For me, it's the Oldest Brewery in America.........Yuengling. The Yuengling brewery has been in operation since 1829 in Pottsville, Pa. They are the original "micro" brewery. Whereas Anheuser-Busch has breweries in nearly every state, Yuengling has only had one until just about 5 years ago when they bought the old Schlitz brewery in Tampa, Florida. They have an absolutely exquisite lager, and a light version of that as well. They also sport a great, full-bodied dark called Black and Tan. This goes great with most meals, but especially well with red meat and Italian food.
Next in line would be a beer that is immensly popular in Wisconsin called Linenkugel (not sure of the spelling). I've only had this a couple of times, but as I don't travel out of state anymore, I don't get the opportunity to have it anyway, so Yuengling is my brand. Now, what's yours. Is there a beer you think I just have to try. Cause I will, just dare me.
Just kidding of course. I like mostly blended Scotch whisky myself, and if one can be found that is affordable and smooth, I love it. I could drink B&B or Hennessey forever, but here in South Carolina, that stuff is a bit beyond my normal budget and has to remain the occassional celebratory libation for sure. So if my tastes are for something a bit stronger than beer, I usually pick Scoresby or Black Velvet. Scoresby is my preference because I honestly feel like it is way underpriced. Either way, on the occassions when I am enjoying the scotch, you can usually find me on my front porch rocker, listening to something VERY soothing, and gently puffing on one of my pipes filled with a good aged Virginia tobacco. Ahhhhh, life is indeed good. 
Old Milwaulkee is an imported beer here. 
!!! If it came down to a choice of dying and drinking any of those cheap, old men's beers, I'd have to sit down and think it over 
It's something he always really enjoyed, so I'm hoping he'll get a chance to get back to it this winter. If he does, I'll let you all know what he brews and how it turns out. (Just to show you how keen he was on brewing, he was in the middle of a batch when I went into Labor with our eldest. He told the Doctor what he was doing, and they both decided he should finish before we left for the hospital!!)
