I have to have a certain glass for mine. It just makes it taste better.

All this talk has made me thirsty. I will have to enjoy one or two tonight.

The glass is important. A rounded one, like a flower. Thirst is a problem, it can kill you in 3 days. keep alive!

Please,don't think i'm unfriendly, but to the west of Brussels the only beer as good as the Chimay is the Guiness.

I'm sure your not unfriendly, and there are hundreds of beers better than Guinness!

Chimay make top-fermented, bottle-conditioned beers - similar to traditional English ales.

Morland Hen's Tooth is a good example

Just recently had a 6 of the Dogfish 60 Minute IPA and I was surprised. Didn't really float my boat at first, but I really enjoyed it, particularly when I compared it to a Founder's IPA, which just seemed... uncomplex... compared to the Dogfish Head. For a relatively cheap beer, I like the Red Hook IPA a lot, actually, too. The Victory Sunrise wheat beer is AWESOME.

They're probably hard to get in the US but

Augustiner Weißbier
Andechser Doppelbock
Einbecker Mai-Ur-Bock
Rhenania Alt
Früh Kölsch (if you want to drink a lot)

are amazing beers.
 
A couple new ones I really liked:

Lagunitas IPA- Not very strong for an IPA (or maybe I have just been drinking too many double IPAs), but very balanced.

Moylan's Hopsickle (double IPA)- Huge hop flavor, I like it even better than Ruination and Maharaja.

Rogue Dead Guy Ale (Bock)- My first bock. I wasn't sure what style it was until after I drank it (and read about it), so I was expecting an American Strong Ale or something similar. The lack of hop flavor, head and carbonation was unexpected. After the "WTF?" wore off, I really enjoyed it. Very mellow, subdued flavor, but a very complex flavor. Very drinkable. I prefer beers that punch my mouth in the face, but this is nice when I am in the mood.

When my paycheck hits my account I am going to order a Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA and a 3 Floyds Alpha King online. I couldn't find them anywhere and then found out they do not distribute them to California. I do have a reputable online site that sells them, though. I think i will get a Brooklyn Chocolate Stout as well.

I'm still pretty new to beer, but my current favorite is Blue Moon. Corona is good too, for a more standard beer. Maybe it's the citrus-ness I like?
 
If you can find it Bell's Oberon (made in Kalamazoo, MI) is pretty tasty. I like Leinenkugel's beers and for something different Tequiza is great ice cold with some Mexican food.
For anyone from the Lansing area, try Harper's Spartan Wheat micro brew. And for any actual Spartans, yes its available in a keg. ;)
