haha thanks dude... Nothing wrong with cheap beer. Just matters what the occasion is. If my going to a nice steak house im not going to order a Bud Light when they have Anchor Steam on the Beer List, But if its Sunday Football, I'll pretty much drink whatevers in the fridge (as long as its not a bitch pop)

No Smirnoff, No Hooch Ice, No Sparxx etc etc....

On a side note.. I had a Mirror Pond and didnt admire the taste much.. But got a couple buddies that live and die by it.

Oh yea... and i havent read all 5 pages, but I was glad not to see Guniess everywhere... everyone raves about that ****, and I think its plain CRAP. If I want to drink dirt i'll go outside and drink muddy puddle water, and save $5 a bottle.

BTW, I LOVE Nyquil and Rubbing Alcohol on ur list... lol now thats straight savage!

I can get a good variation of Dog Fish head at the beer warehouse near my house... check this list and I can get anything on it. I'll see which Dogfish's they have, I know they have coffe porter (I think that one's a porter) and the Doggystyle Ale, not sure what the other ones are...

Right now, this is my list:

Lienenkugel's Honey Weiss
Guinness
Bud & Bud Light
Hazed and Infused
Ten Penny Ale

Throughout my life, I have never liked real Hoppy beers, like most IPA's I can't stomach. But I tried thisbeer one day on my friends dime, I probably never would have bought this beer but I won't turn down a free one, and I really liked it, so I got a sixer in my fridge at all times now. All the beers I listed above are in my fridge right now.

Here's a link...click on the beer tap all the way to the right...

I hear that a lot. In fact, I remember saying that I didn't like really hoppy beers a few years ago. Now, I can really enjoy IPA's and even more so, DIPA's. ****, I'm pretty much a hophead.

I find, when people say they don't like to much hops in their beer, it's not about the bitterness, it's about the specific hops used and balance and "match" between malt and hops. A beer can have a lot of hops, but be mellowed out by a ton of malt. I find hoppiness can be a bad thing, but often, it's fukin magical. I think I'm getting teary-eyed...

BTW, here was my latest discovery. Avery's Hog Heaven:

http://www.averybrewing.com/BigBeers/docs/hogHeaven

It has more hops than most barleywines (I haven't had a lot of this style though), and I love it. At 9.2%, it packs a bit of a punch too-lol. Has a great deep red color and smells like grapefruit and orange. Barleywines age well...but they wouldn't in my house-lol.

Crazy Bruce's looks nice. Do they stock all of varieties for the brewerys listed, or just a few? How about microbrews? WTF do they have?

They have the best selection I've ever seen, but depending on popularity in this area... like we only get three of the Lienenkugel's because the others would not sell probably.

But they have more Magic Hats and Long Trails than you guys can get probably...
