| I like the refreshing flavor of Bud Light. Nice thing about is it makes you feel relaxed while taking it easy at home. |

As evident by my name I'm a big fan of DogfishHead 60 min I.P.A.
Also Blue Point Brewery's "Hoptical Illusion" is a great micro brew and it's made right on Long Island.

I like Sierra IPA. A lot.
I recently started doing some homebrewing. I just finished drinking a batch of Anchor Steam clone. Excellent and easy to brew. I just bottled a batch of American Pale Ale, a Smuttynose clone, which should be ready for consumption in about a month.
A decent beer bar opened up in Shelton about a year ago - Bar 140. It has a great revolving selection of craft brews on tap and bottle. |

| I'm thrilled to hear there are some good beer drinker son here I am fortunate enough to work for a distributor that specializes in craft beer so I'm well versed in beer. I have had most of the beers mentioned here my favorite local brewery is definitely New England I really love their Ghandi Bot a double IPA. Blue point dog fish and Sierra make some great beers as we'll personally I like 90 minute best from dogfish but I love lagunitas a lot as well. |

Langunitas is another favorite of mine. Haven't tried anything of theirs that wasn't awesome.

Not sure if it qualifies as a craft beer but my favorite at this time is Shiner Bock. The only problem there is the closest place to get it is Southeastern Pa..

| Lagunitas makes some great beers. I just tried the Maximus IPA and "A Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale"...both were pretty good. |

+1 for Lagunitas. Their IPA, Pils, Sucks and Cappuccino Stout are all great. Depending on what's on tap Ten Penny Ale is also another favorite.
A friend of mine just started up http://www.bottleselect.com. You can buy by the bottle and some are also available as Growler FIlls, a great way to try a wide range of craft brews.
