Oskar Blues, now also brewed in California!
Dale's is great, so is the Old Chub.
Ten-Fidy is over priced. I haven't tried Gordon's yet.

If you haven't tried a English cream ale, you haven't lived. Why you never see cream ales in the US I don't know, they have them at every pub in the UK.

There has always been Genesee and Little Kings Cream ales. I'm sure there are more brewed in America.

but it doesn't seem like they have the milky look and taste of the English brews.

I've known of Fat Tire but just never tried it.
I've never seen any of its siblings.
It is hot. How hot? Hot enough for a nice
cold one of these....

We drank a small keg of Left Hand Brewery's Juju Ginger Ale last week. It was a nice gingery light ale and refreshing in the hot weather. (hot for Seattle, but only warm for Cali)
I like the American cream ales that Blitzo mentioned but I haven't tried the English versions. How do they compare?

So, what was the verdict on your homebrew? Inquiring minds want to know.

The home brew turned out great! The first bottle of each was ok. We were thinking it tasted about the same as the average store swill at half the price. As they aged a few more weeks they just got better and better. I have a kolsh & porter to drink now, an IPA in a carboy, and am planning to cook up an imperial stout for next weekend.
I was at the Great American Beer fest in Denver years ago. For some reason everyone crowded the CO brewer booths for tastes and the east coast brewers were empty. I saw the Genesee guy looking bored in an empty booth, so I go running up "Genny Cream Ales" I shout. He grins back until I say "I used to drink these all the time in high school". He got a weird look not sure whether to approve of underage drinking, then we both laughed and toasted a few. Good stuff. Maybe I'll look into brewing a cream ale too.
Cheers

Been on a Belgian style kick as of late...
Unibroue La Fin du Monde is pretty tasty. Ditto their other brews as well.
Had a bottle of Anderson Valleys Brother Davids Triple Ale...yummy.
Stone IPA my current favorite "more than one in a sitting" beer...(bumping Sierra Nevada, good tip on the Torpedo, I'll look for that one).
Cheers,

Brian in SLC. Try Unibroue's Trois Pistoles, Maudite and Chambley. They're Canadian but they're like Belgian.
From Belgium, try Maredsous 10 and Maredsous 8. Also Corsendonk.
Good stuff!
Cheers!

How's it goin', eh? Dr. Piton here, back in the good ol' You Ess of eh? Bivi'd next to Buffalo Airport en route to Kaua'i and Hawai'i.
God Bless America! Where you can run to the grocery store at ten at night, and buy great beers. Even gas stations. You can't even do that in BC, can you, Anders?
So here I am, drinking some Yuengling Black & Tan. It's Merrica's oldest brewery, back to the 1820's in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, so named for the stomachs of its inhabitants.

That doesn't look like a black and tan.
A black and tan is the head, then black and the bottom layer is golden actually.
It really can't be bottled that way.
Yuengling makes some okay beer though.
