Favourite Brews

So about 7 months ago I started working in a liquor store, and we sell the largest selection of beer in Calgary, about 900 varieties. I do drink a lot of them and want to try more but some are just soooo good that I keep drinking them. Not to mention all the wine I have to drink so I can tell customers what they are like too.

So I just want to know what your favourite beer(s) are, maybe why you like them and where they are from? Then I hope to see if I can get my hands on some of these goodies.

To prevent confusion I figure a bit of a format is best
Brewing company - Name of Beer - Location - any other notes

My top 3 are:
Rogue - Dead Guy Ale - Oregon - MMMMM, pure amber goodness in a bottle

Wells - Banana Bread Beer - Beer brewed with real banana's, if you have never had this try it!! Its like drinking banana bread, seriously delicious.

Stieglbrauerei - Stiegl Goldbrau - Austria - A highly drinkable beer thats just better than the standard labatt or molson and is my go to beer.

What does NS drink? But please no Labatt or Molson garbage.

just started to actually really enjoy sours. I would HIGHLY recommend any of the barrel aged sours coming out of Russian River brewing, or anything from them really.

The best sour I've ever had though, and the one that broke the ice on the style for me, isn't available in bottles. If you are ever in Boulder, CO, make sure to stop by the Avery Brewing Co. Tap Room and try the Eremita. They just did their second batch of it, and it is truly amazing.

I don't really think that there is any beer that I would choose over all other beers, it just doesn't exist.

I'm also inclined to think that you won't agree with me on any of my choices either since you like Dead Guy Ale. Rogue is a great brewing company but I just don't like Dead Guy.

A big favorite of mine is Golden Monkey - Victory Brewing Co. - PA

Then I love local beers, and Magic Hat has some REALLY unique tastes, No. 9 being their signature, but the Wacko is really good too.

There's tons of great beers out there, it's like Pokemon, gotta try 'em all.

anything from Ninkasi Brewing Co. I have no clue if they are nation wide yet, but out of Oregon and all of their beers are amazing. Might have to come to the PNW to get a taste

I had no idea Voodoo doughnuts was an actual shop?!?! I assume they are amazing (well maybe not so little) confectioneries that are packed full of sugary goodness.

Trout River Darkside Knight Slayer Imperial Stout. 

Holy shit- alcohol like an Imperial Stout, smooth and smoky with a little bite like a porter.  Hands down new favorite beer now, but Otter Creek Black IPA is still close behind.   

Also, have you NSers ever heard of beeradvocate.com?  You can pretty much look up any beer and see how people are liking it, describing it and comparing it to others.  Looked up the Knight Slayer for reference.

Lagunitas IPA, Boont Amber Ale or ESB, Sierra Nevada Celebration or Anniversary Ale, Stone Anniversary, and Chimay. All super fantastic.

arrogant bastard from stone ipa, lagnitas ipa and dogfish head (either 60 or 120 minute) have all been mentioned.

but also odells (90 shilling) and new belgium (fat tire and snow day) from fort collins co both make some good beers. if ur in the area try out grim brothers brew in loveland co, they've got some good shit.

Well first of all magic hat is overrated. second, to say that a flavored apricot beer is vermonts best is crazy talk. any of the following Vermont breweries consistently brew stuff that makes magic hats beer look like piss.

Hill Farmstead
Lawsons Finest Liquids
McNeills
Alchemist
