The Old Style is a classic. I was disappointed with the Cream Stout too, however.

Yonngs used to deliver their beer by horse drawn dray locally. A funny thing I saw one day was 2 street-wise young kids <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) --> sauntering across 6 lanes of slow moving traffic until they came across 2 huge horses pulling the dray, they stopped in their tracks <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> looked terrified and backed off a good distance taking a big detour round them with all street cred gone. <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt="" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->

I'm still trying to decide, and I'm not sure I ever could! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> There's a bit of give and take from each of my favourites. But then again, I'm known for my indecision <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

I'm very lucky in terms of a favorite. I moved from Donegal to Washington DC. And the northeast, pacific northwest and round colorado are all having a resurgence in craft beer.

Within a half hours drive of me, is Old Dominion Brewery, which makes a great Spring Ale, and to the north is Clipper City brewery (in Baltimore)

There is also a shop here called Total Wine, which has a full dunnes stores sized aisle that is only micro brew.

I think my favorites are, Thirsy Dog, Flying Dog, ESB and I got a selection pack of the Saranac brews, which were tasty too.

It changes for me almost weekly because I will pick something up, usually something different each week, just to try.

Allagash White is a tasty favorite too

Having spent most of my adult life living in West London I definitely vote Fullers! Especially ESB of which I've probably had more pints over the years than I've had hot meals! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> Also love their 1845 and Vintage Ales in bottle and their occasional appearance in draught form. Certainly miss their beers since moving back to Dublin but at least there are bottles readily available. Am currently sipping a bottle of Golden Pride as I write. mmmmmm....

[color=olive:2ndf2mgp]Brewer, hmmm. Armand Debelder and 3 Fonteinen spring to (my) mind. Maybe not easy to get everywhere...[/color:2ndf2mgp]
