Your favorite beer!
What would you like to have on tap? And who drinks when viewing this forum?

What I'd LIKE to have on tap and what my marriage can stand to have on tap are two completely different things. What I like is a very hoppy IPA - Stone, Harpoon, DFH, Long Trail IPA all fit the bill. What my wife will tolerate is Miller Lite (since one can get drunk very quickly on several pints of IPA). So, I keep the Lite on tap (the friends like it too) and keep the really good stuff in the bottles. Once in a great while, I splurge and **** of the better half and get a small keg of the good stuff!

My favorite beers are in my signature. And I drink when I read any forum.

Another reason I'm glad I home brew.

Currently I have miller lite. It was actually the cheapest keg they had at that level. Which is good since its my prefered light beer. Im thinking of getting the yuengling next. If I had the money I would like to have a small dogfish head 90 minute in my kegerator along with a easier drinking beer, because you cant drink too many of those before feeling it.

Pliny the Elder or Dreadnaught. Too bad it is absolutely impossible to get either one in Western PA.

I looked at a half of the 60 and it was $270.
I may do that soon though.

Somebody was trying to rip you off. A keg of 60 should certainly be under 2 bills. $180 - $195 generally.

Agreed. I can get a 1/2 barrel of 90 minute for $270. At $270, it would be cheaper to by 6 packs of 60 minute, at $10 a six pack.
There's no way I could pin down a favorite beer. I can't even pin down a favorite beer from any one style. I like a variety, depending on many things. My mood, the weather. I couldn't imagine drinking the same beer over and over and over and over. I don't think that's any different than eating the same food for every single meal. Luckily, my wife likes IPAs and APA's, so I usually have some sort of IPA/APA on draft. And then keep bottles of the heavy stuff around, too. I just ordered 8 bottles of The Abyss!
An interesting fact I recently heard, (and have no proof of) is that there are more varieties of beer than wine.

be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."

You are right Cubby
I'd hate to limit myself to one favorite. I do like most flavors of Abita Beer, a lot. The "worst beer" thread was more fun.

Way too many favorites. But I am disappointed that I cannot get Red Stripe on tap. I really do enjoy Red Stripe. I also need to get an S coupler so I can enjoy Stella, New Castle, and if I could find it, Becks Octoberfest. I would really love to have either the New Castle or Stella on tap. I'll get them in time.

Oh yeah....Red Stripe on tap would be great! For me it's more about memories than it being a really great beer. I think it's an OK beer but I've been to Jamaica a few times and got married on the beach there so as soon as I think about, see or taste a Red Stripe, I'm a happy guy.
In fact, here's a pic of a mural I had painted on the wall in my home office. I wanted it to feel like I was sitting on beach in Jamaica when I looked at the mural (while sitting in my office chair) and, of course, the artist painted an ice cold, Red Stripe sitting on a table just waiting for me.
Going back to Jamaica in two years to celebrate our 10 year anniversary.

Good story Hophead, 42 years for me and my lovely. I agree with C.S. about the same old over and over again. My favorite is Yuengling Lager (would like to have the Yuengling lite) but I understand it is not available in kegs, in our area anyway.
Drink while on this forum ? Having one now!

I would like to have Victory Hop Devil on tap. Also, on a recent trip I tried Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. That is high on my wish list too. My current choices of Miller Lite and Yuengling are closer to my price range though. Usually enjoy a frosty one while reading the forum. If it's not too early in the day of course

My favorite style of beer is IPA and my favorite IPA is Firestone Union Jack, which has won back to back golds at the Great American Beer Festival. But at 7.5% alcohol I haven't built up the courage to get a keg of it yet.

That's going to be my next keg. I agree that reading this thread gets the mouth watering, but I often read it at work so it's not possible to drink.
