Love a good Milk Stout... Lancaster Milk Stout in Lancaster PA is amazing.

It's hard to believe that only 15 years ago most if these beers were not available or very localized.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Yazoo Pale Ale

No. 1 favorite beer: Cold beer

All kidding aside, favorite is Harp.

Try a place where you can buy one of each type, like a mix and match 6-pack. That's kind of what I always tell people. Find a style (Porter, IPA, Bock, Pilsener, etc.) that you like and then try different brands. You'll get better at recognizing the quality you're looking for. Don't listen to the "beer snobs" who tell you that you have to like a certain kind/style/brand. For instance, I saw some people who love Samuel Adams, but I don't. No biggie, everyone has their own tastes. I also don't care for wheat beers. Just not my thing. I love several styles of beer too.

Someone up top posted to go to a Microbrew/Brew pub and try several different styles. That's a great idea, IMO. You may find that you like stouts but don't care for IPAs. It's all about what YOU like. No pressure, just find what it is that suits you and have fun!!!

CHEERS!!!
