Anyone else a fan of stouts? Absolutely my favorite - the darker the better!

Particularly Southern Tier has a few fantastic chocolate and coffee stouts, as well as the dessert style Creme Brulee stout! Very full bodied and sweet.



I love stouts too. I assume you're a fan of porters as well?


I'm actually a bit new to the beer scene and have not fully experienced porters. I imagine they're just as good! Have any recommendations for a first porter?

To be honest, most of the porters I've had came from local microbreweries - meaning it is hard for me to suggest some you could find. I do, however, enjoy Y***gling Porter. Try that one out, it had a wider market range.

We have been getting a lot of good quality imported beers at a reasonable price into New Zealand lately, and I have been buying Kaltenberg Pils, which Google tells me is a German Pilsener style beer. Very easy to drink.

Man I love craft beer. West Sixth IPA where I live is amazing. I also have a microbrewery in my town called the Beer Engine. Great house craft beer and they bring in a nice variety from other microbreweries in the state. They had a beer called Saurbock, which was a sour beer that was very good. I was a bit hesitant at first, but the flavor profile was awesome.

My favorite styles are IPAs and porters. I love IPAs for their bitter finish and porters for their hints of coffee and sometimes chocolate. I enjoy porters more in the winter, though.


I used to drink Budlight, Coors, etc. But I can't enjoy them after being shown the light at the end of the tunnel that is craft beer. Ugh! I want to go get some now. I'm enjoying this thread a lot.


I live in an area that has no shortage of microbreweries too, it's been amazing! I am a huge fan of IPAs, I agree with you about the bitter finish being enjoyable. While I still enjoy light every now and again, I much prefer an IPA if I'm just sitting down at the end of a day and having one beer.

The list of recommended beers has also been updated with the beers mentioned since the last update, there were a bunch of new ones! Thanks everyone for contributing your recommendations! :)

You can add Bell's Two Hearted Ale to that list, it's one of my go-to IPAs lately. Perfectly balanced with a nice bit of malt backbone to back up the hops on the front end, with a nice smooth finish. This would probably be one of the IPAs I would give someone to try who has never had one before.

Has anyone tried Blue Moon Belgian White? What are your opinions? “Loddfafnir, listen to my counsel: You will fare well if you follow it, It will help you much if you heed it. If aware that another is wicked, say so: Make no truce or treaty with foes.” - Havamal 127
