All time favorite beer is Rogue Dead Guy Ale from Newport, OR.
Other favorites:
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and their Kellerweis. That Kellerweis is amazing. Their brewery in NC is a must see.
From Dogfish Head, their 90 Minute IPA is phenomenal if you like IPAs. They pull off a 120 minute that is very hard to find. Their session sour is currently my favorite poolside/beach beer:
Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy is my other favorite poolside. It's pretty much half lemonade.
Breckenridge's Vanilla Porter is huge favorite:
As well as Oskar Blues Ten Fidy:
As well as New Holland's Dragon Milk:
For mowing the grass and hot Florida outdoor projects... any of the light domestics work fine to stay hydrated. I just want them ice cold.
Hell, I could go on and on. The more I type, the more I think of.
