i dont think i could choose a favorite beer, too many good ones out there (at LEAST as many as really terrible ones) at the moment, however, i'm really enjoying don de dieu, maudite, and la fin du monde by unibroue, samuel smith's taddy porter, oatmeal stout, and winter welcome ale are all great, pilsner urquell is a long time favorite, i like most of samuel adams' seasonal lineup but dont care as much for their boston lager, i like guinness and smithwicks a lot, then i'm also a fan of a nice cold bottle (or six) of becks during warm weather i like my dad's homebrews, and he's teaching me how to do it for myself, so hopefully i'll be good at it (can't be harder than growing mushrooms, i'm sure....watching him i've noticed you dont need to take nearly as many precautions in the way of sterilization, though it still is quite important...) then of course there's liquor and liqueurs....can't turn down a shot or two of captain morgan's private stock, a little jagermeister, or any number of other items....
