No ****, mine was a Longhammer IPA after a Metallica concert. Shows that sometimes beer is more about the experience that the beer. Yelling all night and only having Bud available for $9 made that Longhammer the most fragrant, malty, and delicious beer I've ever had.

I've had a lot of good ones that are better than that since then but in that moment it was the best beer ever.

Other than that. St Arnold Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout
 
No awesome story with mine. But the best beer I've ever had was an Ayinger Ur-Weisse.
 
Coors light fresh out of the snowbank. Something about drinking almost frozen crap beer when it's 0 degrees outside in the snow covered mountains.
 
Kate the Great!!!!! Its a toss up between the real deal from the Portsmouth Brewery (which has won the best beer in the world award) and my homebrew version. Amazing, truly amazing.
 
I've had a lot of beers in a lot of places, but Sam Adam's Boston Lager on draft at Hames pub in Racine, WI repeatedly over performs for me. I don't know why, but it always tastes perfect to me there.
 
A Cuvee Van De Keizer blue 2005 vintage at the Kulminator in Antwerpen. It was amazing after 6 years in bottles (I have a 2000 vintage saved for New years eve)
 
Rodenbach in Paris before it became available in the States
 
Rodenbach Vintage 2007 Flanders Red.

Flemish sours are my favorites and this was so balanced, complex, and drinkable.
 
Seems big commercial beers are winning the polls!

My favorite is one of my own homebrews. The first all-grain I brewed and the first one I had my basic temperature control, pitching rates, etc. in place. Bee Cave Haus pale ale. It was really good, not just "I made this" good, but definitely the best beer I had to that point (although I am not a fan of the big beers winning the votes here :) ).
 
Love pale ales and IPA's and am fortunate enough to live in San Diego close enough to Alpine brewing. Man, it's hard to choose a best from them, but Exponential Hoppiness kills it for me. Hoppy
Birthday from them is the best pale ale I've ever had as well.
 
1997 JW Lees Harvest Ale...

JW Lee's is the best darned barley wine ever. Too bad it's in such short supply in the USA. I could probably get my stomached pumped after a keg and then have another pint :)
