If I gotta', my choice is Ole' Pale Ale No. 55 from Bird Creek Brewery just
out of Anchorage, Alaska. A good bottle will always have just the tiniest of
dregs in the bottom. When the brewery was starting up test batch #55 proved
to be the perfect brew. Thus the name.

In order:
1. Guinness Extra Stout, the stuff in the bottles, not on tap or in the
exploding cans. Served at room temperture.
1a. A good black n' tan. Nothing like a good chemistry/physics
lesson with your libation.
2. Whatever's the local microbrew. Columbu Brewing Co. and Cleveland's
Burning River are two frequently sampled labels.
3. The seasonal beers that Sam Adams puts out only in Boston.

Well, my advice is stay away from the cheap stuff. That idea kept me
sober and out of trouble in college. There are enough different kinds of
beer, that if you want, you will eventually find something you like. Think
of it as a quest.
But to each their own.
Do you have a blender and ice in your Westy? ;)
