+1 to all goose island stuff. IPA, 312, Matilda, Pere Jacques, and green line pale ale are all fantastic.

+1 to beer advocate too, awesome site

Like Shiner Bock a lot, this sounds amazing.

Then they'd have a raspberry wheat.

But as an all-time long-lost favorite I choose a beer from a now (sadly) defunct brewery that was bought by Sam Adams. I don't think they brew it at all any more. Long Shot Hazel Nut. If anyone knows where or in what season I can get this PM me.

Yuengling (we just call it lager here in P.A) is usually a good default beer as well.

I live in Texas and I kinda view Shiner like I view Shock Top. Above average. Easy to drink 6. Not particularly enjoyable while I'm doing it though. I've only had the bock and blonde though. And I'll admit the bock being much better.

Hard to go wrong with any of Sierra Nevada beers for supermarket brands, especially the pale ale. Dogfishead IPA's are awesome.

This, was surprisingly pleased with it when I was last in Philly, pity I've never seen it exported

Founder's Kentucky Breakfast Stout (Regular Breakfast Stout is amazing as well)
Bell's Two Hearted Ale
Southern Tier Chokolat
Schlafly American IPA (Local brewery)
Founder's Porter

Yeah, IPAs and Stouts for me.

Favorite swill would be Milwaukee's Best Light (but honestly all the "light" beers are the same IMO).

duchess should be easily found, but its a sour and is a shock to the system if you're used to mostly lagers and other normal forms of beer

domaine du page is probably hard to find, not sure what two brothers' distribution is like

bruery should be findable

Fosters as we know it is not that common in Australia, I think I saw it a few times but no one drinks it. However, most of the major brews are made by the Fosters Brewing Company, and each of the states have their own major one. and VB is delicious

also light beers in australia have considerably lower ABVs

I spoke too soon. It's actually called Shiner Ruby Redbird. They use the ruby red grapefruits that are native to Texas, though. Pretty cool imo.

Is it true that Amstel in the U.S. has significantly lower alcohol content than the version sold in Europe?

Also love the Stone Arrogant Bastard and when I can get it the Sublimely Self Righteous is outstanding.

Also the Victory Hopdevil, Bells 2

Ale and Sam Adams Nobel Pils are the cases that I'll often purchase.
