If I cannot figure out a new beer to drink or am out of homebrew then I stick to these: (no particular order)

1. DFH 90
2. Sweetwater 420
3. Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout
4. and PBR
 
My last one, my present one, and my next one...:D:mug:

I whole heartedly agree with this one. All three of them are homebrew(yes I already know what i'm gonna drink next). Other than that it would be:
1) Guinness (yeah-yeah)
2) Magic Hat #9
3) Black Radish by Weeping Radish Brewco.
 
I've seen a lot of love given to DFH, but no one has listed Raison d'Etre!

1. Ommegang Ommegeddon
2. Tommyknocker Imperial Nut Brown
3. DFH Raison d'Etre

and because its impossible to choose three, tied for 1st- Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar, 2nd- Left Hand Milk Stout, and 3rd- Shipyard Export Ale.

+1 for the love given to Spaten Optimator, only $5/bottle at Penguin Pub in Boston!

2. Mac n Jack's African Amber
3. Ommegang Three Philosopers
 
keg definition | Dictionary.com

keg=small cask. I've never seen full sized casks at a bar. still looking though.

Sorry, but there's no easy way to say this: You're wrong. Dictionary.com is useless for jargon terms. The brewing definitions between cask beer and keg beer have nothing to do with size. There are 5-liter kegs and casks of 18 Imperial gallons. It's what's inside the container that determines what you call it.

Cask beer is living, unfiltered beer served with no extraneous carbon dioxide gas. It is naturally conditioned - e.g., carbonated - in the container from which it is dispensed, and no CO2 'top pressure' is used to push the beer from the cask to the glass.

Keg beer, on the other hand, is generally filtered, artificially carbonated, dead beer racked into the keg after carbonation, served with CO2 top pressure pushing the beer from keg to tap to glass.

I've used 5-gallon Corny kegs for both types of beer, actually. One week, the 'beer out' fitting is attached to a handpump and the CO2 fitting sucking in air. The next week, the beer's going to a Perlick faucet with 10 psi of CO2 on the inlet side. Week One = Cask. Week Two = Keg.

Simple as that! :D
