That's a tough one.

Any west coast IPA (Green Flash, Stone, Lagunitas, etc.). Those citra hops are amazing.
I do like Bell's offerings too (Two hearted & Hop Slam)
Old Rasputin Imperial Stout
Belly Love's Smoke 'em if you got 'em - interesting smoked Gratzer and the Flying Unicorn Crotch Kick (I admit this one is really because of the name... and 8.9% ABV)
Cuvee van de Keizer - Blauw (Belgian strong dark ale)
Palm special (Belgian pale ale)
Duchesse de bourgogne (Flanders red ale)
Parkway Brewing Co's Gose both Ways (Gose)
Sweetwater Brewing's Say you... say me... Saison Together
Westmalle Abbey Tripel by the Monks at Westmalle
Epic Brewing's Big Bad Baptist(Imperial Stout)
and for lawnmowing: Miller high life.

I could go on...

Almost anything (especially their IPAs) made by Tree House Brewing. I still can't believe this stuff is made in my little old hometown. Arguably one of the best breweries in the US right now.

It turns out that H&B Rugged Saddlebags can each hold at least 16 16oz cans. Definitely worth a field trip if you're within riding/driving distance Thursday through Saturday.

No favorite, I can't drink beer for over a decade - stomach problems.

So I have to stick to cheap whisky, scotch or Grappa! otherwise known as Italian 'Shine

Due to my infirmities I must partake often with the proper free-pour measurement of "Mississippi's" start counting with one and not stopping before five

This was the selection at our annual autumn BBQ a few weeks ago. The Sam Adams was a sampler case and we had a case of everything else except the Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest, had three cases of that.

Jay is riding out Friday morning. We're gonna hook up and ride around Joisey for the day, then he's staying the weekend for the "fest".

You could always join him...

Budweiser in the Soulard district of Saint Louis seems to have more zing - as in: hide the keys.

Olde Mecklenburg Mecktoberfest is out now and is a really good pour.

If I wasn't on the schedule I'd be there with Jay.

I will definitely take a rain check.....

Back from Leffe-land, they still know how to do it!
This from CafÃ© Leffe in Dinant.
Leffe is part of Anheuser-Busch Inbev, I believe. There were lots of other excellent beers available though!

I really like the Leffe Brune but you can't get it here. Ingles in North Georgia has it but t you can't find it anywhere near Charlotte. Strange since it's an Inbev as you say.

That reminds me, I don't think I ever posted a follow-up from Beerfest... here is what was left over:

For grass cutting/weekday grilling it's old Latrobe- Rolling Rock.

For a good IPA hard to beat Bell's Two Hearted or Columbus' IPA.

Boulevard's Ginger-Lemon Radler is fantastic! My new favorite summer on a good patio people watching beer. Too bad it's a seasonal brew!

Bell's Oberon is a nice patio beer in the summer.

For the festive winter season Columbus Winter Warmer, hands down the best of the "Christmas Ales" out there, imo.

My husband's all-time favorites are Grolsch and London Pride, but he's also fond of Leffe and Stella, and in a pinch he'll grab Corona.

I'm fond of any good hefeweizen or witbier, and when I'm feeling really fancy I'll pour some Lindemans Framboise into my Hoegaarden.

Framboise is also very good halved with a Guinness Stout.

Sheepdog · « **Reply #834 on:** November 02, 2015, 03:30:37 PM »

Oskar Blues Old Chub, Abita Baltic Porter, Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stout, and Left Hand Milk Stout are my current favorites. All are highly recommended if you favor malty beer.

Nothing wrong with mixing beers to make them the way you like them.
