My local Kroger seems to have a different craft selection every time I go and I try to pick out beers I've never tried before, and I'm very seasonal in the types of beers I'll drink throughout the year, but I tend to always have some Magic Hat #9 around. It seems to go down easy no matter the weather or my mood. And if I'm in the mood to act like I'm back in college and just put down some alcohol while playing games, I'll switch to Yuengling or Budweiser while sipping on a good IPA or lager as my "chaser".

Or standing...Drank a lot of Southampton Pumpkin on tap this fall, good beer. This Trappiste ale is another good one if you can find it. Very well thought of and yes the 10 is for 10% ;). Comes in 6 and 8 too.

Deschutes Brewery (Oregon) Mirror Pond Pale ale. Yes, I drink the heavy stuff and skip the light swill. Life is too short for pee beer.

Sampled some Warthog Ale last time I was out west that I liked.

I wouldn't drink any of those mentioned or pictured so far.

In the fridge right now:

Weirbacher Blithering Idiot
La Trappe Quadrupel
Mardsous Tripel
Grimbergen Dubbel
Affligem Blonde
Weirbacher Imperial Pumpkin (seasonal leftover)
Guiness Draft (for when you don't need 9% ABV)

A favorite? Who can choose?!? If I had to nail just one, I'd say Allagash Curieux, but that could change tomorrow. Delirium Tremens is also very high on the list, and about half the price of Curieux.

Wow - I'm living on the wrong side of the tracks. Does this count...? ;lol

OK I think Joful just threw up a little bit. I had to try a 6 pack . It's actually not made any more - a crappy beer but great bottles - still have one somewhere in spite of my wife's attempts to toss it (nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.....)

I recently found this one. Which was not as enjoyable as the can. Give me a nice bitter pilsner and I'll be happy.

Me I like cold beer...love a frosty glass mug.... yea!!!
 
I have gone to the low carb side made by Michelob. Called Ultra. Surprising good. May the force be with you. For all you guys with beer guts LoL.
 
Back in the day, when I drank a lot of beer it was Stroh's Dark, a rich full flavored lager. Sadly the company was dissolved in 2000 and most of the Stroh's brands were acquired by Pabst. When I want the occasional beer now, it's usually a nice dark Yuengling

No beer gut here... you just gotta split more wood, or spend a few more hours on the yard work.

Trappist ales are those brewed by the Trappist Monks, including about half or my prior list (Maredsous, Grimbergen, La Trappe, etc.). That said, the Rochefort 10 is an excellent beer. This is truly a world-class Quadrupel. Their 6 is a Dubbel, and their 8 is a "Strong Dark Ale". Not sure if they've made a Tripel style, as I've never seen one. Rochefort is not as plentiful as ales from other Trappist breweries in our local bars and distributors.

The Rochefort quad is very similar to my La Trappe Quadrupel (10% ABV) from Bierbrouwerij De Koningshoeven. The quads I can usually find in our local bars and distributors are Kwak, Three Philosophers (local to you, jatoxico), La Trappe, St. Bernardus Abt.12, and Victory V12. Of these, Kwak is probably my favorite, although St. Bernardus Abt.12 is a mean contender, and more highly rated.

To anyone who hasn't been enlightened to the joys of Trappist ales, I recommend picking up the St. Bernardus variety pack. At $110, it's a bargain. Give the Wit to your wife, and enjoy the other five brews (Pater 6, Prior 8, Abt.12, Tripel, Watou Tripel). It's the best mix of Trappist ales you'll find in a single box, anywhere.

I'm not a beer snob, although Bud is not my favorite. Like a lot of places these days I am lucky to have good local breweries that I like to support. Aside from the usual stuff my watering hole usually has something from Brooklyn, Bluepoint and/or Southampton on tap and even some less well distributed micro brew stuff like from Port Jeff.

That said, the Rochefort and other Trappist ales are outstanding. I have one bottle left so it's time to restock. The variety pack you mentioned sounds like a bargain on per bottle basis so I will have to see if my local distributor can get it. Think I'll pick up another 12 pk of the Optimator while I'm at it. Cheers!

Like cigars and Scotch... beer is a luxury. You don't need it, and it's not particularly good for you. So, if you're going to drink it, at least spend the money for one you enjoy! I'd rather spend my $16 for one 25 oz. bottle of Abt.12, than a case of Budweiser rice malt product.

I only disagree with one thing...beer is a necessity. Oh and I keep Coor's light or something equivalent in my house, what can I tell ya.

and last but not least, the one that I will probably get crucified for by any ozzies on this site......I am a sucker for ice cold VB from a can only, not bottles, on really hot days........in Australia VB has a pretty bad reputation.......VB cans are what I normally take camping as well because they are lighter that glass stubbies (bottles), and crush down for easy disposal...
