I have to ask, if beer had no alcohol content, would you still drink it? I have no taste for beer so that's why I ask...

Good question. I probably wouldn't, just like I wouldn't drink decaffeinated coffee.

The one being served by the buxom bar maid who feels the need to reach across the table to wipe up some unknown spill.

My favourites! (Ok, I actually prefer the Rochefort 8 over the 10)
All beautiful, harmonious, strong Belgian ales - except the Ringnes Extra Gold, which is a rich pilsner-type.
They're great (best?) at about 10C.

Several years ago my Kiddos brewed up an IPA for me for Christmas. My Grand Kiddos call me B_Pa, it comes from the oldest trying to say GrandPa when he was about a year (?) old and it stuck, they all call me that to this day. I like it.

So, B_Pa IPA was born. We have brewed it many more times since, once in a Imperial Pale Ale which was a bit more rugged, we went back to India Pale Ale, so flavorful... Mmmm...

Highland Brewery's seasonal offering- Thunderstruck Coffee Porter, is absolutely excellent and my favorite beer for now.

I'm digging the New Glarus Spotted Cow (a Wisconsin farmhouse ale) for now.

I'm looking forward to a couple of Tui's with my Brothers next month when I hit Godzone.

I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but my trusty Guzzi dealer, Moto Richmond, sits a half-block away from an award-winning local brewery and pub.

Legend Brown Ale makes the wait seem shorter and the bill seem more reasonable. Requires willpower, though!

I usually buy the stuff by the case at Costco and confine my drinking to home base.

At Christmas time, back at my mom's house in Harrisburg, I really, really love a Troeg's Mad Elf (or two...but watch out, they sneak up on you quite quickly...) https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/694/7531/

I live in Wisconsin, and we can get more varieties of first-class beer here than any one person needs or deserves in a lifetime, but I do miss the Mad Elf on those years that I don't travel back east.

Other Half double dry hopped IPA

I don't drink beer nearly enough, but when I do....... its preferably a cold Hefeweizen (which still has its Wheat / Yeast proteins, so the beer color ranges from a pale straw to a dark golden color), or a Kristallweizen (Wheat and Yeast proteins have been filtered out and the beer is clear), or I drink a Yuengling if the Hefeweizen or Kristallweizen is not available.

If you guys never tasted a Hefeweizen or Kritallweizen, then try one, you will probably like it!

My son flew up to DC, to get this for me for Christmas. DC had the first batch released. Interesting flavor, brewed with granola. I think I detected notes of patchouli, weed and unshaven twirling girls.

Can't have just one....

Chimay Red

Guinness Draught

Pilsner Urquell

Sam Adams Boston Lager

Stella

Go to is Pilsner and Stella, Guinness whenever I feel like it, Sam is the fallback and Chimay when I have the extra cash....

On the Craft beers..... Too many IPA's.... Devil's backbone has a couple decent beers but I think my favorite craft Brewer has to be Blue point toasted lager out of Long Island. We have Port City here in Alexandria Virginia which is okay nothing special. There's an outfit out of Hershey PA called Troegs they have an Ale called Mad Elf which is outstanding, https://troegs.com/beer/mad-elf/

Ah too many to choose, but if I had to only choose one it would probably be pilsner urquell, never get tired of that beer.

Current Favorite.

Chocolatey Malt and mocha aroma. Dark brown pour with light head. Slight taste of licorice, malty, roasty, earthy.

I would, and I do! It's come a long way... to the point that I doubt many casual beer drinkers would even notice, until they've had a couple.

I'm late to this thread, used to be a beer snob, but now? I either make my beer choice based on the meal its accompanying... or go for a nice clean, crisp pilsner... and in that case, I tend to go for the local inexpensive store branded stuff. "Co-op" has a Pilsner, made and bottled by Big Rock Brewery, it's good. And "Great Western" makes a decent Pilsner, too. Good for those hot summer days in the garage, when water just won't cut it.

Sounds familiar... When I didn't get out of work early enough in New Orleans to hit the "real" laundromat, it was off to Igor's on St Charles- bar/laundromat/pool tables. Lots more enjoyable, but I usually left broke with a huge sack of wet laundry on the handlebars my Schwinn after drinking the money budgeted for the dryers.. They always had Abita on tap and Turbo Dog was nice and dark but not heavy.

there a few beers I don't want but will generally drink whatever is available. Life is too short to be a beer snob. Like a good friend (who has the local beer store in my hometown) asked once - "are you buying for locals or foreigners?"

ANYTHING from Singlecut in NYC. The best thing to come from there in................E VER!

My son in law just opened his brewery in Waltham, MA. Mighty Squirrel. My favorite is their Czech style Pilsner. IPA guys will like their Cloud Candy IPA, and Cosmic Distortion double IPA. Johnny Hammer Time if you can handle a triple IPA.

Anything past a standard IPA (when we're getting into "double" and "triple" territory... no thanks. Not for me.

Any Belgian beer made by monks is at the top of the list. Yuengling is"Americas oldest breweries" (Pitts., Penn.), and their lager is quite tastey. For cheap stuff, it gets two thumbs up! Yuengling is not distributed everywhere, so I have friends that make their way to Penn. and pick me up some now and again. :P

Hey kev yuengling is made on the other end of Pa. In Pottsville Pa. (Near philly). Pittsburgh still brewing iron city and tons of micro brewers!

Alaskan Amber is probably my favorite. Can't find it in the south, which is probably a good thing, so when I do run across it in my travels, I appreciate it more. Also enjoy a couple of others:
