    Fat Tire is pretty good. I don't think I have had the blonde.
    I have yet to try any by Deschutes.

    I never liked beer, so for years would insist on shots instead. Now I occasionally drink it though...New Belgium Trippel is my favorite so far.

    Lately, I have been partial to Shock Top. But my old standby is Corona....

    Im gonna have to try some Avery. I usually skip by it when selecting beer. I like Shiner in a pinch. Corona gives me a headache..2 or 12 same pain!!

    Has anyone had Heady Topper from the Alchemist?? Its the only beer rated 100 from beer advocate.

    Canadian. Partly because I am Canadian. Partly because it has an awesome name. Partly because I have always loved it.

    Nope, can't get that in Illinois. Same with all the Russian River Brewing company stuff.

    Highest beers I've had on that list are Goose Island Bourbon Country Brand Coffee Stout and Zombie Dust

    I feel like a lot of those top rated beers are only ranked so high because they are 'rare' or hard to find so people that do get them talk them up!

    Oooh, I almost forgot one of my favorite breweries! Surly! Out of MN some great stuff, specifically Overrated and Furious. Their Coffee Bender is great too!
