Yuengling Black & Tan is a fantastic beer my good man! Guess you are on the East Coast. Yuengling is one of the things I miss most about living in PA. Can't get that stuff out here in Cali.
I'm a lady with good tastes, what can I say? My Aunt says the same as you though. She lives in Colorado and can't get it out there either (kind of depressin'), but I guess the reverse is, I can only have Coors Extra Gold when I go to see her or my grandparents because they don't ship it out anymore!
My favorite beer is a local micro IPA from Black Raven called Trickster. It's a clear, clean, bitter IPA. Not sweet or too alcoholic like some IPAs (it's about 6.8%). Awesome stuff. Unfortunately they don't bottle it, so visit Seattle or Redmond.
I saw this at a grocery store today but didn't buy it... I'm kind of regretting it now.
You should. This beer is so goddamn good it's retarded.
Stoked to hear about some homebrewers here. The keg we just kicked was a Kate The Great clone, which is an imperial stout treated with port-soaked oak cubes and let sit for 8 months. Came out at about 14% and was drinking pretty rad. Super viscous mouthfeel and left the tulip glass with brown syrup-like lacing.
This thread is awesome. If any of you craftbeer nerds are interested, I Instagram almost exclusively about beer.

Since last week defenitely Birra Nursia is my favourite beer. Very good beer, brewed by the Benedictin monks in Norcia (IT) Superbub! Too bad you can only buy it in Norcia at the shop of the monastery or the local bars and restaurants. They just opened their brewery and do not have jet the possibility to expand. It's a little bit expensive but by buying their beer you are doing something good, helping them with their charity work. btw. they are one of the two italian monasteries, which do only offer The Latin Mass.
I would like to recommend the Oppigårds Brewery from Sweden. They offer a couple of different types of beer and is definitely something to try out for the beer fan who likes a beer that really tastes a lot and with unique flavour. (I know it at least was possible to order this beer from abroad) Here's a review of one of their beers: Youtube Review Oppigårds has won plenty of beer competitions and all of their different types of beers are extraordinary. I'm sure someone has mentioned it already but there's something we say here in Europe about american beer and it goes like this:
What's the similarity between American beer and making love in a canoe? Both are fucking close to water
This beer is the complete opposite of both of those things.
For our American readers, I strongly recommend Leinenkugel's winter seasonal Snowdrift Vanilla Porter.
Very dark and thick, but not overwhelming hop flavor, and a lot of coffee and cocoa notes underneath. Excellent beer to drink for taste with a meal or a sporting event.
always been a fan of the yuengling lagers. im only 19, but its SO much better than the lite beers that I typically see. PS. does this thread tend to get a lot of the drunk thread posters?
Argh this thread makes me so jealous. Since leaving London there's nowhere to get my fix of imported beer.
I miss the full on flavor combinations that I've only encountered in American microbrews and some of the Belgian Doubles / Triples. Since I started drinking those, everything else just tastes so watery and weak.
Oh how I long for the heavy textures, low-mild carbonation, citrus aroma into sweet - bitter finish of those american IPAs. Or the malty, dark fruit, roasty goodness of Imperial Stouts. Or the heavy, refreshing sweetness of the Belgian beers.
If anyone knows how to get these in the UK please let me know (well more the USA stuff, Belgian beer is relatively easy to get). On the plus side have saved a crapton of money since they go for about £10 a bottle.
Has anyone tried Old Rasputin before? They used to sell it at my local Food Lion but decided to get rid of it before I had the chance to buy it. Worth it?
There are so many good beers in Germany that i cant really chose a favourite. Schoenramer is a local beer which I really enjoy it also received alot of prizes.
I also enjoy the Weltenburger beer which is one of the oldest still existing beers in the world (since 1050) The Winter Edition is especially delicious.
In addition to the bavarian beers I also like the pilsner beers from the north. I also like Czech beers and sometimes guiness/Kilkenny.

All of Leinenkugel's stuff is amazing. As a Wisconsin Native, the Honey Weiss is one of my go-tos.
I am proud to report that I have recently acquired the beerguide to middle franconia, with all breweries, and all beers brewed here. The day before yesterday, I visited the first one, and I plan to add a lot more in 2013.

One of my favorite RIS. Has a nice chocolate and coffee aroma to it.
