Ok - I used to like a few things... (and still do...)...
Spaten - Optimator
Alaskan - White
Belhaven - Scottish Ale

- but I just came across a few new ones:
Spaten - Dunkel
Belhaven - St. Andrews Ale

What do you like or suggest?

Try a great Irish Cream Ale called Wexford. I personally love it and is very close to a beer I had while in Europe called Kilkenney. They do not import Kilkenny so this is closest I can get.

It is created like Guiness, meaning no carbonation. I can drink a 4 pack with no problems and goes down like water to me. It isnt easy to find but depending on where you are, Arvada has a couple places that stock it regularly.

Careful. Irving gave me all sorts of hell when I was drinking free Heineken last month on my business trip. No telling what he'll say......

I'm not sure I can come up with A (meaning, one) favorite. However, some of my favorites are, in no particular order:

Hoegaarden Belgian White Ale
Shock Top Belgian White Ale
Fat Tire
Easy Street Wheat
Bass
Boddington's Pub Ale

For now;

Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA
Pilsner Urquell
Peroni
...and all the other "75 billion" crafts and home-brews out there that just kick-ass and never roll to the top of a given list.

Ask next week and my list will change again...and the week after that...:)

It’s actually Newcastle Brown Ale aka ‘Dog’ for those from NE England.

I was a professional beer taster for Scottish & Newcastle Breweries!

As for best beer, too many to list but if I had to go for one I’d say St. Stans Dark.

Titan IPA, Newcastle, Guinness, Session Dark, and oddly enough, Tsingtao

If you like Scottish Ales, one of the best ones is brewed right here in The Springs:

http://www.bristolbrewing.com/cp_upload/llab_small.gifhttp://www.bristolbrewing.com/cp_upload/lab_pint_1.jpg

Bristol (http://www.bristolbrewing.com) brews a lot of nice beers.

Like their Oatmeal Stout
http://www.bristolbrewing.com/cp_upload/warlock_logo_small_1.gifhttp://www.bristolbrewing.com/cp_upload/warlock_pint.jpg
and on a hot summer afternoon after mowing
http://www.bristolbrewing.com/cp_upload/rocket_logo_small.gifhttp://www.bristolbrewing.com/cp_upload/rocket_pint.jpg

Honestly I have yet to get a beer from them I didn't like.

I highly recommend you head down to 1647 S. Tejon (that's just a couple blocks south of the I25 exit) and pick up a growler (or 5).

Damn ... I wish I was getting some sort of commission

Passion fruit mango ale from Pumphouse Brewery, Longmont. Sounds soooo strange and female, but is actually really good for a white man :)

Hmm ... Colorado Creamery occasionally makes Guinness ice cream ... I could see where a scoop of that (or even just vanilla) would be nice in a pint.

Anyone Tried Fuller's?

Their 1845 is pretty good, so was their london pride. A little malty, but I prefer that for certain meals.

My standard fare at the bar is a good old Fat Tire.

Back where I grew up we had a Big Dog Micro Brewery, Their Wardog IPA was the stuff... man I miss that.

I haven''t tried that - yet, but I understand that it actually improves the Blue Moon.
