I have always liked imports from Canada and EU but have recently reaffirmed
my love for US brews. Sierra Nevada, St Arnolds and New Belgium are some of
my favorites right now. Being a wheat lover SA's lawnmower is a thirst
quencher and I don't think I can stop with just six of SN's pale ales. What
are some of yuz guys American favorites?

Turn it up.

Right now I'm digging Three Floyd's Dreadnaught IIPA and
New Holland's Full Circle. The former is a big beer with a
lot of hop flavor and a lot of malt to back it up. The latter
is a "single malt" beer that is light in color and body but
big on Noble (I'd guess) hops.

Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA, Dogfish head Aprihop, Weyerbacher
Rasberry Imperial Stout and Troegs Hopback. I've got a serious hop
problem.

I am making notes for my next trip to the store. I may have a serious hop
problem myself

So many to choose from but Victory Hop Devil and Prima Pils are near the top
of my list. Pretty much anything from Victory, Great Lakes, Sierra Nevada,
and Anderson Valley is a good bet.

My new favorite breweries are Bell's in Michigan and Heavyweight in New
Jersey. My old favorites are Victory, Penn, and Great Lakes.

I would add Old Dominion in Virginia and any of the "bird" beers from
Mendocino (especially Black Hawk Stout and Blue Heron Ale).

Agh! Can't believe I fogot Hop Devil! HD rules. The Anderson Valley
line is also very nice, especially the IPA and Oatmeal Stout.

Capital's Kolster Weizen (very estery) and Wisconsin Amber
are my favorites.

I like their dunkel-weizen quite a bit too, but that doesn't
seem to come around IL very often any more dang it...

The blonde & dark doppelbocks are also very good. After that,
then I think the Kloster Weizen for me.

I really like Sierra Nevada and New Belgium. Also, Abita Turbodog Ale
(out of Lousiana)is mighty fine if you can get it. Mississippi Mud is
also quite good. It's a black and tan brewed in NY, I think.

think the Kloster Weizen for me.

The blonde doppelbock recently came out, and it has never been better (All
About Beer gives it a glowing review and a 97 score). It is almost syrupy
dense in its maltiness, but still bright and alive in its potency--and when
really fresh it is a big, boistrous, kicker of a beer.

The Capitol Autumnal Fire is gone--but that is a unique, dark-amber, lighter
styled-dopplebock from Capitol that is also happily malty but still potent
and dry.

The Kloster Weizen is very distinctive too, but I got tired of all that
banana and have gone back to Schneider and Paulaner.

I really like Sierra Nevada and New Belgium.

The New Belgium Tripel is one of the few suds that I will pack sixes into
carry-on and fly back to Wisconsin. I would probably drink it everyday if
they had it up here.

Had that one last year and was just amazed that something that appeared
so light could still keep a massive dopplebock maltiness. Capital needs
to start distributing on the East Coast.
