At least have a Mickey's or Steel Reserve.

Don't follow...

Most of the liquor stores around me only sell Busch, Heineken, Guinness, Natty Ice, ect. I've never heard of some of the beers you all are talking about.

Third on the menu:

Great Divide Brewing Co.'s Denver Pale Ale
http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/158/159/

Poured a nice clear amber color. Forced some head on this pour, about an inch. Dissipated within a few minutes, but retained a few spots on top. Smell is not nearly as hoppy as some of my recent brews. This one smells sweet and spicy. Taste has a hint of spice. Mouth-feel is pleasant, a little dry, just enough to warrant another taste. Produces lacing all the way down the glass. Very overall enjoyable Pale Ale. Great Divide suggests pairing with grilled burgers, couldn't agree more.

A LOT of the ones I post are only found in Colorado...

However,
Sam Adam's is national.
Stone Brewing I've found in CO as well as WI.
New Belgium and Great Divide I think are only available in CO, unless you can find a unique liquor store.

You know where I get all my beer? Whole Foods. I'm sure there's probably one close to you. Go to your nearest whole foods and be amazed at the beer selection.

The closest Whole Foods is 50 miles away

damn... fail.

I'd go nuts if I could only drink the mainstream beer brands.

I don't drink beer enough to go mad, but if I had the chance to try different beers I would. Maybe I'll look at different liquor stores around here.

 

[joe7987]

I don't drink often... like 2 beers a week usually. However, when I have a beer, I want something good.

ABC Liquor usually sells Lambics, but they're expensive. If you haven't tried one though, I would highly suggest it. Framboise/Raspberry is one of the more popular flavors.

 

[SlowTEC]

You definitiely should. If I was forced to choose between mainstream beers and liquor, it would definitely be liquor...

Here I am with my buddies on the Corona factory

Everybody likes liquor better before they're 21. I don't know if it's possible to gain a true appreciation of beer until you can go out and buy new kinds for yourself... then you realize how shitty bud and coors / all other beers that people bring to parties are.

Tried a few new ones over the weekend. These are images off Google fyi.

 

[Hecz]

I chilled with a old friend on sat. we had some millers. i should of really brought the left overs home,... man i would drink that right now. oh well,.

 

[joe7987]

How is turbodog?

 

[ImportFan1]

It was actually my least favorite of any of the ones I had. I drank it but probably wouldn't get it again. Seemed to bitter to me.
