For the past couple of years I've been drinking a lot of local beers. My favorite local beer is Good People Snake Handler. It's a double IPA with a 10 abv that is only canned a couple of times a year so it makes it hard to buy at the store or even specialty beer shops. I also tried and liked a beer out of Brooklyn by Sixpoint brewery called Resin. It's also a double IPA with a 9.1 abv that's really good but too expensive to buy on a regular basis. But when I'm watching a game with my father-in-law we typically drink Budweiser.
Sound like some really good beers.
Love the six point, they have a bar on Varrick st. In NYC, that has every six point brew on tap.
My brothers drink Bud as their swill beer, I prefer Miller lite for that in the yard BBQin on a hot day for a swill.
