I just popped a New Holland Mad Hatter IPA. If there isn't grapefruit in this I will be very surprised.

When I get to the bar I will have to settle for SweetWater 420. It is the best they have.

420 is solid, my go to beer at the local Greenville Drive Baseball games. Agree Le Freak is also yummy.

Just squeezed in a few pints at the local growler place when i was sent out for errands. Allagash Curieux and New Belgium 1554 Dark Ale. Good stuff!

Killians is basically an amber. Many better in that style, but just my opinion.

Also mad hatter...drink it fast. Doesn't take it long before it becomes a drain pour.

Gotcha. If your not a fan of Irish Red, you are not going to like it.

What kind of beers do you normally go for?

Very few styles I don't like. Wheat beers, heavy smoked beers, american adjunct lagers, mead and ciders (if you count the last two as beers). Some styles may not be my favorite but I can appreciate a well made one, amber ales fit directly in this category. I despise Fat Tire and Laughing Skull.

Yeah, not a fan of that light stuff. Amber/Irish Red (whatever you want to call it) is about as light as I will go unless it is German.

Leave out the micro stuff, what are your favorite brands nationwide?

I don't drink the big macro stuff because I'm not a fan of th flavor. Now I do respect the ability to brew an extremely consistent beer. May not be a good tasting beer, but a bud in Nashville tastes the same as one in Seattle. That is incredibly hard to do...I just don't like how it tastes. I don't normally like wheat beers (sans 3F Gumballhead...mmmmm), but did try a shock top end of the world midnight wheat and it wasn't bad at all...surprising.

So no macro beer at all?

I like to go to small breweries as much as the next guy, but I find it a bit cliche that most in this thread acts as if macro beer is beneath them.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, but that's really still micro. I'm with Volntitan, I don't do macro for several reasons. Most importantly, they just don't have much flavor. But the way they try and monopolize the market is pretty dispicable. I guess Newcastle would be my favorite macro, now that I think about it.

It's not beneath me at all. I've just moved on from the flavor. My tastes have gotten such that BMC beers taste flat and skunky. Just choose not to drink it since I drink for flavor, not to get hammered. I don't like the taste of tea, so if the only thing other than water to drink, I'd choose water.

If I'm broke, I have no issue going with a High Life or Tecate or Old German or whatever.

It's not that Budweiser is beneath me, but there is most definitely something about it that makes me get a headache the next morning if I have two or three.

I don't disagree that a lot of macro stuff is terrible. I just find it odd that people don't drink macro at all.
