Ambergeddon by Ale Asylum. Made in Madison, Wisconsin. Trihonda had it at his awesome MTTD meetup last year. I buy a case or two whenever I'm going through Madison!
Your Beer of Choice? (6 Viewers)

This is my beer of choice... I don't know if it's my favorite (although it's definitely among them!) since some beers I love are either just seasonal, or one-offs, or impossible to get which make them impossible to call 'of choice'... The THA is local but can be found pretty much anywhere... Great balance of hop/malt imo... Not supper heavy so I can drink a bunch... Just a GREAT beer imo...

I agree. This and Founders Red Rye are some of my favorite. I can get both beers on tap at Maiz and Red Rock. Both have great Happy Hours that run M-S from 3-6. At Maiz I can get a 25 ounce Two Hearted Ale for 3 bucks..............can't beat that shit.
My favorite beer is cold. After that, my range is very wide.

I like lots of different types of beers, and usually change my beers with the season (Stouts in the winter, wheat beers in the summer, etc.) Fortunately, here in CO we have so many great microbrews to choose from. For the most part, I don't drink too many mass-produced beers, but Heineken & Heiny Dark are still among my favorites.

I have a hard time picking a favorite, but Ale Asylum's Sticky McDoogle scotch ale is near the top of the list. I'm trying to find one of those beer can helmets so I can modify it to hold 2 growlers of this stuff.

I'm a big fan of the IPAs.
The Jaipur is my favourite of the supermarket available beers.
Otherwise the best beer I've had is The Kernel Double Citra IPA.

Any Porter / Stout beers. Founders Breakfast Stout is very tasty. Dragon's Milk is also very good.

I like Pale Ales. I want a beer that reaches in, grabs my tongue, pulls it out and slaps it around waking up the taste buds!
Life is too short to drink "light" beer.
Like Jeff, I love Ambergeddon from Ale Asylum. I also like the American Pale Ale from the Great Dane Brewing Co. here in Madison.
Capitol Brewing has some new flavors, and my newest favorite is their Ghost Ship IPA, which is described as a "wheat ale with coriander and citrus peel."
Otherwise, my #1 is Leinie's Oktoberfest!

I'm an Oktoberfest kinda guy myself, and Sam Adams is one of the best. I love the Boston lager too. For IPA, I love flying dog raging b!tch. Not a huge fan of wheat beers. My beer fridge always has some flying dog, Sam Adams, 2 additional IPAs of some sort, and whatever else looks good. Honestly, I haven't really found a beer that I can't stand.
Oh, as I learned in college; the best beer in the world is free beer!!!!!

Don't forget, I'm bringing down a couple cases to the WCB in July... However, if you make the MTTD in May, I'll have plenty on hand for you!
I'm a hop head and drink about 95% IPAs along with some pale ales, stouts, black IPAs and porters mainly.
This is my 3-sided tap handle on my kegerator that's in the garage by the poker table.
A few of my current favorites besides Double Trouble are: Foothills Jade IPA (picked up 2 bombers tonight and going to order a half barrel soon, stuff is awesome), Bell's Two Hearted Ale, Racer 5, Olde Hickory Sam's Wake Up Bitter (Coffee IPA), Founders Centennial and
Waiting to see if I can score some Bell's Hopslam this year. Unfortunately for me Hopslam's like the football that Lucy takes away from Charlie Brown at the last second.....just when I think this is the year.

Deschutes Black Butte Porter but I drink a metric ton of Miller High Life in a calendar year.
Well, ol' Charlie Brown finally kicked that football.
After years of trying to get some, I scored not 1, but 2 six packs of Hopslam today!
Just got plain lucky this time. Went to total wine at lunch and overhead the clerk say they had hopslam. They were not advertising it and were doing the typical line up saturday and if you get lucky after standing in line for hours, you might get a six pack. I just asked and they pulled out a sixer near the counter.
Then my co-worker called around and found some at another shop. They gave out tickets at 5pm and you picked it up at 6pm, which was perfect to have a pint while we waited.
Health screening tomorrow at work so I can't have anything but water after 11:20pm tonight. I'll have one tonight around ten while watching Better Call Saul. I'm pumped.

We like the Bell's Two-Hearted Ale, fine, but prefer the Amber. Tonight we were drinking the Amber and a few Lagunitas Censored Reds along with bbq ribs with a Memphis-style sauce -- a match made in heaven.
I've had a few black IPAs, and generally prefer them to the hop-dominated monsters so popular these days...
Oh, and we guzzled one of the monster (three quart?) bottles of Anchor Brewing's 2011 Special (christmas) Ale, last weekend. It's held up really well. Dark and rich, with sweet notes, perfect to go with spicy food.

Haven't gotten to that one yet...still working my way through the brands at the Beer Store. I'll have to pick some up.
I'm not that much of a beer drinker, but I can't say no to a nice cold wheat beer. Especially to a Hofbräu Kristall Weisse in front of Hofbräuhaus Munich.
Ahh, miss that time ...
Na denn, Prost, dass d'Gurgl net verrost't!
Sry but my Bavarian isn't that good.

Depends what kind of night it is.
Do I want to be able to maintain my drunkeness throughout a night? Coors Light
Do I want the cheapest beer available at the bar to get drunk? $1 PBRs at a local pub
Do I want to casually sip a beer with dinner? Depends on the season.....Summer: Leinenkugel, Sam Summer, Corona. Fall: Pumpkin Head, Octoberfest, Harpoon Pumpkin Winter: Sam Winter, Guinness Spring: Cold Snap, Blue Moon. (Yes I'm from Boston and enjoy all the Sam Adams)
Christmas morning: UFO Gingerland
I have yet to explore too heavily into the craft beer world.
