Name three beers worth trying.

i <3 the bud light. Of course they all taste good after 5 or 6

Since it's in season, this is one of my favorite summer beers.

Bell's Oberon

I'm also a fan of Harp's Lager. Cheers!

Ray,

I also like Negro Modelo and the Modelo Especial (much lighter, very good for those of us who drink the pale stuff).

On tap in all the local bars I drink Stella or Sierra, they all have one or the other, very good beers both.

I like Steel Rail Pale Ale from Berkshire Brewing Company out of Deerfield, MA. Very fruity, good and strong.

Domestics I drink Bud or Coors.

If you like the Belgian stuff try Ommegang out of Cooperstown NY, more of a barley wine than a beer if you want to be picky about it. Not for everyone but I dig it.

Also like Moretti Light and Dark.

Since no one mentioned my favorite beer, I must. Optimator by Spaten Brewery (Munich). It's a dopplebock, which is a heavy malty lager--my favorite style, Spaten being my favorite one.

Next has to be Pilsner Urquell from Pilsen. The original pilsner beer, which bares no resemblance to american pilsners. Great hops flavor, but not hoppy.

Third. Hmmmmm... There are so many great ones. May depend more on my mood than anything else. Guiness of course. A good Weizenbier perhaps, or even a weizenbock. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a good hoppy one. Even Fullers ESB derserves mention. So many great beers and not enough time.

Of course you've got your Guinness, but you really should try Boddington's Pub Ale and if you like stout beers, Young's Double Chocolate.

I have to say Adnams is everything that is wrong with southern beer, warm and flat. The Broadside is the best of a bad bunch.

When down south (like now) I drink lager in general.

For Pete sakes man get some Greene King Abbots inside you. Or the previously recommended Fullers ESB.

Warm and flat is how it should be.

What are u lot on. First proper beer I had was superb quality Stones bitter in Manchester.

[chezlaw]

I've seen some pretty wierd stuff on this board but Fuller ESB and Stella Artois on the same list!

Beer, Stella and ESB go together much like Poker, Me and Ray Zee.

Bloody hell you've made me wax lyrical. I'm off down the pub to recover.

I'll go along with Pilsner Urquell thought it's been mentioned a few times already.

Delerium Tremens is excelent and very strong (as are most non-white Belgians). BTW I could name about 20 other Belgian trppels abbeys and dubbels I have loved but I'll restrain myself from going into a Belgian lovefest.

The third one for me is a tie between about 20 different beers for me, depending on what you like here are some suggestions

Alaskan Amber - Good for people who like sweet beer of Medium darkness

Fat Tire - Good for people who like light lagers

Mirror Pond Pale Ale - For those who like hoppier beers

Paulaner - Good but often overpriced

LaTrappe Quad - Used to be my favorite beer, the monastery has since sold their brewing operations and name to a macro brewer, I haven't tried it since and don't even know if they still make the Quad.
