I had this beer once called Skullspliter Ale, it was a great carmel malt ale brewed in the Orkney Isles. Soooo good but almost impossible to find.
On the whole though I think my favorite brewery might be the Left Hand.
What's the best beer you ever tasted?

Ooh, that's a real toughie...I've had about 300 different beers in my time...and Skull Splitter is damn good, there's a store near me that sells the stuff.
But if I had to pick for a best overall beer - sorry Guinness, but it goes to Young's Luxury Double Chocolate Stout. It's the smoothest, creamiest beer I've ever seen. Incredible. And yes, it does taste like chocolate.

I HONESTLY, really do love hamms and blatz. But the best is what I call fat drunk monk - I think Fransenkanner or something. The one with the monk and the gold label. Hmmmmmm.

Anderson Valley's "Poleko Gold" is a medium to high hopped pale ale (somewhere short of an IPA, but in that direction). What a beer, hops and malt are balanced beautifully. This beer is rich and full bodied without being heavy. Poleko Gold embodies what it means to be a craft beer; Poleko Gold is a beer brewer's beer. When Anderson Valley was still relatively small Poleko Gold was unfiltered. I could buy bottles of Poleko Gold at the local grocery store which had yeast sediment at the bottom of the bottle!
I love me some Bodingtons but my buddy Gopher brews a stout which has yet to be named that is utterly fantastic. Good full flavour with a sweet, slightly chocolaty/coffee finish about fourty five seconds after the pull. Really good shit. I can't believe numbers one and three are home brews (he has a california ale that's number 3).
home brew
Cheers to all fine home breweries. The best commercial I've had, has to go to Black Chocolate Stout from Brooklyn. I hear there's some fine micro brews on the north-west coast, but for the east and what I know this is it.
