My favorite beers are mostly from local breweries so you probably wouldn't be able to get it. Lost Coast Harvest Wheat, Tangerine Wheat, Downtown Brown, and Great White are all good if you live in the California/Oregon area, and I strongly recommend the Eel River Blonde if you can find it. I don't know how wide spread Eye of the Hawk is but lately it is my favorite. It has a really strong taste so I wouldn't recommend it if you don't normally drink beer. They are all a million times better on tap of course, but as far as bottles go the Tangerine Wheat usually tastes the best bottled for some reason. I also really like Shock Top out of the bottle, and Fat Tire and Blue Moon are pretty good. Personally I don't care for Coors or anything in a can, and I've had Heineken before but since I've developed my taste I wouldn't drink it anymore. My preference depends on what I'm eating with it and the time of day and everything, like lighter beers are better on hot days or with spicy food. Tasting new beers is a lot of fun, and there's always something new to try no matter where I am.

Some friends and I get a case of this every week and watch GSL games on my bigscreen and yell. It does the job marvelously.

Grolsch, at least here in NL. Back in Germany, it's Krombacher. Kinda spicy.

It's strange how people sell "imported beer" when that brand that's supposedly "imported" doesn't even exist where the beer is supposedly from. There's no 'Amsterdam' beer in Amsterdam (there is, however, 'Amstel' beer, pretty awful if you ask me)... Did I write a reply in this thread before? I can't remember... then again, I'm kinda drunk right now. Grolsch. :D

Good grief... favourite beer, that's a tough one.

I guess it depends on the pub, but I tend to favour British real ales from smaller breweries when I'm out drinking - so much character, and loads of entertainment to be had trying them out. If I'm at home, something like Fuller's London Pride or Wychwood Hobgoblin is just about spot on. That said, on a scorching hot day, some of the continental European lagers (especially those from Germany or the Czech Republic) are just wonderful. Guinness** also goes down very well, although that's entirely dependant on finding a pub that can actually handle the stuff correctly - get Guinness wrong and it's absolutely repellant, get it right and it's pure silk in a glass.

Something I would to see over here is some of the more interesting American beers. All we get is "sex in a canoe"* rubbish like Bud, and I can't help but think we're missing out on the good stuff.

* ie. F*cking close to water.
** Which shouldn't be allowed in cans, ever. It mings. It's vile.

Don't really have a 'favourite' beer, but these are an approximate personal top 5:

1. Asahi Super-Dry
2. Sleeman Honey Brown
3. Konig Ludwig Weissbier
4. Marca Bavaria
5. Grolsch Original

I could think of at least 20 more-than-pleasant beers, but for now these 5 should keep anyone more than busy if you hadn't had them before. Cheers!

Stay away from the dark variants, they are devoid of Khala's light.
