Belmont Brewing Company.... Nice.
I like the beers there.
Let's see, lots of people here like Stone. Definitely can see that. Those are always good.
When I was in Europe (UK), of course have to drink Guinness, and I also got hooked on Theakston's Old Peculier.
Good stuff I've found at Trader Joe's:
Acme (the labels have pinup girls on them, the kind of thing you'd have seen back in the 1940s). I've only tried their IPA, and it's pretty decent.
Waimea Brewing Company's Luau Lager has a hula girl on the label. It's a good lager, not as watered down as things like Bud.
I still have to say that one of my all time favorites, that I don't even know if someone mentioned: Sierra Nevada. I love that stuff. I wish it came out of water fountains.
There's a bar/deli/liqour store here in Orange called the Hollingshead and they stock a few of the seasonal/rare Sierra Nevada brews that are a little harder to find. I went in there for the first time just the other day, and got the Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale from 2004. It was stored correctly, so it didn't get skunky over the last nine months (thank God), and is very excellent. It's got sort of a nice wintery spice flavor to it, but not very strong, very very subtle. I think that's what's making the weather around here feel more like winter. Ha! :)
