What a response!! My favorite beer/ale? What time is it? You're all right (correct that is) I love them all (Bud,Coors,etc excepted of course). among the commercial/domestics brews, I'll tend toward Sam Adams; Pete's Wicked made a Maple Porter that was quite refreshing. But since I got a Homebrew kit for Christmast two years ago, I don't buy much beer any more. Some of the Homebrews I've made have outclassed all the greats. Its not an ego thing. When you keep out the preservatives, homogenization, etc. it opens up the flavor a whole lot. So I serve my own to all who dare And none have died or felt despair.
