Why would you ever start with a stout? Guinness is fine because it doesn't taste like anything, but SS oatmeal a starter beer? No.

Duvel might be my all time favorite, kind of like Hoegaarden+

first off, you need a GOOD beer to give you an idea of what beer is.
>tripel karmeliet
just do the one time $$$ sink, get a couple mailed to you. i promise youll enjoy it and it sby far the best beer ive ever had. a good starting point for identifying good characteristics.

after that, yeungling is buttholes if its not what youre craving but its all you have. yuengling kills the man.
natty ice is party beer, stay away

>coors light
good

the extra stout guiness...no, just go standard. the extra you dont need.

blue moon is a food beer. drink with orange.

where are you geographically? if youre in virginia, i got you on some local beers, but i dont wanna waste my breath yet

>Guiness Extra Stout
No.

If you want a stout on your list, I'd go Young's Double Chocolate.

Recently I have been immensely enjoying Slavutych (ukranian beer, if you can find it). Regular Guiness is solid and sold everywhere, as well as Harp, and Kilkenny.

If you can get it, Granville Island makes a variety of great beers.

Crabbies makes a few flavours of great ginger beers.

They must really hate you.

Get Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Also get a Red Hook ESB. If you can find it, a Pyramid Hefeweizen.

Shock top
Dogfish head
Shipyard waterfront ale

IS Samuel Adams' seasonal beer any good? I'm restricted to buying from liquor stores and grocery stores

If they don't have pale ale, should I get sierra Nevada Tumbler Autumn Brown?

[Anonymous No.6080434]

Young's Double Chocolate Stout.

Most of the beer on that list is shit OP. I mean really, fucking Coor's light?

[Anonymous No.6080556]

Tumbler isn't offered as a separate offering anymore I don't think.

Slow down there Mr beeradvocate.

Sam Adams gets a surprising amount of respect on beer advocate, probably because of their historical role in American craft beer.

That was my second beer, hated it.

>>6079846
I remember when I first had that I hated it, it's not a beginners belgian beer. I'd start with duvel for the belgian yeasty flavour
