damn, it\'s like a beer fantasy in here...
you guys have mentioned some good ones...in my travels i have found that beer is something that most everyone can agree on...mostly agreein\' to have another...
@steelcult: i remember shiner bock from when i lived in austin...shame they got bought by the big guys...
@supervike: hobgoblin has a good name...i\'ll have to go search for that one...
what kinda bitter guinness are ya drinkin\'??? the bottles of extra stout can be a bit bitter, but the cans with the widget go down smooth...
@tidoco: i love some old peculiar...one of my top discoveries in england...
@jesterz: abita seems to be a little known secret...glad ya know \'em...when i lived in new orleans, we had the turbodog on tap all over...so good...
@freak: guinness in ireland is a little slice o\' heaven...nothin\' could top a good irish guinness for me...
@earkham: tsing tao is not bad, but none of the asian beers can hold a candle to kirin ichiban in my opinion...if ya like asian beer, try singha, thailand\'s national beer...
@shawn: redtail rocks!!!
for me, it\'s hard to have a favorite...depends more on where i am at...in amsterdam i love to drink a local brew called columbus...it\'s made in town at a place called brewery ij, which is in an old windmill...too cool...potent brew too...
they also do one called vlo(the flea) that will kick you ass...
in belgium it\'s all about goin\' to visit the trappist monks, and drinkin\' their holy brew...now i know where the image of the jolly friar comes from...he wash three sheets to the wind and talkin\' to god...
last year i lived in mazatlan, mexico, where the pacifico brewery is...days seem to get lost every once in a while when ya live 5 minutes from a brewery...they have a brand called el indio in southern mexico, which is a dark beer...not what ya would expect if all ya know is corona, but definitely one of my top world beers...
here in the states we have so many good micros...pyramid, rouge, and so many others...old fat tire is a great micro, and anchor steam outta frisco is still brewed in the old style...
up here in alaska we have a killer little brewery called bird creek, nestled down in the mountains where they do all the extreme snowboardin\'...they do great unfiltered, yeasty, traditional beers...then there is of course alaskan ale, probably available all over the u.s. by now... alaskan amber is top...
