That is a lot like asking who is the most beautiful woman in the world.....

Too many choices to pick just one.

This for sure.

One memorable one for me was cigar city vuja de in the tasting room. It was my gateway sour and I caught the bugs from that, no pun intended

Hanuphu Day at Cigar City in Tampa. I stood in line for a 5oz pour of barrel aged Dark Lord. I was pissed I was pissing away so much of the day for that. 2 levels of irony...

First, the best part of the day was sharing the keg of homebrew i brought with new friends while waiting in line for an hour and a half. The second was the greatest 5 oz of beer I ever had. It's worth the hype. End of story.

I was there that day too, and I was lucky to be geeking out with some guy who ended up waiting in the DL line who gave me a sip. No kidding it sure was awesome. I am still sitting in the 4 bottles of hunahpu I got. I should drink some soon as that is damn fine brew

De Koninick .......at many different bars in Antwerp

 

[Pastorken]

John Smiths Extra Smooth! Hard to find but lives up to the motto "Pure silk in a glass " I even hear it with a British accent. Runner up, Sam Adams Millennium but that's what I call a sippin' beer!

 

[theblaster]

The comment about this choice being somewhat like choosing the most beautiful woman in the world is spot on (Scarlett johanssen).

It might be the glass of hoegarten I had in Germany that opened my eyes to wheat a decade ago. Or the first Pliny I had with friends shortly after we were talking about how we all loved hoppy beers and should each bring a few new beers to our next vacation (we all live in different parts of CA). Or the little something wild growler at the KOA down the street from the Lagunitas beergarden.

Time and place and the company one is keeping have so much to do with it.

Old Rasputin on draft at Patterson's Pub in Mendocino, Ca.

Great beer

Blue point on long island has an unbelievable white IPA really crisp hops and spicy belgian yeast. if you have availability of it

I'll have to give it a go next time I buy some beer. Thanks!

I agree with the idea that the experience matters just as much as the beer itself. After my freshman year of college, and drinking Milwaukee's best and keystone light all year, a friend of mine and I split a six pack of yuengling. I have had it since, and it tastes like a normal mass produced lager, but nothing will match those three beers I had back then.

Besides that, I really like the Back in Black IPA from 21st Amendment.

 

[Beerbeque]

I think the best tasting beer I ever had was a Bud or maybe it was a Coors, but It was the first beer in a week after a backpacking trip and at the end of the trail was a bar. I was hot and tired. Man was that beer good!

 

[Matterpro]

The 2011 (512) Brewery Whisky Barrel Aged Double Pecan Porter. Best beer to touch my lips. This year's offering was great, they switched up the barrels to a different Whisky and it lost some of the smoothness of last year's offering.

There are 2 beers that made me WOW more than any other else so far.

Troegs' Nugget Nectar
and
New Belgium's La Folie

My fiancee and I were looking for a little neighborhood beer bar near our hotel in NYC when we were there for a long weekend. I wanted to have a quick beer before a day of sightseeing and museums with my bro who lives there. We found this little place on 106th and Columbus that had just opened at 11:00 AM and stopped in and sat right beside the front window that they had just opened and we could touch the sidewalk from there. Ordered a Delirium Tremens and onion rings for breakfast and that DT was the best either of us had ever tasted. It's far from my favorite beer - although the style is about my fav - but on tap and with the highly positive vibe we had going, it was sublime.

My buddy brought me a fresh growler of SN Hoptimum. That was a great evening.

It's a tie between that and a bomber of Union Jack I had recently... i've had UJ many times but that bomber was amazing.

 

[MoreHops]

Granite's "Peculiar" (Halifax, NS) and Driftwood's Fat Tug IPA (Victoria, BC). And I absolutely loved the Guinness straight out of the tap at St. James Gate in Dublin...

 

[whitebirdfeathers]

Some of my homebrews are my favorites. But if I'm going with store bought I would say Fat Tug from Driftwood. If you can find it I highly recommend it.

3 liter bottle of Stone Double Bastard, sadly I had to share

 

[innocent75]

My best beer: too many variables and choices.

My most memorable: first batch of Irish red ale.
Turns out my sanitizing wasn't up to snuff and it was like a mouthful of vinegar.

Only batch I ever ruined. So not too bad on that front. Just something I will NEVER forget. Crushed pride

 

[Qhrumphf]

That's a tough one cause it really depends on the situation, but I'd probably have to say Cantillon Iris.

 

[ContinuousD]

The Lost Abbey Judgement Day on tap.
Bottles are great but draft is insane.

Velvet merkin on nitro at Firestone Walker brewery.

 

[Steadfast707]

Pliney the Elder, Incognito Saison from Undercover Aleworks and Boneyard's RPM IPA

 

[SiriusStarr]

Pliny the Younger and Damnation Batch 23 in the same night, two nights in a row. My favorite DIPA and Belgian.

 

[organ]

tossup between Parabola and Peruvian Morning

 

[founder26]

toss up between fresh heady topper, or aged kbs.

Rochefort 10 at In De Wildeman in Amsterdam. Ambiance and state of mind always come into play.

This is something that seems to change whenever I go on travel (and buy great beers). This time, surprisingly, it was in Hawai'i (a terrible place for great beer). My top three were:

3. Liquid Breadfruit (Maui / Dogfish collaboration)
2. Maracaibo Especial (Jolly Pumpkin)
1. 3 Fonteinen Oud Geuze

If I'd stuck to ABC stores, Duvel would head the list.

For straight pounding...its Yuengling Lager, otherwise its Great Lakes Brewing Edmund Fitzgerald
