my favorite gay bar has draft blue moon for $1.25 a pint so I do drink a lot of blue moon but it's not my favorite
Oh neat a beer thread, i have about a 100 more beers to go at[URL="http://www.fiddler.nl/"] the Fiddler[/URL] in the Hague before i have done all the beers and i picked out some very unusual ones that are surprisingly good, their sell about 200-250 beers including smaller breweries and even got their own.
Kompaan 39 Bloedbroeder (Bloodbrother) and Leffe Tripel are one of my favorites, i gotta take a picture of the beer menu so i can highlight what were some good ones but damn i wish you could get those beers easier.

We have Stella and probably some others. I like Stella.

Stella is gooood, bit sidetracking but if you ever find yourself around Belgium i [I]strongly [/I]suggest doing a Trappisten beer guide, the beer is made by actual monks and just being in a old chapel is amazing (especially since y'know, they make beer).
So nothing like La Trappe or Westmalle is sold outside of the benelux? Damn..

Some places sell more variety than others. I'm sure you can get a lot of Belgian brands in the US, I'll have to look next time I go to the local supermarket. They recently updated their store and now the beer isle is like a candy store for adults. So many options and local brews. Build your own packs too which is good for going outside your comfort zone.

Every month our supermarket changes their beer selection which is about 20-30 beers and its always a treat to stock up for the weekend and to just hold some kind of mini tasting event with a nice movie. I just wish it wasn't so expensive

Costs only a dollar. Great quality for the price.

Belgian-style is a popular beer, but not all are actually Belgian-import. Blue Moon, for example, advertises itself as a belgian-style beer, and is owned by MillerCoors, which makes Miller and Coors beers
My everyday drinking favorite:

However, if you go to the beer section at the grocery store, you're sure to find a Belgian-style beer, or an actual Belgian import, like Hoegaarden (I like this one)

MillerCoors (99 brands), Pabst(26 brands), and Anheuser Busch(200 brands), pretty much make all the name-brand beers. In fact wiki tells me MillerCoors brews the beer that Pabst owns. Regardless of what beer you buy, the profit eventually funnels down to one of two companies, basically. Not so much Pabst, I suppose.
[editline]1st May 2016[/editline]
(oh, and Anheuser-Busch InBev acquired SABMiller, which also has a shitload of foreign brands. So pretty much anything you buy now will be part of the Anheuser-Busch empire)
Anyone else from the east coast?

Living in PA you can get this beer everywhere and it's one of my favorites.
Also another great PA beer.

Blue Moon is my favorite taste-wise but it gives me the worst shits and stomach upset. No other wheat beer does that.
If you like Belgian wheat beers, treat yourself to a Hoegaarden. Although really I haven't found a Belgian beer I don't like. Blue Moon, Stella, Hoegaarden, Shock Top, White Rascal...
any one try oculto?

blue moon and white rascal are from colorado and shock top is from missouri. white rascal is great but neither blue moon or shocktop compare to hoegaarden.

oculto is disgustingly sweet but if you like bitch beers then it's probably the one for you
I think Red Racer for me. It's damn tasty and it's not too outrageously priced at the LCBO.

I only drink the highest of quality
Yuengling is usually my go to beer though
[t]http://i.imgur.com/SLoTdNk.jpg[/t][/QUOTE]
We got a case of Hamm's recently and it was disgusting.
Yuengling is also my go-to. I contend that it's the best taste:price ratio in a beer. It's so popular here that if you go into a bar and order a lager, you get a Yuengling.
Also, I have a confession to make: I don't think Budweiser is terrible. It's not great, of course, but of the huge brands in America like Miller and Coors, Bud is easily the most drinkable.

When I was in Antigua, they had this Antiguan brewed beer called Wadadli. It wasn't the best but it was free and it did the trick. Plus it's really all they had other than Piton
