Here's a subject near & dear to me. I really can't just name one beer as a favorite, I like so many I'll go by favorite in each style. Pale Ale - Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, the one by which all others are measured IPA - Dogfish Head 90Minute IPA, the perfect malt/hop balance for the style Porter - Great Lakes Ed Fitzgerald, the best porter I've ever had Stout - SN Stout, great anytime Oatmeal Stout - Samuel Smith Imperial Stout - Thirsty Dog Siberian Night, 9%, complex and smooth Brown Ale - Brooklyn Brown, I love the biscuit malt in this Scottish Wee Heavy - Skull Splitter, malty Dopplebock - Salvator, another malty one Pilsner- Urquell, the original is still the best, Miller is a laughable attempt at the style Wit - Hoeegarten, yummy
