Erik S. Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 But I tried New Belgium's Ranger IPA and every sip is a mouthful of hoppy goodness! Clean finish despite all the hops.....not bitter......HOPPY like it should be. Reds and Lagers will remain some of my favorites. SHARE YOUR FAVORITE BEER OR IPA! If you only like local stuff, indicate whether it is sold in stores so we can all try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only like local stuff, indicate whether it is sold in stores so we can all try it! Victory "Hop Devil". The name describes the taste. Victory brewery is in PA. Also Great Lakes "Burning River" IPA. Not sure where the brewery is located, probably Western NY. Our local tavern keeps a case on hand. Only a couple of the patrons (including me) drink it and last Friday evening the owner told me: " . . .out of this stuff until Monday, you'll have to come back". Oh, I'll be back.

D.Hayden Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 The more local the beer the better for me We have 2 good local micro brewery's: http://www.bozemanbrewing.com/bozoneBeer.htm Amber is very good, but they only sell in kegs http://www.madisonriverbrewing.com/Beers.aspx The Copper John Scotch Ale and Hopper Pale Ale are both very good - they have it at our CostCo, but I doubt they distribute very far In Missoula: http://www.bigskybrew.com/Our_Beers Shipped all over More national, I've always liked http://www.alaskanbeer.com/amber.html Really - there are just so many good beers out there..

Erik S. Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 We have a local brewery in my town that makes pretty good beer (High Desert Brewery), but about 2hrs away in a neighboring town, they have a red lager that is some of the best beer I've ever tasted!! Most red lagers I've tried are lacking in the flavor department period, this one just has a perfect balance. The brewery is Socorro Springs Brewery in Socorro, NM and they just call it the "Red Lager". Seems like they usually have it on tap, so it must be popular. They don't bottle (to my knowledge), so you have to visit and drink it there or take a growler/keg home. Next time you're taking I-25 through New Mexico, stop and have one for lunch.....they serve food too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggorloader Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Huh! Finally something I know about Been to the New belgium Brewery many times as it's located 4 blocks from my brother's house in Fort Collins, CO. It's an ultra modern brewery. Interesting place as the owner is far into mountain biking and I have been to the (Pro) races held on the course which is on brewery property. They don't make a beer that is not to my liking and I highly suggest you go here to get more info on the many beers they do make. They even have a flavor wheel that describes the different beers attributes. If the other flavors are available go for it. http://www.newbelgium.com/beer.aspx As for local NYS beers that I quite like, Saranac tastes pretty damn good. Hard to believe it's (the old Matt's) brewery and made where they used to make Utica Club. http://www.saranac.com/ My favorite is the "Lake Effect Lager" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AR Gunner Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yuengling Traditional Lager. Best beer on the planet! Bad part is I can't get it where I live. Good stuff - sold in all the local grocery stores in Birmingham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
