Question

What's the best american made beer?

Answer 1

My vote would be Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale, which is available in the Fall only.  Brooklyn Brewing's Lager is also quite good.

Answer 2

budweiser

Answer 3

AleSmith's  Speedway Stout. Some rare bottles of it just sold on Ebay for $500, they retailed for less than $20.

Answer 4

That depends upon when you ask this question.  Right now, today at this moment...I'd say Budweiser but the problem with that answer is that within a very short time it is most likely going to be sold to a Belgian company.

Answer 5

Im sure you can ask this to 100 beer drinkers and get 100 different responses.  But the most popular american brands nation wide seem to be  coors , budweiser , miller .

Answer 6

My personal choice: Dogfish Head World Wide Stout.

Officially rated best American beer: Three Floyd's Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout.

EDIT:

No, I learned never to expect them to be the same anymore. RB has become... pedestrian as of late. Being infiltrated by frat boys swilling Bud Light and even some unscrupulous distributors and brewery personnel inflating the ratings of "bad beers."

BA has...even with its alternative attitudes...remained a bastion of good taste. Filtering out many of those inflated reviews.

I sighted ratebeer.com today simply because it is still considered the authority on the subject matter...and because BA didn't list 3F's DLRIS as the number one...there is nothing wrong with selective citation.

Answer 7

Living in New England - that answer would change like the weather.  I would say that my old standbys are Long Trail and Harpoon.  However, my favorite beer would be Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA.

Answer 8

miller lite. hands down.= )

Answer 9

well here in texas the best beer you can go with is shiner bock its a dark beer...and its delicious especially if you want that import taste without that import price

Answer 10

As voted by beer aficionados last year based on a composite review score it was Portsmouth Brewing's Kate the Great Russian Imperial Stout.  It also won second best in the world.  Not my favorite but a worthy winner none the less.

EDIT:

It's always weird seeing the difference between BA and RateBeer, you'd think they'd be more or less the same right?

Answer 11

Anything made by Anchor Brewing is great.  I would suggest the Porter and Steam styles.

Answer 12

sam adams winter lager, summer ale, and BOSTON LAGER
