Weihenstephaner Original Lagers don't get enough love from the beer snobs, but there is a reason they are the most popular beer. This one is just the pinnacle of that form.

1) Alpine Beer Co - Keene Idea - double IPA The rest: Societe - The Pupil (IPA) Societe was started by one of the brewers at Russian River, and they make GREAT beer. Russian River - Blind Pig Alpine Beer Co - Nelson (rye IPA) El Segundo Mayberry IPA El Segundo - Citra Pale Ale Societe - The Bachelor (especially the Mosaic version) It's a single hop pale ale that they make with a different variety each batch. Pizza Port Ponto Session IPA is what's usually in my refrigerator. Firestone Walker - Pivo Pils is really good on a hot day. Ballast Point - Sculpin IPA
Landshark Corona I had a really good and really alcoholic espresso stout once, forget the name. Most of the beer I drink is Natty Ice though- cheapest thing to buy in bulk.
Typically just drink Leffe Blonde or Leffe Brown. As far as I know it's the most affordable abbey beer you can get in the US.
This. After a long day of yard work last weekend I had a ice cold Busch light left in a neighbor's cooler and thought it was the best beer ever
Yep, I've had Pliny many times. I used to live in the bay area and we would go to Russian River Brewing Co after mountain bike rides at Annadel State Park. Pliny is great, but they make several other beers that I like better.
I used to drink Michelob back in the day, but I haven't had one in over 20yrs. If I was to drink now it would probably be this..... Spoiler It comes with a warning label for sissies. You have to die someday..... ....... ....... .......
Cool. The cult like following for Pliny is pretty amazing, but I was pleasantly surprised on how it actually delivered on my built-up expectations after chasing it for a month. Sculpin gets the job done in the absence of Pliny, but for the time being Pliny is second to none for me. I may just have to branch out more, and the beers off of your list that I have not tried yet seem like a good place to start.
