My all time favorite comes from the state of Victoria in the country of Australia.  It is James Squire Amber Ale.

Here in the US I drink more Shiner Bock than any other beer but that is probably because the liquor stores here all have it available for pick up in kegs without a need to pre order it AND the fact that it is great.

My favorite summer time beer:  Dos XX

My favorite exotic beer:  Worthington Cream Flow (nitro pour) - Smooth, silky, good amber tasting, and the foam was crazy, it wasn't too much foam or head on a beer it was simply always there and would coat the entire pint glass and sit there with every drink. Had it in London.

Alternative/Special Occasion Beers:

-A good German Dunkel

-Paulaner Octoberfest

-Corona Familiar (1 liter bottles from Mexico, not the clear bottle stuff made here in the US)

-Rogue Dead Guy Ale

-Bunkerhill Blueberry Ale (Boston Beerworks brew pub outside of Fenway Park) - Never thought I would order or drink a beer with fruit in it much less really enjoy it, but this is the one :)
 
Another seasonal favorite is just about done this year's run. Troeg's Nugget Nectar. Great stuff, definitely a hoppy beer, but not to the point of being super bitter. Usually it's available only in January/February, I was lucky enough to find a leftover 6 pack today at the store.
 
Last weekend I brewed up a SNPA and another batch today.

Next weekend I plan on brewing either a Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA, Bell's 2 Hearted American IPA, or maybe even an Arrogant Bastard Ale. I hope to get another 10 gallons of German-style Hefe Weizen in before the end of the month or in the first week in April.
 
lol I brewed a pliny clone while i was in germany. I lot of the folks out there that I let try it hated it. Ive never had an actual pliny so i had nothing to compare it to but I thought mine was pretty damn good.

This time of year in Mississippi, anything that's cold. Late fall through winter I like the heftier stuff, stouts, porters etc. Gotta Get Up To Get Down is a coffee milk stout from up the road in Memphis that I like a lot.
 
I have two favorite kinds of beer, cold and free! Either one of those two options I can work with. If I happen upon a situation that has cold and free beer, all the better. Seriously though I enjoy trying every beer I can find. If I haven't had it I want to try it.
 
I'm a pure hop-head from Minnesota. My current favorite is a local brew Surly: Furious. My other go to is whatever is cheapest between, Summit IPA, Redhook IPA, Sierra Nevada IPA. All three are similar but slightly different. Summit is a local BIG brewery.
 
I used to work remotely for a company in Eden Prairie, so I would get some Surly every time that I visited the boss. Never got to visit the brewery and take the tour, which I regret. I don't miss working for that company, but I did enjoy the occasional Surly!
 
My favorite subject (besides the kids, of course)! My go to beer is Black Butte Porter from Deschutes Brewery in Bend Oregon. However 2 years ago Santa gave me a beer of the month club subscription and I've been loving beer from all over the world since.
 
I'm mostly a double IPA guy. My garage beer is Stone IPA. Roughtail Hoptometrist is probably the best double IPA for me because it's local and fresh. Those guys have a seriously strong hop game going on. Right now, drinking a Doom bourbon barrel aged imperial IPA.
 
mmmm...beer!

My go to in terms of quantity is Sweetwater 420. We have a growing microbrew community here in Central FL, Cigar City Brewing being one of the more widely known options. Their Jai Alai IPA is a darn good sip. I find myself drawn to IPAs mostly nowadays, though a good stout is always welcomed. Not too many in America seem to brew this selection, but an ESB is another favorite when found
