    WHICh beer do you guys find yourself going back to again and again?  Mine might be laguintas ipa
    Im such a snob I won’t drink that anymore since they sold out to heinken. But it used to be a go to for years. 

    Mine are Bells Two Hearted and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. 
    I don't get too caught up in the whole "selling out" thing.  As long as it's still good quality, I'll drink it....I haven't noticed much a drop off from Lagunitas since they sold to Heineken.  Lagunitas definitely isn't my first choice...I'm much more likely to go with a local brew.  Goose Island quality is garbage(except for BCS) since they sold to AB.

    Hoptical Illusion is a terrible beer now too since it was bought out.

    You’re both absolutely right. Lagunitas hasn’t dropped off much- I just like to stick with the small guys.

    Probably revolution anti hero for an easy to find anywhere type beer. There are others I like much more though.

    It's an imperial stout kinda evening. Cuvee delphine from Struise, absolutely fantastic.

    ^ Wow does that look good. I was thinking about knocking down a few IPAs tonight but might have to call an audible and go with some stouts.

    My "good ol' standbys" are Anchor Steam, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Bell's Two-Hearted Ale, Abita Purple Haze, and (yes) Killian's Irish Red.
