Kokanee gets my nod.

I second the Fuller's Stout, Nonoise.
Their ESB is another go-to choice for me.
Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout is also a favorite anytime we have 3 feet of snow on the ground.
Goose Island - Sofie - 6.5%.
Belgian Style Farmhouse Ale.
Brewer's Notes: Fermented with wild yeasts and aged in wine barrels with orange peel, Sofie is a tart, dry, sparkling ale. A subtle, spicy white pepper note, a hint of citrus from the orange peel and a creamy vanilla finish.
It seems one can't go wrong with any of Fuller's brews. Like Mitch2 says, their ESB is fine and I really like their London's Pride as well. Right now I'm savoring some Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale, a might fine ale if there ever was one.

Oh, and Deschute's Obsidian Stout is quite tasty, imparting only hints of chocolate and coffee instead of bombarding you with them.
Haven't ever seen anything from Bells here in New York. Seems like a west coast favorite that stays in its own backyard.

Fullers is a no-brainer, especially on tap. I'm a porter lover and Fullers Porter ranks right up there with Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter as my faves.
