I like it, preferably with a fox.

 

2 of my favorite places:

I prefer IPA's...and DIPA's.

[Brandon]

Bootleggers is pretty good.

 

I'm more of a Belgian, Strong Ale type, Sour type......even though sours are expensive.

I went to Eureka Burger in Claremont last night because they got in Pliny the Younger, but were doing only flights of that mixed with Russian River Consecration, Russian River Santification, and two others I don't remember. But they were out by the time I got there so I ordered the Russian Rivers and a regular Pliny.

Haven't been to The Bruery yet, but heard really good things.

I am not a beer connoisseur at all but I do like it.  I will drink most of what is put in front of me except for most Brown Ales.  Never got the taste for them.

Hard to pick an all-time favorite beer. Heady Topper is definitely my favorite IPA (DIPA's included). My favorite stout is either Ten Fidy or Firestone Walker Parabola.

 

As for my favorite brewery, out of the ones I have had Founders is up there. Lagunitas is great as well.

It's really good. Went there the weekend before last for the first time. Their O de Tart is one of my favorite beers.

 

Good place to drink......flights, growlers, pints. No food, but they have a food truck in front. Good selection and releases, as well.

 

We just created two flights to taste some of the ones we haven't tried yet.

 

It's not like Deschuttes or Stone, but just a simple place to drink quality beer.

[tdawg87]

Also for session beers I can't go wrong with Genessee Cream Ale.

I drink a lot of their beers because of the price and value. They have pretty good IPA's and seasonals/specials, but they sell for $5 when they pack a 8%-10% punch.

[tdawg87]

Yeah that's one thing I've noticed is how good their prices are. Their bombers are all around 5-6 bucks.

[hk47]

I enjoy Dos Equis and Corona.

[Brandon]

Yep, those are the ones.

[HaloCory22]

Can't go wrong with a perfectly poured Guinness. My absolute favorite. Anything dark I tend to like.

Tried something called Fireman's Brew the other week.  It was pretty good.  

[GuliblGuy]

The ship is pretty cool because they have a lot of hard to find UK beers on tap

And we played darts there sometimes, so I guess add playing darts to the list of things to do while drinking.

Mammoth Brewing Co. has some pretty good stuff. Too bad you have to go to Mammoth to get it. Dixie 's Blackened Voodoo Lager is my all time fav.

[Bruce Nye]

I attended the Bruery's Initiation in Anaheim (Phoenix Club) last Saturday.  Wow - people from all over the U.S. attended - more than 2,000.

 

Of the 60 or so beers featured there, my favorites were Back Tuesday (2011), Fruet and The Wanderer.

 

I was really impressed.  Terroific beers for anyone's taste.

There is beer, and there is beer.

If you can buy it at Ralphs, Ablertsons. or CircleK...it isn't beer.

I love beer.
