Subject: Beers of the World Unite!

I'd like to hear what some of your favorite beers are. I always like to 
experiment with new drinks, and am always in the market for some suggestions 
for new brands to try.

Living in Canada, mine are mostly Canadian made, but that doesn't mean I don't 
like some imports. I tend to drink a lot of Big Rock beers (brewed in my 
hometown of Calgary). They have all kinds of great varieties, but their best 
is their "Traditional Ale", which knocks the socks off of most other beers 
I've tried (okay, so I admit that I may be biased, but it's just great stuff). 
I also like "Upper Canadian Ale", which if I am not mistaken, is brewed right 
outside of Toronto. It's got a similar hearty, flavourful character that my 
beloved Big Rock has. As far as the big name brands go, Molson Canadian is 
okay, but best served on a nice warm day/night (when pretty much anything will 
taste better).

As far as imports go, I'm a fan of Guinness... in fact, I'd have to say I love 
it. It gets such a bad rap from people, but I doubt most of them have ever 
even tried it (or are they even beer drinkers?!) It's got so much flavour and 
character to it. The award for best "hot summer day" beer definately goes to 
Corona (the beer that got me drinking beer in the first place). However, it's 
just not the same unless you stuff a slice of lime down the neck. Nothing like 
sitting on the patio of my parents' place in Tucson and sipping down a couple 
of those.

How about everyone else?
