Local: Sly Fox Helles Lager (Kimberton, PA) - German Style Helles Larger 5% ABV

National: Dogfishead Chateu Jaihu (Delaware, now merged with Sam Adams) - Craft beer based upon an ancient Chinese recipe determined by Molecular Archeology of vessels found in a village dig on the Jaihau River. Malty golden ale made with Honey, Junipur, currant, brewed with Sushi rice. around 14 to 15% ABV.

Foreign: Chimay Grand Reserve (Blue), Abbey de Notradam, Belgium - Belgian Trappist Ale, dark in color but very balanced. 8% ABV


It is very hard for me to just choose three, since I like so many types and styles.


Mike (Beer Geek)

Local:
Panty Peeler, Midnight Sun Brewing Company, Belgian style Tripel, 8.5% alcohol

National:
Little Sumpin', Lanhunitas, lighter style ale

Foreign:
Falcon Shandy, Malta, light lemon shandy. Found this in Malta and it really is the ultimate summertime beer.

I have only one favorite: Stiegl Gold. It’s a lager from Austria. The only beer that I buy. Known in Austria as Stiegl Goldbräu.

It comes in half liter (17 oz) cans – the right size for a beer!

It's tough to pick just one for the local and national. Just so many great choices nowadays. So for local I picked the default if nothing else piques my interest.

Local: Troegs - Dream Weaver

National: Yuengling Lager

Foreign: Guinness

From Pottsville, Pa. #1 Yuengling Black & Tan, #2 Yuengling Lager, #3 Shiner Bock, Shiner, Texas.

Although I’m nibbling on: 114 Old Grandad.
