New Castle and Guinness.

My real favorite is hard to get outside of New Mexico, Sierra Blanca Brown Ale. I have a traveling friend bring some to town for us every couple months.
When we go out, Guinness or Newcastle.

Millstream Schild Brau Lager from the Amana Colonies in Iowa, or Belhaven Scottish Ale, but I do also prefer dopplebocks such as Spaten Optimator...

Decisions, decisions...

Guinness, Smithwick's, Harp, Bass, Newcastle, & Belhaven are ongoing favorites, but a recent discovery is my current craving: Dogfish Head IPA

The darker the better

I also like just about anything from local brewers Boundary Bay, in particular their Scotch Ale (the official beer of our local games), Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout, & of course the old stand-by: Guinness

I do miss our (now defunct) local Orchard Street Brewery (not to be confused with a brewery by the same name back east). I worked for them in the early 90's, and after work would enjoy a pint or two of the Porter. Myself & another co-worker would first add a shot of espresso, then fill the rest of the way with the Porter. The two complimented each other nicely.

I don't usually go for pale ales, but I recently discovered at Trader Joe's an imported Organic Pale Ale called "Great Scot" thats brewed by the Caledonian Brewery in Edinburgh. Its actually quite refreshing on a hot summer day!
