Hi all,

After Thanksgiving, I am planning on hosting a beer tasting with friends. What are some of your favorites?

Thanks all for the help,
Hán Fēi

Stella, Carling and loads more... I'll try and update this later.

You have to try Stella, its from my homeland. In England we call it woman beater, because it makes you really angry when you drink it. I love it.

Our local grocery has the Stella, Guiness, Grolsc, Becks, MGD, Sapporo, Amstel and Foster's.  There's a higher end grocery on the other side of town that might have the others.  Thanks!

I'll def have to get Stella. haha

Newcastle Nut Brown Ale was one not listed
 
Edit: New Glarus is a micro brew thats by far my favorite. They have a variety of seasonals
        and they are almost all delicious ... youre high end store might have this.

i went to this nice bar recently and bought this beer called St. Theresa and it was really good. i'm guessing it's expensive though since i paid $5.75 for a 16 oz. gla**. i also had a good beer called Hebrew- Messiah Bold and i paid 11 bucks for a 6 pack (i believe it was 6% alcohol). i'm guessing they won't have these were you're from though.

Stella is disgusting... we call it "wife beater" over here in the UK.

Try Hoegaarden, Bitburger and Old Speckled Hen.  And if you're having cider, kopperberg is fake flavoured fruit cider... you should try Jacques instead, oh and I recommend Perronelle's Blush, they lace it with blackberry lequeur and it has a lovely aftertaste Thumbs Up

I mostly just drink regular beer like Carlsberg, Fosters, Becks, Tennents among others.  But i also like a bit of real ale like Thwaites Lancaster Bomber, Hobgoblin and Wytchcraft.  All good stuff :).
