Best beer: Free beer
I like Caffrey's (Irish Ale); the Alaskan Amber and Winter Ale is good. If I'm eating pizza, I like a light beer, usually Miller.
Worst beer: Anheuser-Busch beers with the exception of Michelob.
Blatz was a pretty horrible one along with Red White and Blue beer. But if it's free? What the heck.
I drank some Affligem and Grimbergen when I was in France...by far the best beer I had in my life (even tough I don't drink a lot). Sucks that it is not available here.
Favorite: Shiner Bock (Texas) and "Koelsch" style beers (from Cologne, Germany ... brands like Gaffel or Frueh)
Least favorite: wheat beers ... hefeweisens
Weird: my cousin micro-brews and has used just about every fruit / candy flavor imaginable ... he made something with raspberries one time and it was so ... so .... almost good.
It's good although very very very sweet. I used to buy the big 750 ml. bottles of it but after one bottle of this stuff I'd have to switch to something else. The toffee and vanilla flavourings really get strong and almost overpowering after awhile.
I'm getting psyched for this summer where I'm going to be making two different trips to Michigan for various conferences/workshops. Planning to hit up Bell's, Founder's, and New Holland Breweries, probably more than once for the first two, as well as any others I happen to get a chance to visit. Will be in Grand Rapids for a few days and plan to spend most of my free time at Hopcat (#3 rated beer bar in the USA).

****ing amazing beer.
You're right though, can only have 1 or 2 before I change, but it's my favorite.
I had their recent release of I&G Beer which was ferminted in old scotch barrels... my god, it was amazing. 5$ a bottle, and 7% alcohol... but the stuff was like liquid gold.
-a 4-pack of Terrapin Wake N' Bake coffee oatmeal imperial stout (9.99)
Looking forward to working my way through this selection, along with some of the stuff I already have lurking at home (bombers of Bear Republic Bear Bear black stout and Lagunitas cappuccino stout).
Picked up a 4-pack of this today, pretty damn good.
Had that last year and I agree it's a really nice chocolate/milk stout hybrid (fits its name well ). I thought about getting that today in addition to the Wake N Bake stout but figured I can probably pick it up later.
So I was curious as to how much it would cost on Ebay to get a bottle of Three Floyds Brewing "Dark Lord" Russian imperial stout. Ummm...yeah. I think I'll be waiting a little while to try that one.
Depends somewhat on the vintage but most of the auctions were at $50 or higher for a bomber (not including what ever shipping was) without the auctions being done.
One guy was selling 4 limited edition numbered release bottles for $2000.
