Ale, Lager....I'm not too fond of darker beers.

Dogfish specializes in Ales- some can get a bit dark- but most a medium bodied.

Magic Hat #9 is one of the tastiest beers ever! But it is hard to get in the south. Magic Hat is a small micro brewery in Vermont- so it's only sold in parts of New England.

Dogfish Head makes a 90-minute IPA that rocks. Dixie Lee Liquors carries a number of their lines.

The Sweetwater beers are OK -- I think they get a lot of pub just for novelty. The "blue" is interesting.

I have to leave recommendations for Rogue brews. They make a BUNCH of styles, from pale and hoppy to thick, rich porters.

If you want heavy, I recently had a Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout. . . .whoa.

Oh, and Milo, YOU grow some:

ah- you've had #9?! Surprises me. It has a hint of apricot in it, yes. Quite light and refreshing.

The only Rogue beer I've had is Dead Guy Ale- loved it; it was a tap favorite for me.

What is this Double Bastard beer you speak of?

(though i do agree, it's better on tap.....as are most beers.....)

If you love Caffreys, as do I, you will at least like Boddington's (surprised nobody's mentioned it) or Smithwick's or Bellhaven. Kilkinney is another great british beer, but I haven't seen it stateside. For something darker but not too heavy, McEwan's Scotch Ale is very nice.

For lagers, I love Modelo Especial in the summertime. Kronenbourg 1664 is excellent - easily one of my favorite beers. You can't go wrong with Pilsner Urquell or Stella either. Hoegaarden is yummy too, but don't go to sleep on Shiner's Hefeweizen either.

I have had Boddingtons. Not too bad. And Tetley (SP?)

Have you ever heard of Warlick or Werlick Cream Ale?

I have had Smithwick but I am trying to find Nitro canned beers.

think I mentioned Boddington's way back, but was ignored. It is a very good beer.

guess I didn't mention it. It gets my vote. your remarks don't bother me in the least. I wasn't trying to be a smart-azz, but I probably earned the response either way.

Not so fast, my friend. I had it at the Brewer's Tent at Bonnaroo a couple of years ago, and then found it for retail sale at a corner market in Asheville's downtown square. I wish I could remember the name of that little place -- it's a food market with a side room that had a meager wine selection and one of the finest beer selections I've ever seen.

Props on the Belhaven mention. . . .the cream ale is fantastic on draft. Another old draft fav from the Flying Saucer days was Maredsous (aka "the Reaper").

Double Bastard is a limited release from Stone Brewing company (Stone Brewing Co.). It's big. REAL big. Not for the faint of heart.

Oh, nice with pulling out the "Vu," Hillbilly. Here's my favorite:
