Lets talk about BEER.
What is your favorite, or favorites, as the case may be? and WHY?
As an aside, I did some reading on the beer advocate website, and found it less than helpful. On describing the same beer, the descriptions vary more than they agree. No head, no lace, 1 finger head, good lace, full head, excellent lace--all describing the same brew. I figure with the OD crowd we ought to get some decent opinions.

I am a bit of a hophead, I like virtually any and all IPA. Some better ( or bitter) than others, but I've never had an objectionable IPA.

Current new favorite is Harvest Ale by Southern Tier Brewing.

Eagerly anticipating November's release of Celebration Ale by Sierra Nevada. I can't say I have ever had a bad brew from Sierra Nevada.
Cheapo stand-by is Yeungling Lager for the summer, switching to Porter in the fall.

That's it for me--where do the rest of you stand?
