Lagunitas
Loose Cannon
Dog Fish Ale 60 min only
10 Penny

In this order. Hopefully, you like hoppy IPA's because these are the best
 
I can't overemphasize my endorsement of Cigar City Jai Alai IPA over some of the others being mentioned here. The stuff is awesome. Find some.
 
Harp is my favorite. Always has been.

When it gets cold it is supplemented with a bourbon that I select for that year.

This years bourbon is TBD.
 
I live in Raleigh, where we have a huge craft beer scene. We're going to hit 100 breweries in the state sometime in the next year.

I'm happy to see CT's beer scene coming along quite nicely. If you haven't been to Relic Brewing, you should really check it out. It's a small operation run by Mark Sigman.

And if you are near Stratford, go and check out Two Roads Brewing. Their facility is HUGE, but they are designed to be a contact brewery as well. Their tap room is awesome and you can watch the whole operation from there.

Leigenkrugels? That stuff is horrid dish-soap-tasting lemony crap. YUCK.

Leinenkugels. I really like just about anything else the make EXCEPT the Shandy (well and their Honey Weiss)... and it's their most widely consumed/available beer. There really is no accounting for taste.

Looking for some new beers to try out this fall for tailgaiting.

Normally go with Shipyard Pumpkinhead, then when i'm feeling it switch over to mass drink Bud Light.

Any reccomendations?

The next UConn/USF game in Tampa (next year), I'll buy you a Tampa Bay Brewing IPA. (Good beer, here.).

Is this really a beer?
 
OK, time for me to respond to one of my favorite topics.

Best beer I ever tried... it gets an 11 = Hill Farmstead Earl

Next in line
- Lagunitas A Little Sumpin Sumpin
- Lagunitas Sucks
- Founders All Day IPA
- Founders Breakfast Stout
- Stone Ruination IPA

Like Led Zeppelin songs, my favorites can change on a weekly basis, but that is what I love about the craft beer movement.
 
Fat Tire, a beer that anyone who's drank a few on the west coast knows about, is showing up more along the east coast. A friend said they opened up another brewery in the Carolinas.

I've had a few and enjoy them. I don't go out of my way to find it (although my sister in law does). Interesting that it's only available in liquor stores or in bar/restaurants in the 22 ounce bottle. None on tap and no 6 or 12 packs yet.

Balance and approachability are the beer’s hallmarks. This auburn brew sports a bright white head that fades kind of quickly but leaves nice lacing behind in the glass. Scents are bready and sweet; honey-glazed biscuit, wet grain, caramel and a hint of herbal hops. Speaking of, the Willamette, Goldings and Target hops all do their job here, keeping the beer’s sweet and earthy notes up front with minimal bitterness, allowing the malt to be the centerpiece. It finishes light and crisp while the 5.2 percent alcohol by volume maintains a session quality.
 
IPA's now give me a hangover even after one, but when I did drink them I always liked DFH90 more than the 60. I thought it was better balanced. Heck, even the 120 was not horrible even though it is over 20% alcohol. Not exactly a session beer.

Now this is something I have to chime in on. Shipyard pumpkinhead... Sure the are better microbrews but like the first cool autumn day will always remind me of soccer season... Pumpkinhead will always get me pumped up about football season... And its damn good.

Pumpkinhead is kick ass just had it
 
Thanks for the suggestions, Keep them coming.

Have rolled through Laugunitas Pale Ale, Dog Fish Head 60 min IPA, and Nurse six packs this past week.

U guys are on a different planet with all these types of beers.. I thought an ice cold long neck Corona was OK.. or a Samuel Adams, but geesh, I'm definitely a lightweight...
 
To kick off the football season just ordered a 1/4 o stell artois for the kegerator It comes in next week and holding out until the thirtieth is going to take some serious willpower
