What is your favorite craft beer?

3.0L · 07-31-2018, 06:14 PM

I just found a new one: "Kilt Lifter" brewed by Four Peaks. Good Scottish Ale.

TheHaze · 07-31-2018, 07:00 PM

I think Pirate Bomb! from Prairie Artisan Ales is a fantastic stout. For an easy to find beer, I like to go with Bell's Two Hearted Ale.

pz619 · 07-31-2018, 09:41 PM

Pliny the younger. For me, it exceeded the hype.

Ross61 · 07-31-2018, 09:53 PM

Stone IPA - the green label.

Though technically, like Kilt Lifter, not a "craft beer" by definition. More of a mass produced beer which isn't a lager (read: BudweiserCoorsMiller piss water).

Sea-Tac · 07-31-2018, 11:14 PM

Fort George Bourbon Barrel Cavatica Stout from Astoria, Oregon.

M_Six · 07-31-2018, 11:43 PM

Any IPA. The hoppier, the better. Closer to the mass produced stuff, I like Sam Adams Rebel IPA. I haven't tried their recently released New England IPA yet.

Red Bread · 08-01-2018, 12:28 AM

Pliny and Bell's Two Hearted. Both already mentioned but worth another vote.

aftercompletion · 08-01-2018, 12:53 AM

Either Pliny from Russian River, of course
Russian River Damnation
Boneyard RPM IPA
Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin IPA
Georgetown Brewing Bodhizava IPA

other_evolved · 08-01-2018, 11:23 AM

Boulevard Tank 7 is one that I constantly come back to.

upstatedoc · 08-01-2018, 11:46 AM

Two of my favs:

Captain Blood · 08-01-2018, 12:04 PM

Paulaner Salvator in the pint bottles
Franconia Octoberfest and Lager

AVOID:
The Kaiser Octoberfest. Tasty, but much stronger than you might think (1 pint gave me a 2 day hangover). I think it sat on a shelf for a long time.

E30M3Brill · 08-01-2018, 12:15 PM

Chatham Brewery(NY) - Mo's Citra, Night Shift (MA) - Morph (rotating series) and of course anything from Tree House (MA).

Juicy IPAs and PAs - all the way!

1MOREMOD · 08-01-2018, 12:18 PM

Russian river, stone, ninkasi, deschutes, pfriem, elysian, all make good stuff. But almost any ipa that isn't floral.

UncleWede · 08-01-2018, 12:40 PM

Schlitz Malt and Mickey's

EdM5 · 08-01-2018, 12:41 PM

anything from local brewery 't IJ

Ralph335 · 08-01-2018, 01:23 PM

Treehouse Green is one of my favorites but honestly anything Treehouse that I've tried has been fantastic.

miiipilot · 08-01-2018, 01:36 PM

My favorite, for the summer, has been Left Hand Peach Beerlini.
I am not a hop head at all, however I have enjoyed 2 fruit infused IPAs. Dogfish Head Flesh & Blood and Thirsty Dog Bloodhound orange IPA.

Matt@EuroJerks · 08-01-2018, 02:59 PM

Montauk Summer Ale. Goes down so smooth these days.

rdub315 · 08-01-2018, 03:34 PM

Lawson’s Finest - Sip of Sunshine
Foley Brothers - Pieces of 8

Also my favorite! Another that is very close (great IPA, not too resinous) is Smuttynose 'Finest Kind IPA'. Don't drink as much beer, but if I do it is one of these.

And had the house IPA at the C.I.A. downstate that was REALLY good (their other offerings at the time were more novelty than good tasting, to me).

KenB925 · 08-02-2018, 11:23 AM

Knee Deep is making some good beers. Hoptologist, and Breaking Bud have been on tap in may backyard recently.

Heard great things about Sip of Sunshine. Never had it though. Heard from a number of people that it is better than Heady Topper.
