What is your favorite beer?
If I'm looking for cheap, easy to guzzle, I'll go with Miller Lite.
My choice when it comes to "expensive" beer is Sam Adams Cream Stout.

I'm generic, I like a Corona with lime. Sam Adams also makes one called Hefeweizen that was pretty decent.

Hefeweizen is a style and not the name of a beer sir  But to answer the original question, i drink Boddingtons Pub Ale like it's water. |

What is your favorite beer? If I'm looking for cheap, easy to guzzle, I'll go with Miller Lite. My choice when it comes to "expensive" beer is Sam Adams Cream Stout. I love everything Sam Adams makes. But my beer of choice is Guiness. I prefer it straight from the tap, but if I'm drinking it at home, I like it in the draught cans, I've got a mug that will hold 3 cans, and that is a good way to end the day. I also love Black Cherries, that's a half guiness and half Sam Adams Cherry Wheat And... I love Steel Reserve. |

For those who like Guinness and attend Whitecaps games- on the concourse behind home plate, there's a brand new Guinness tap. Best of all, the beer lady has finally learned how to properly pour it.

Guinness is by far my beer of choice. And when in a pinch, Sam Adams the one. Others I'd like to give honorable mention: Newcastle, Bass, Honey Brown and Utica Club.

If I am going for cheap beer...PBR
If I am looking for a little more expensive, Heineken or Rolling Rock or Honey Brown or Oberon

Yes, Hefeweizen is a style of beer. I'm about as German as it is. But the Hefeweizen I was referencing is made by Sam Adams, so it would've been redundant to say "Sam Adams makes a Hefeweizen that they label as 'Sam Adams Hefeweizen'". But now I've had to go and explain it anyway, so any attempt to be concise has fallen by the wayside.

That's the best reason I've ever heard to go to a Whitecaps game. Pouring a Guiness does take a bit more skill than pouring your average beer. By the way, Flanagan's in GR is the best place to have a Guiness, and Beth is the best person to have pour it for you. |

One of my favorites is Oberon!! ;D  For those who aren't familiar with it, its from Bells Brewery in Kalamazoo Michigan. They make a bunch of other great beers as well but that's my favorite. It's only released during the summer, usually March - October or when they sell out of what they've brewed. I get excited on Oberon release day and mark it down on my calender. For some reason I don't feel well on that day and have to call in to work! |

My cheap standard is Mic Ultra. My favorite microbrew is probably Breckenridge Vanilla Porter.

My cheap standard is Mic Ultra. My favorite microbrew is probably Breckenridge Vanilla Porter. Vanilla Porter is very tasty. As far as a cheap beer it's PBR for me, hands down. $14 for a thirty pack? Awesome deal! |

I guess I'm a bit unoriginal, give me a BUD LIGHT and I'm happy, at least that way I know 99.999999999% of the bars I end up going to will have it.  |

When I find a place with it on tap, such as The Curragh in Holland, I make sure to make repeat visits. |

Do you get the big cans with the floating widgets? If i can't make it to a bar that has it on tap, hell yes i do. Yes, Hefeweizen is a style of beer. I'm about as German as it is. But the Hefeweizen I was referencing is made by Sam Adams, so it would've been redundant to say "Sam Adams makes a Hefeweizen that they label as 'Sam Adams Hefeweizen'". But now I've had to go and explain it anyway, so any attempt to be concise has fallen by the wayside. What about saying "Sam Adam's Hefe". I didn't entirely mean to throw you under the bus (okay i kinda did), but it was more to let the uninformed know that there are others out there, which are all superior. Sam is good, but they should leave Hefe's to the Paulaners, Schneider's, and Insert German Breweries Heres. Not a Hefe but a belgian wheat...EPIC FAIL! |

You know, as I was making the post, I was thinking back to a Hefe that I had at a local watering hole recently (and this one WAS really a Hefe), and I had second thoughts about Hoegaarten's classification. D'oh. |

I love being able to try something new each and every time I go. Their crack fries are addictive, too. Jesus H F'ing Christ on a Pogostick. That place is awesome. It's fantastic. Seeing as it's nearly always packed out whenever I'm there, I think it's safe to say that many others agree. |

Seeing as it's nearly always packed out whenever I'm there, I think it's safe to say that many others agree. It's usually not too bad during lunch on the week days, I've never not found an empty seat at the bar. But good crows, if you're there after 5pm on a Friday or Saturday, be prepared to sit next to people you don't know. Which of course is part of the charm of the place. Those long bench seats and tables bring people together. And yeah, there's a reason they call them crack fries. |
