There must be a few people here who drink something a cut above PBR, no?

What beers are you currently enjoying?

I'm really digging this:


And after a stop at their brewery in Cooperstown, NY, i'm enjoying the mix pack from Ommegang. Especially love the Ommegang Ale.

Right now, I'm a Post Road Pumpkin Ale Girl.  I also really love the 250th Anniversary Guinness.  Tasty.

Don't believe people when they tell you that the Southern Tier Creme Brulee Stout is good.

I have not had a bad beer yet from Laguinitas.  Anyone else collecting the Frank Zappa brews they make?

3 of my favorites, along with Stone Ruination.  I have been drinking the Dogfish Punkins like water lately.  My go-to recently has been Sierra Nevada Anniversary, mainly b/c of the price.   Also, I always have some of these stouts in the fridge:

Commonwealth in Columbia Heights has a great cask ale that I drink. It's hands down my favorite beer.

i was at RFD's last night before the AC/DC show, had the Lagunatas A Little Sumpin' Extra! Ale on tap.  mild wheat + perfect hops + hint of pine = DELISH.  http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/220/52077

yup, downed 3 of these babies after work at the Big Hunt yesterday - good stuff

does nothing special for me, it's a light summer-time beer IMO.  tastes better in italy, because everything tastes better there.

i'm a big fan of wheat beers so i was excited when i heard about this… but it gets a "meh".  a little too sweet.
