That's impossible for me personally to say because it all depends on the mood one is in. But, my personal favorite ever is Franziskaner and I drink cases of them all the time. I also loooove Weyerbacher's Imperial Pumpkin Ale (and DFH's Punkin). I find myself drinking Asahi in the big 1 liter cans a lot when I want a lighter crisp beer. Oh, one of my favorites was Wicküler Pilsener, very unique taste IMO for a german pilsner (to which a number have very similar tastes). I've heard they went out of business though.

I'm too new at brewing to be able to list my own yet.

Rev.

1878, Delerium Tremens, Biere du Boucanier (spelling), schoefferhoffer (spelling again) krstalviezen & Heff. Man, maybe I do need stationed in Western Germany next

All-time all-time? Ballast Point Sculpin, Cigar City Hunahpu's Mexican Imperial Stout, Lost Abbey Red Poppy, Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus, Westvleteren Blonde

More readily available? Bell's Two-Hearted Ale, Orval, St Bernardus Abt 12, Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen, Goose Island Sofie

A few of my Favs Include
BrewDog Hardcore IPA

Oskar Blues Old Chub
Lagunitas Censored copper Ale.
