Reggae, the liquor store behind Raley's at the "Y" in South Lake usually carries both Pliny and Blind Pig.. As far as I know, Freshies is the only place to get it on tap... CHEERS!!!

the snobby Beer Advocate gave it a B+ but I'm tellin ya! Two Week Notice is an old Scottish recipe for a herbed brew that is dynamite!.. this is not a beer you can usually find as it's hand made by Moonlight Brewing which is just one guy doing his brews. When you see it on tap drink it up as it's only around for a couple weeks at a time.

Inversion is good, but not my favorite. Maybe my tone deaf palette is keeping from really seeing what is special. Hands down I'll take Hop Stoopid or Stone IPA over Inversion. Deschutes Organic Ale is one of my favorites when I'm not looking for something a bit less "kick in teeth", and their Obsidian Stout is great if you can find a meal to pair it with (hint: no froo-froo tofu is going to do the trick), but that is rare enough that I don't stock it in the house.

Any decent home brewer cannot replicate almost anything. Actually though, I'd say IPA's are among the easier beers to brew.
Guiness...that's hard to copy.

Guinness is the Budweiser of Stouts. Damn near tastless. Might as well pour some brown food coloring in fizzy water and call it good.

I forgot how bland mass produced beers are, so I ordered a schooner of Miller Genuine Draft. Pretty disapointing.
Can't say this is the best beer, but I really, really like it.

Haven't found a Unibroue beer I don't like. This was last night's summit beer.

IMHO, the first 2 pages of this discussion are quite possibly the most worthless pages on the whole Tacostand, as you may as well have been debating which is a better fruit: apples, pears, peaches or... -gasp-... Tomatoes. Quite simply, per the BJCP (who cares about these things and spent an inordinate amount of time classifying and categorizing 'beer') La Maudite is a defining example of a Belgian Specialty Ale, while La Fin du Monde is a defining example of a Belgian Tripel, and several of the IPA's mentioned were defining examples of that style. Or toputt it another way, which is better: brownies or chocolate chip cookies? Both are baked goods, after all...
Now pardon me as I go back to my Victory Golden Monkey...

Do the brownies have hash in them?

Maudite is pretty good. I like Trois Pistoles better.
I like Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Wild Ale. 9.4 ABV and it's not $10.00 a four pack.
Out of the 4,000+ different beers that I have tried, I could probably put together a list of a couple hundred that I really like.

Some great beers coming out of small NW breweries, with bigger ones like Ninkasi and Deschutes doing great work too. Stone is one of my favorites, both the IPA and Ruination sell like hotcakes when we have it! Sorry Michelob......

I've never had a beer from Lagunitas that I did not like... and yeah Blitzo, that Little Sump'in Wild is pretty good! Ever try the Undercover Investigation Shutdown?

I didn't really care for the Undercover Investigation Shutdown, or the Wilco Tango Foxtrot.
Hop Stoopid is pretty good, a bit bitter at 102 IBUs. I like GnarlyWine, Lucky 13 and Brown Sugga
Try Left Coast Asylum and Hop Juice.
