OK, I'll have to finally jump in here. I don't want to sound like a drunk, but beer is my true addiction. Smittyboy, you live in Wisconsin, go try some New Glarus beers, they are only available in Wisconsin. For those of you who think you don't like beer, well, you probably haven't read this far anyway. There are beers out there for every taste, from coffee, clove, cherry, peach, apple, coconut, peanut, sweet, sour, bitter, oakey, and everything in between.
I have been a homebrewer for nearly 20 years. I have spent many days at beer festivals, including the Great American Beer Festival in Denver CO with 2052 beers available.
Some of my favorites:
Stone Smoked Porter
Stone Ruination
Oskar Blues Gordon
New Holland Dragons Milk
Chimay Grand Reserve
Cantillon St. Lamvinus
La Chouffe Houblon Chouffe
Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Mayflower Porter (Mayflower only available in MA right now)
Mayflower IPA
Weinstephaner
Dogfishhead 90 Minute IPA
Southern Tier Creme Brulee
Boulder Hazed and Infuzed
And of course, most of the beers I brew. Watermelon Wheat seems to be a favorite of my friends and family.
