I don't like beer. Maybe I just haven't tried enough types.
Let's see what have I had.. Busch, Budweiser, Bud light, Heineken, Milwaukees Best, Magnum & Cobra malt liquor... Oh and Icehouse and some beer with lime in it.
I think that's it...
I'm more of a liquor person. Hell even better, give me something that doesn't taste like alcohol. Like Tequila Rose or Pucker. Yum!

IPAs are probably the safest genre of beer for me, I've never really met one I didn't like. Well, one, but it didn't count for other reasons.
Among those I generally don't like as much (but again, will always drink) are "wheat" beers, anything with fruit in the title, Belgium beers, most things eastern European unfortunately, and "lite" beers.
Favorites are Octoberfests, Browns, and IPAs probably.
I'm neutral toward some like lagers, stouts, pumpkin ales, ESB's, and a few others. They can run the gamut from "meh" to delicious.
For specific beers, Brew Kettle's Copperhead Red:

A few ones from Great Lakes brewing:

...like their Burning River, Dortmunder, and Elliot Ness.
Sam Adam's makes a great Oktoberfest too.
And "Big Two-Hearted Ale" from Bell Brewery. An IPA, but very different from most.
I've also brewed a few of my favorites ever, or have brewed them alongside a couple of my friends who also brew, but obviously they wouldn't be recognized....
Anyone else a beer junky? Like, favorite hops, processes, styles, etc. I'm actually drinking some home brew as I type this. Good topic.
😊
Contained in this post is the greatest beer ever brewed.
That would be Two Hearted from Bells Brewery. Lived 10 minutes away from the brewery/bar, and that was my favorite beer there. They had awesome seasonal beers, but nothing ever came close to Two Hearted.

Ha! I'm actually a fan of the short stories the name is based on too (Hemingway's early work in "In Our Time"😉, so it's just awesome all around.
Bell's is a solid brewery. I'm partial to Great Lakes, but it might be because that was the microbrew I first latched onto when I began loving beer.

Anyway, on to beer.
Best beer? Well, there's so man categories that just a "best beer" doesn't really count, I feel.
In categories:
Wheat Beer:
Porter:
Stout Beers:
Pale Beers:
Dark Lagers:
Fruit Beers:
Warm Beers (beers that are made specifically to be served warm):
Sweet Beers (beers that are supposed to be sweet, which can nicely overlap with fruit beers and "Christmas" beers, at times):
Ales:Best overall?
I'd be partial to the seasonal sweet beers that are supposed to be served warm, have a hint of cinnamon, and are just right on the sweetness/sugar. They can range in flavor as most are very small batch brews that can pop-up at various events. Some are mediocre and some are absolutely wonderful.As far as a more traditional? Probaby a German brew beer:
http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/10902/42664It will obviously be "sweeter" than a bitter UK Pale or most beers for that matter, but it has a very robust flavor that even non-beer drinkers may like. It's unique, that's for sure. Good luck getting some outside of beer events. I don't know if you can purchase it online.
Cool. Not always a fan of Germans, unfortunately, but I drink most anything at least to try it.
You'd probably like this one I brewed last Christmas, which included cedar chips (soaked in the secondary fermenter), cinnamon, and essence of spruce. Tasted like an actual pine christmas tree.
