LOL. This is great. Now that I've had access to New Belgium beers for the last few years, I'm gonna have to go with a thumbs down. There is a certain taste that runs through all their beers and it just isn't appealing anymore. They all taste the same to an extent. Bah. At the time this thread was started, I'd have been on the Fat Tire bandwagon myself. Sometimes a little of something is much better than a lot of something, I guess.
That said, I have been on a huge beer kick lately, mostly looking for various IPA and DIPA beers as my current style du jour. Recent favorites include Three Floyds Dreadnaught, Bell's Two Hearted (an old favorite I can now get in IL again after a two year absence), Bell's Hopslam, Founder's Centennial, Great Divide Hercules Double IPA, Dog Fish Head 60 Minute and 90 Minute IPAs...so many hoppy beers to choose from (these are just midwestern breweries aside from a couple).
Dogfish head 60 minute is awesome, the 90 minute is fucking awesome and the 120 minute is so fucking awesome that I haven't even tried it yet...considering it's 12 dollars a bottle.
Victory is my favorite micro brew though.
I'm not often in the mood for ultra-hoppy IPAs and the like, but they're good for some things.
I buy mostly stouts and porters, as I couldn't afford Belgians most of the time.
Haven't been too impressed with Victory's offerings myself. I've tried Hop Devil and Hop Wallop. With Hop Devil, a supposed IPA, my question is: where are the fuckin' hops? Hop Wallop was not bad, but not hoppy enough to be a DIPA. I tried it in an IPA flight and it got walloped by everything else. I do remember really liking that Storm King Stout, though.
Guiness, DAB (even though not that good, I love drinking it), rolling rock, killians, blue moon, new castle .... these are probably the ones I drink more often.
Sierra Nevada and Fat Tire are standards in my house.
I will say this, as well: Fuck Corona -- that's pretty much the only beer I refuse to drink, I rather drink a friggin' Colt 45 than a shitty Corona any day. That mexican pisswater will never be found in my fridge.
