Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale (not his Pale Ale, whatever you do). This is an expensive ale, quite tasty and unusual, and worth it on occasion. Best served quite chilled (as with all ales IMO).

If you like really strong thick dark stuff, almost syrupy (which I do), you might try McEwan's. I haven't had it in a long time, let's see: there's McEwan's Scotch Ale, McEwan's Edinburgh Ale, and another one.

Best way to chill ales: wait for a good snowfall and thrust the bottles into a snowbank outside your door or window. Reach for one as the spirit moves you.

Sam Smith Organic Lager is pretty hard to Beat.

I second the Tecate with breakfast as well. THAT is real Mexican beer.

Here is a link to a list of the 30 'best beers' of the world. Best Beers

I enjoy IPA by Redhook and Full Sail Ale. But there are many great beers to choose from.

In addition, Monks throughout Europe and in America brew great beer and brewing is a long established tradition at many monasteries. In fact, many years ago I had a wonderful dinner with friends in some restaurant along the San Antonio River Walk. I have unfortunately forgot the name of the establishment but they served a beer brewed by some local monks. It was indeed excellent.

Can't let this thread go by without putting in my 2 cents.

1. Mac & Jack's African Amber - You'll have to come to Washington for this one, they don't bottle it so it only comes on tap. They dry hop it in the keg itself, so it has a strong cascade hop bouquet.

2. Anything from the Rogue brewery in Oregon - they have some Imperials that will knock you on your ass.

3. Olympia in the stubbie bottle - hard to find, but a classic. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Singha(ok, its a malt liquor). Available at Noodles in Bellagio. Also prominently mentioned in Positively Fifth Street... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

For a "corporate" beer, Michelob's Amber Bock is pretty damn good, either draft or in the bottle. Gotta be really cold, tho.

Pacifico is the best Mexican beer, and by a long ways. Light, cool & refreshing. Don't you dare put a lime in it.

Shiner Bock -

It's a heck of a beer, but loaded with sugar so the Hangover is a bitch.

I was shocked to see that Pabst Blue Ribbon failed to make this list. What a joke.

My choices --

Full Sail Amber Ale (My personal favorite)
Dead Guy Ale
Black Butte Porter
