuttynose Finestkind or Stone's regular IPA.

    New Belgium loves using biscuit malt...hence that bready taste in beers like 1554 and Fat Tire.

    Blue Moon when I'm actually in the mood to drink. That's happened less and less lately. Maybe the journalism's out of my blood at long last.

    Nowadays, I drink maybe one, two nights a week at the most. And it's usually something like Mike's Hard Lemonade, and then it may be four over a six-hour period.

    I have lost almost 10 pounds since I'd ballooned up to my peak lately. I'm guessing that has something to do with it (no other major diet or exercise changes).

    Drinking all that dark beer in London broke me of ever wanting to sip a dark beer again.

    I am with Shottie. Give me a nice, light (what some would call piss water) beer and I am fine.

    I sometimes will buy Coors Light for my friends who don't drink beer. :)

    I prefer Bud Light. But I'll drink a Coors if someone else is buying. ;)
