4. Courage Special Brew. I think that's what it was called. They had it aboard British Navy ships. I loved it.

People weren't so hung up on drinking laws back then. I didn't even know I was drinking beer. I was thirsty and looking for water but didn't find water. I don't really know beers that much. Did most of my beer sampling 20 years ago or earlier in my college days and haven't sampled different beers since. I did try something my brother was drinking but didn't care for it.
I will go with IPA or DIPA but I really dig a lot of styles from Belgians to traditional German styles
2. Favorite mass produced domestic beer?
Sam Adams I guess
3. Favorite craft beer?
This is almost impossible there are just way to many good ones.
Maibok - Rogue Dead Guy
Local NC IPA Foothills - Jade IPA

Belgian St. Bernardus Abt 12. I would say Westvletern 12 but that is hard to get even in Belgium (I have 10 bottles hidden away).
German - Weihenstephan
5. Bonus: Favorite malt liquor?
Olde English 800 - 64oz . 40's are for girly men.
I am a huge beer nerd, home brew and have won some awards in competitions. I have been learning it for a while from a friend who has been doing this for over 30 years and if given the chance could make amazing beers on a craft brewery scale if given the chance.

I used to like Sam Adams an Belgian lagers. However, gluten intolerance had reared its ugly head. My gluten-free favorites, in order:
Daura
Bard
Red Bridge
Can't stand: Omission
I also go with hard ciders like Angry Orchard, Stella cider, and Strong's
My son-in-law is a darn good brewer and quite often does dark sled with the gluten removed. I haven't met one that I didn't like.
Not bad for a sunday outside of footbal season
1. Favorite style of beer (wheat, Porter, lager, stout, IPA, Belgian, etc)?
I like almost all beer, I'll even drink cheap shitty beer if someone offers me some. I guess stouts can be a little heavy, and some IPAs have a little too much bite in the aftertaste.
2. Favorite mass produced domestic beer?
Sam Adams, Blue Moon.
3. Favorite craft beer?
I go to a lot of restaurants that specialize in having lots of craft beers so I could name plenty. But right now, a local tap bar in the metro area makes great (expensive) beers now being sold at liquor stores. It's called B.Nektar, the first one I tried was Zombiekiller.
4. Favorite import beer?
Stella.
5. Bonus: Favorite malt liquor?
Don't think it.
2. I just know I don't like Stella Artois. Only had it a couple of times and it has a skunky aftertaste to me...like a skunk smell might taste.
3. When I lived in Kentucky, I really liked Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale and Blackberry Porter from Alltech/Lexington Brewing. Here in the NW I like Bale Breaker IPA, Space Dust IPA, and Ninkasi Oatis Stout.

5. Don't think I've had malt liquor.
