Victory Brewing has a pretty good imperial stout as well. Milk Stouts aren't quite as bitter but Left Hand's Nitro Milk Stout is also awesome. Also look into porters and scotch ales. Might help you identify what flavors you're really enjoying.

Rouge was my second not completely mainstreamed craft beer when I was like 22 that started me on my multi year craft beer adventure. I haven't had it since I was 22 because it's usually over $12 a 6 pack and it's not that great. Most of their other stuff seems like overpriced memeing. I'm a drunk so I like beers over 8% about. I'm not that far from lagunitas so I drink a lot of their stuff. I mostly like strong ales, I drink IPAs because they're everywhere but I like stouts and other strong ales better.

I have to agree, for what you pay with rogue you don't get much. Dead guy and a few others are good but they try too hard to make gimmicky beers now. It's a little sad.

Lagunitas has some really good stuff.

Hoegaarden isn't anything special, but god damn, now that it's 90 degrees out every day and 100% humidity I could rally go for one, especially in one of those glasses that's been chilled, and maybe even with a splash of freshly made lemonade thrown in.

We don't have much here, but pic related is my favorite.

Anything you get outside of a liquor store here is 3.2% ABV, which works fine for me. Amber Bock is just the smoothest and best tasting for me. Granted, I grew up on Coors and Heineken.

Exactly. I think it's a combination of regional pride and a hipster thing that began with people ironically making a big deal out of shitty beers like PBR and Red Stripe. (It might have began earlier but those were the hipster beers back in the early aughts when I started college.)

When you reach perfection, don't fuck with it.

There's a reason I can drink whatever the trend-of-the-month is from American craft brewers, appreciate it, and move on to the next, never feeling the need to revisit, but I will always come back, again and again, to my favorite Czech and German beers, and never feel like I'm missing out.

Damn, I did a New England road trip a few years ago, visiting a bunch of breweries along the way.

The plans got changed and we ended up going to Montreal for a few days instead of spending any time in Vermont. We drove back through Vermont but didn't have time to really go anywhere out of the way and Alchemist was the only brewery that we would have been able to stop at. Instead we did the retarded Ben and Jerry's tour and went to some random farm (it was kind of cool because it was the picturesque Vermont you see in postcards or The Trouble with Harry) and tried fresh milk for the first time (even though I hadn't drank milk in probably a decade, and didn't really like ice cream either), but at least I got a cool glass milk jug.

I've drank a lot, but Westmalle's Dubbel, as the beer that got me into beer drinking always holds a special place in my heart. Gulden Draak or Tripel Karmeliet are probably my favorite Belgians after that.

Yuengling or Sam Adams for cheaper stuff.
Shock Top's Pretzel Wheat was surprisingly good to me for a novelty beer. Southern Tier does a lot of those too but every flavor is just WAY too damn sweet.
Leinenkugels aren't really good, but the Lemon and Cranberry/Ginger Shandies were surprisingly nice.
Hitachino Nest was a big surprise since most Japanese beers are garbage. Stick to the white or red though, Anbai sucks.
Honestly I don't even remember half of these, but I've only ever spit out one beer in my life (At a brewfest).
I keep saying i'll make a display board or magnets or something out of them, but eh. Someday.

Got a few more in my fridge not in there yet, Rodenbach classic, (actually drank it, didn't care for it), La Divine Double Blonde, Sam Smith Organic Lager, and Schneider Weisse Tap 6.

Alaska has a surprisingly good selection if you know where to look (And our breweries are good), but there remain things I'll likely never find up here, like Fuller's.

I get what you mean about people talking about "finding themselves" after taking a vacation, but this wasn't some weekend retreat, but rather a solid month and a half of meditation with some hardcore Catholic monks. You cant exactly be in that environment and not learn about the religion, or get some respect for those guys.

I will agree that my pic is the best way. But I simply cannot always do that. I crave beer. So rather then drop 10 - 15 for a strong 4 pack, pay 50% less for a more mild 6 / 12 pack and then pay for a handle vodka. I pay far less then a fancy beer but it tastes just as strong while still feeling a bit like beer. Plus I have plenty of vodka for the next drinking session.

It is a niche. But it works for me.
