Best beer

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.

Spring is here...Bell's tapped the Oberon today!

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.

Bells is from Kalamazoo Michigan (est. 1985) and the original location includes the Eccentric Cafe tavern, a music venue, beer garden and the original brewery where a wide variety of small batch microbrews are still crafted.
Bells distributes beer, from their production brewery in neighboring Galesburg, MI, to 19 states, including NY. You can find it here;

If the snow ever melts, I can sometimes be found in the Beer Garden after a group bicycle ride, or at other times.

Ptm,

Bell's is widely available here in upstate NY. Try their Two Hearted Ale - quite nice.
