Best beer

Guiness stout and Heineken satisfy me still ;-)

Estrella Galicia "Red Vintage" ("La Colorada").

I'm a Sam Adams fan and also agree they are somewhat underrated. That being said, as of late I've been enjoying Leffe Brune. It's a bit sweeter than what I normally like but is just delicious.

One of my favorite stouts is Keegan's Mother's Milk. Smooth,rich, & creamy.

For me, with rare exception, the only beers that matters are India Pale Ales.

One beyond excellent examples are Russian River's Pliny The Elder. I would also include Elysians's Space Dust and Deschutes Fresh Squeezed on my personal short list.

As an aside, I recently learned that Elysian's master brewer is going out on his own. This is great news indeed, now that Elysian has been gobbled up by Anheuser-Busch. Elysian still maintains, however, that "corporate beer still sucks." Right.
