Favorite Brew

This is an impossible question to answer. It's like asking what's my favourite finger, or what's your favourite ear.

I will take this opportunity to sing the praise of a beer I miss. Creemore Springs Lager in Ontario is an excellent, traditional Pilsner. I've access to wonderful beers from the Lower Mainland, Pacific Northwest and around the world. I can enjoy a Guinness any day of the week, but I can't get a Creemore.

Anything with water, hops, grain and yeast. . I really enjoy the Sierra Nevada, Ovila brews or North Coast Brother Thelonious Belgian Ale.

So many yummy brews, xman has is correct.

Hooked on Oregan brews as of late. Deschute Black Butte Porter, Rogue has 2 incredible Chocolate Stouts. Local Arizona brewery, Four Peaks Oatmeal Stout and Kilt lifter are on my stable. Boddingtons Ale or Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale for those light days.

Recently tried Blue Moons Blackberry Tart Ale... very tasty, tart and no over powering berry taste. Most the time the fruit brews are to much for me, good for one, second is usually a fail.

Niles pick of Rail Bender Scottish Ale is a good one, love it!
Gonna give Sydnie7's suggestion a go. The Green Flash Double Porter Black Ale sounds like a winner.

On a recent, quick trip to Portland I treated myself to several bottles from the "made in Oregon" store at the airport. Noted a few names for future ref, including Rogue's Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout, So. OR Brewing's Black Henry Imperial Stout, and Oatis Oatmeal Stout from Ninkasi Brewing. Oddly (and happily) enough, our local little BBQ joint has the Deschute Black Butte Porter on tap! So I've enjoyed a few pints of that lately, very nice.

But I fear that Boddie's is in the ranks with Corona. . . rank beer. . . although to be fair I've only ever tried the "pub can" version.

Another poster mentioned Hobgoblin, happy memories of my first taste whilst in the oldest pub in Wales and I still have the wonderful pasteboard coaster for it.

As another person said, so many beers, so little time!
