Favorite beer?

Asahi is ok. I'd take Kirin or Sapporo if you're going Japanese beer. Think Asahi is the biggest though.
Boulevard Pale Ale - their original. It’s a tragedy that I had to be the first one to mention it.
That was my gateway to craft beer. From there moved on to IPAs. Haven't had one in forever.
For everyday beer it has been Coors Banquet Beer ever since I was 14 years old and was hidden in the back corner of a teeny tiny joint in North Central Kansas by upper classmen. I was in New Jersy last week, so I got to drink Yuengling Traditional Lager. My two brothers-in-law turned me on to Yuengling years ago on what used to be our annual beach week at the Outerbanks. We don't get Yuengling out West. I think they make pretty good beer.
Too many really good craft beers here in the Northwest. Yakima, Washington is definitely the capitol of hop growing in the US. Over 70% of American produced hops come from there. Two of my favorite breweries are Bayern Brewery in Missoula, MT and Terminal Gravity Brewing based in tiny Enterprise, Oregon. Deschutes Brewery, Bend, Oregon and Kulshan Brewery, Bellingham, WA also put out consistently good quality beer.
I haven't been in BC for years even though it is less than 3 hours away, but they make some really great beer up there too.

Not to mention lots of great hard ciders. Besides hops, Yakima is the home of Tieton Cider Works, which is one of my favorite hard cider brands. I enjoyed a flight of hard cider at their cider bar a few years back.
I used to like Pete’s Wicked Ale, but don’t see that anymore.
So many good brews but of the common names I like Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams, Dos Equis, Heineken, Bass, all the Stone beers, Corona, Becks, Stella

My go-to at the Side Door Bar during Winter games.Try a nice cold Grain Belt Premium or Nordeast..
Otherwise just about any Bock. Zieganbock, Amber Bock and Shiner Bock to name just a few. All time favorite was Watneys Red, but that disappeared years ago, and partial to other ambers and reds, but not ones with a heavy caramel aftertaste. Scratchtown Smoketoberfest is excellent. Copper Alt is always a good fallback.
Everyday drink... Miller Lite (lower carbs)
Weekend Go-To... Zieganbock
Favorites however go to Authentic German brews.... I LOVE me a good German beer of any type!

This is a great, strong IPA.
Six pack of this and I’m good..
I really enjoy a Bells 2 Hearted. Even if it is from Michigan.
What do American beer and making love in a canoe have in common?
They’re both ****ing close to water.
Any beer will suffice for 99.9% of my drinking needs — almost any beer. Socializing with friends and getting a buzz. Watching CFB and getting a buzz.
The exception is Schlitz. Cold beer is good. Free beer is better. Cold & free beer is great! I tried Schlitz a couple times and that is the only beer I would never drink even if cold, free, and wrapped in $100 bills as a coozie.

Just spent a month in Czech Republic now those people know beer
Yep they also are very particular on how the beer is poured they think a beer with no head goes stale must say they are correct
WTF is Sam Adams Obtoberfeat doing on the gawd damn shelf already? Seriously?
...i got some.
...i got some.
I went through the heavy craft beer stage like anybody else, but lately I’ve been all Blue Moon Light Sky. A million times more flavorful than the common piss water light beers, and is not filling. The best thing about them though for me is I can drink 8 of them and wake up the next day feeling like I had nothing but water. I cannot say that for any other beer.
Pumpkin beers have hit the shelves as well. I get that the fall seasonal beers are popular, but it’s early august. Does anyone actually drink them when it’s 90 out?
I don't.
I like the sam adams oktoberfest...zero pumpkin i can taste..its just a yummy beer. I'd drink it year round if it was available.
Hard pass on pumpkin or christmas spice (nutmeg,, cinnamon, etc) beer. Gawd those are awful.
Hell no. I like them, but have to have that chill in the air for them to taste good.
Agree with this. Theyre not my favorite but a couple in the fall when the leaves are falling makes for a nice pairing. I’m with litespeed in that I prefer an Oktoberfest, but i like some variety and again, not in the heat. Who is consuming this stuff this early? It’s beer equivalent of decorating for Christmas before Halloween.
You need to hit Sam’s Club & buy the huge 48 bottle boxes of Octoberfest. I bought 5 or 6 of those last year, made it to Spring but I was trying to ration them.
If you like Oktoberfest, seek out the Ayinger Oktoberfest. Best one I’ve found.
Try the Festbier from Tucher. It's real good. Their Hefeweizen is great as well.
