What is best in life? Some would say that it is the open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair. Others might say it is to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women. I would say that a good beer is up there.
My name is Charlie
I like beer. I have started homebrewing my own beer and collecting beers to enjoy at a date to be determined. Buying into Sam Calagione’s line that the business of brewing is “99% asshole free”, I just want to make some delicious beer without pretension.
Some of my favorites:
Sierra Nevada Anything
Newcastle Brown
Dogfish Head 60, 90, or 120 (!!!)
Mendocino Eye of the Hawk
Guinness (for health)
Saranac Pale Ale
Dale’s Pale Ale
Natty Light (Cans only. It’s $10 for 18 in NYC!)
And so many more. Clearly, I’m a hophead, but I love trippels, brown ales, copper ales, and stouts in particular as well. And that Natty Light. Come on, give me a break. Everyone needs something a little laid back.

Glad to see that you’re still a Sierra Nevada fan… I expected nothing less. Strange that you essentially introduced me to good beer and yet you seem to have neglected my favorite genre, the porter, in all of you beer wanderings. May I recommend a black butte, mad dog (still talking porter of course, as opposed to the college alcohol variety), or gonzo… You may have to travel westward to find those.
