No way we should have a whiskey thread without a beer thread. I'm a big craft beer fan, and I've done some homebrewing over the years. Got into reviewing beers years ago and I have hundreds in my notebook. So what's your malted brew of choice?

If I had to pick only one forever, it would be Bell's Two Hearted Ale out of Kalamazoo, MI. It's a US IPA in an east coast style, with more floral and fruity notes compared to the bitter, piney west-coast IPAs. This time of year I enjoy a good marzen, as well as some winter warmers as we approach the holidays. I also love a good pilsner - not the yellow fizzy stuff from Bud or Miller, but a real pilsner. Something like Prima Pils from Victory Brewing in Pennsylvania.

I could ramble on for day, but first I'd better be sure someone is listening...
