If I'm in a restaurant that carries it (only one that I currently know, here in Indianapolis), I'll order Wahrsteiner Dunkel, a German dark beer.

If they don't have that, my first reflex is to order Blue Moon.

If I'm at my "neighborhood Brew Pub", I'll order what they call Lawnmower Ale. If in the winter, I'll make my lame joke about how they should call it Snowblower Ale.

For consumption at home, I enjoy Fat Weasel Ale, from Trader Joe's.
