So I've been trying to expand my beer tastes beyond the usual crap, and I've been purchasing a new 6 pack every time I want some beer now. What do you all suggest?
To give you all an idea of my taste, my most recent was Saranac Pale Ale and I loved it.
I'm just getting started at this "nice beer" stuff, so pale ales and lagers probably fit my taste moreso than any stouts or black and tans, but all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
Be like the real runners, the Native Americans. Get a couple of 40's and pound them into submission.
yeah i drink a fair amount of mickeys and king cobras. treating myself today though.
New Belgium Brewery's new spring seasonal Springboard Ale is pretty good.
Dude if you can get a hold of anything made by Widmer go for that
Ahe 750ml Champagne type bottle of Jenlain French Country Ale if you like SaranacPA would be a nice new taste for you.
It's from France I know but the Brasserie Duycks family know their stuff

Venturing out and trying beers is a very good decision. I don't understand why people go out and pay 4 bucks for a Miller Lite or Corona when there are so many great beers out there. I've been trying to venture out for the past 1.5 years and it seems like my taste for beer is always changing every several months.
everyone has their own favorite local microbrew, but the problem is that it is not avalible nation wide. it really depends on what part of the country you're in. there are a few microbrews that are getting big like new belgium and abita, but most are exclusive to one or two states.
but hey, i like Honey Brown. and i'm pretty sure you can find that anywhere.
if you're ever in chicago, give this dude a buzz....he makes some very good homebrews. No seriously.
sam adams double bock; a seasonal that might still be available. 8.8% abv, but most seller don't charge more than $8 per six.
Doggy Style Pale Ale
Hooker Blonde
I find most dofish to be very good
Moosehead, its Canada's best, and delicious.
Harpoon IPA, if you can get it outside of New England.
New Castle Brown Ale
ive had magic hat 9 and absolutely loved it. its hard to keep away from any time im looking for a 6er. today i went with the newcastle brown ale, and thought that was great too. maybe im just an alcoholic, maybe i just love beer. ill keep all these suggestions in mind, but ill probably get another two for me and some buddies tomorrow (march madness baby), so im thinking about the hoegarden and dogfish (with a local coming before dogfish if it looks like anything good).
thanks a ton for the suggestions and keep them coming, i foresee much drinking in my near future.
ive had dundees honey brown too, thought that was alright. a little too sweet for my taste though.
