Dis Board Beer Snobs! - Oops wrong board, but read if you'd like anyway!

I am not a beer snob but :lovestruc LOVE :lovestruc Woodpecker draft at Rose & Crown. I now buy cases of it at home but R&C is the only place I can get it on tap. Mmmmm...
 
I had a terrific plum lambic from Chapeau last night. It was very good, light and sweet. I cannot say that I have a favorite as there are just too many great beers to try, but I can say that Trappist ales are terrific! if you like big Belgium beers, you cannot go wrong with a good Chimay. I also am a big fan of Goose Island (not the bottles, but at their brewpub here in Chicago). The selection is excellent and I haven't met a beer there I didn't like. Try the Red Felt if you're in the area. Its on tap now.
 
Another beer snob here. I've made a point to travel around the country and world trying different beers. Here's my list of my favorites:

Favorite: Murphy's Irish Stout (Guinness a close second - find a pub that serves both on tap and you've found a home)

American: Black Butte Porter, Deschutes Brewery, Bend, Oregon - no other American beer comes close.

Strongest beer that tastes great: Old Rasputin Imperial Stout, North Coast Brewing, California, Alcohol content 9%.

This beer makes you tell stories you'll later be embarrassed about having told: Kilt Lifter, Pike's Place Brewery, Seattle, WA (The name says it all - it'll have you lifting your kilt to the world.)

Favorite Mexican Beer: Negra Modelo w/ a lime (Forget that Corona stuff!)

Favorite Belgium Style Beer: 1554 Black Ale, New Belgium Brewing Co., Ft. Collins, CO (Their most popular beer is "Fat Tire", but their best is 1554).

Best beer that doesn't exist: Duff Beer, Springfield, ?.

Other favorites: Cutthroat Porter (Colorado), XXXXX Stout (Seattle, WA), Smithwicks (Ireland), Acme California Brown Ale (California), Belikin Stout (Belize)

Worst state to try to find these beers in: Florida. Our liquor laws are seemingly run by Anheiser-Busch so if you're a beer snob like me, ask your friends to mail you beer from other places because this place stinks for beer selection!

Level of beer snobbery for me: 9.8 out of 10.

Worst beers: Take your pic: Miller, Bud, Coors, or any of the "lite" variants of these "beers".

:banana:
 

I do have my personal favorites, both of which are made here in PA! Yuengling is made about an hour and a half from my house, so it's always relatively fresh. Rolling Rock is another personal fave of mine.

My fiance's down with any type of Chimay, and since he's from Canada, he's a big Moosehead fan. Le Cellier serves a certain type of Moosehead that isn't sold anywhere in the states. We each order it so he can drink both :rotfl: . Then we order 2 more towards the end of the meal and purposely don't drink much of them. The restaurant gives you walkers for whatever you don't finish! :drinking1
 
I know that the stores inside WDW Resorts sell bottled beer. I remember years ago drinking Voodoo Ale @ POR (Dixie Landings). Does anyone know of other Resorts' General Stores that may sell interesting beer? :drinking1
