Today I had a Weyerbacher Simcoe Double IPA (fantastic at 5.99 for 22oz bomber) and am currently enjoying a New Belgium Hoptober (their fall seasonal and current fave in the house).
Seems we've been enjoying a little more beer than wine lately...perhaps a byproduct of an economic state of mind.
Dogzilla Black IPA
Sure, it's a contradiction in terms, and is actually neither, but still fills the glass with goodness.
This is my first beer in months that is not a lager/Pilsner. Seasons are changing.

Sierra Nevada "Torpedo" - their double IPA
Samuel Smiths - Pale Ale
Not Drinking - any of these lime beers or lemonade beers - someone brought these over and they are truly awful. but, on the "bright" side, my 6 year old son thought that the lemonade flavored beer was "yummy". Maybe these are the new wine coolers from my youth (not that I ever liked those, but who knows!!?!?).

Just got a special order delivery from importer Shelton Bros.
My fav = Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel! Aphrodite (Stoudt with real cocoa and vanilla beans), Canada.
My definition of a dessert beer. Cocoa off the charts, richness abounds. 6.5% ABV

I tried a Bud Light Golden Wheat yesterday; only slightly more flavor than a regular Bud Light.
Newcastle Brown Ale
Went to quiz night with friends at the local pub tonight. Our team finished last again. We are not very deep in British history or pop culture. Fullers ESB made finishing last very enjoyable though. 
I got the last glass of Bell's Oberon on tap at a local pub. They said it would be months before they could get it back on tap again.

I just had the Alagash Triple Belgium - Yummy. Looking forward to the Alagash 4 Barrel and the Ommegang "Biere de Mars" which is refermented with brettanomyces.
Waiting for T-Bird to come by for this one...

Considering where I live, it has to be a Kona. Tonight, it's their Dry Stout and some barley wine. My head's spinning already just thinking about it
Lagunitas Lucky 13 Mondo Large Red Ale.
I have not read the entire thread, but have any of you tried Sweetwater's beers. They are from Atlanta, and have four main lines, 420, Georgia Brown, IPA and Blueberry. They are five or so seasonals with names such as Festive Ale, Happy Ending and Wet Dream. I visited their brewery yesterday and was very impressed. They are only in five or six southeastern US states.
I picked up a Leinenkugels sampler pack for my Iowa Hawkeyes game tomorrow against Michigan State. Any left over will be drank with the Vikings Steelers game on sunday.
Long Trail Ale from Vermont and Brooklyn Brewery are both excellent.
The other night I drank too much Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA. This has become one of my favourite beers, anywhere.
