I respect your right to have and express your opinion ,but I do not necessarily respect your opinion.
If,at the end of the day,most that you have had contact with do not feel worse,maybe even feel better,then you have had a good day.
I'm drinking scotch now rather than beer. However, I love a good craft beer.
My favourite.
I like Stout best, particularly Rasputin.

The Old Rasputin is top shelf.
Best thing about Arrogant $#@! Ale is reading the hilarious description on the back of the bottle.
I drove up to Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon last month. They're a business partner and we've been getting free beer from them, which is very good, but I get tired of the same beer all the time. I like their Hophenge IPA.
Russian River Brewing (Santa Rosa, Ca) company is also a business partner and I stop at their brewery on my bi-monthly route to drink a Pliny the Elder
Green Flash is a favorite, out of San Diego.
My standard purchase is Sierra Nevada Torpedo extra IPA, which never disappoints
I'm not a beer snob though. I'll drink Coors or PBR. I actually drink an occasional 40 ouncer or two of Old English 800 malt liquor, which horrifies my friends.
Basically, I like any beer that's pure beer and doesn't have fruit or herbs or lemon rind, etc..
I'm not really huge on beer so basically whatever light beer is available i'll drink it if i'm in the mood for it. I do like drinks with rum in it though when I get the chance to drink them.

It is a myth that Aussies drink Fosters. Most places dont even have it. Especially not on tap.
The two traditional big beer brands are Tooheys and Victoria Bitter.
I am from NSW so like any decent New South Welshmen I drink Tooheys New. I also like Toohey Extra Dry which has higher alchohol content. edit- or it did I thought. Platinum does anyway.

For the Love of BeerManufacturer Tooheys – Lion Nathan Introduced 1930 Alcohol by volume 4.6% Style Lager
What I hate is light beer. What is the point of it. Why drink beer if you are not trying to get drunk? Does it really taste that great?

Manufacturer Tooheys - Kirin Alcohol by volume 4.6% Style Lager
And if you want to spoil yourself you go with Platinum.
In May 2006, Tooheys Extra Dry Platinum, a beer with increased alcohol content of 6.5%, was launched, with the first shipment selling out in days. It is sold in 8-packs as opposed to the traditional 6-packs most bottled beers are packaged in.
(:
I like Vodka the best. It is the cleanest alcoholic drink. I will also drink whiskey.

Australia has good beer stock, not talking about Fosters either.
Haven't seen it for literally decades but I used to buy a bottle conditioned stout made by Coopers in quart-ish sized bottles. Really good stuff.

If you drink stout you dont really need food. (: Its a great drink for alcohilics.
My Dad says he used to drink a heap when he was a young borderline alcho before he met my mother. (: I cought him a can of stout a while ago as a joke. He doesnt drink really these days.
What is the deal with the widget? I have never really drunk a stout I dont think.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widget_(beer)A widget is a device placed in a container of beer to manage the characteristics of the beer's head. The original widget was patented in Ireland by Guinness. The "floating widget" is found in cans of beer as a hollow plastic sphere, 3 cm in diameter (similar in appearance to a small table tennis ball) with a small hole in one side. The "rocket widget" is found in bottles, 7 cm in length with the small hole at the bottom.[1]
Ahh. I could hear the widget in the can of guinness that I bought for my Dad.
Sounds kinda dangerous really.

Anything dark+salty. Sam Adams seems to be my favorite, in that I drink it at least 10 times more than any other beer, but that could just be for the widespread availability. I only had it once at Cigar & Brewfest, but I would say my most desired beer is a chocolate schwarzbier. Also had a cherry chocolate beer once that was to die for.
And I won't waste my time with anything yellow. Has to be brown or darker. No stout either. That stuff tastes like $#@!.
