I get tired of drinking the same old beer all the time and I am always on the lookout for something different. I like the full bodied stuff(like I like my women). Any suggestions?

Most are local brew stuff, where do you live?

I am in southwest Arkansas. I tried some Portland Original Honey Beer tonight that a friend brought over with him and it wasn't bad.

Sierra Nevada is a favorite of mine, all of their beers are pretty hoppy and full.

I like a lot of the stuff from Stone Brewery (in San Diego might be difficult to find), anything from Pyramid, Fat Tire, anything from Paulaner.

Firestone Double Barrel Ale
Kona Long Board Lager
Stone Pale Ale
I usually have any of these 3 on tap.
Or just home brew. I make a killer red that usually is the first keg to go at parties.

..Fat Tire is on the top of my list currently, great flavor..not as micro as it was at one time. Believe it or not I like the bottle better than the tap :)

Anchor Steam (San Francisico, CA)
Sierra Nevada - Wheat or Stout (Chico, CA)
Steel Head - Pale Ale (Blue Lake, CA)

Stone makes a number of great beers. Also, if you can find it, try Bear Republic. They are an up and coming microbrew out of Healdsburg, California.
This website will give you more ideas...

I'm with you on Stone. Their IPA, Porter, Arrogen Bastard, all are just stellar.

Make sure you read the bottle on the Arrogant Bastard, good for a chuckle. The beer's pretty good too.

It's going to be tough to find fat tire out there. At least I know it use to be.
New Belgium Brewing Company is who brews and bottles Fat Tire they also brew and bottle several other Micro Brews that are pretty tasty.
Pyramid makes a good Heff but I preffer Weidmer's heff better.
If you have a Rock Bottom Brewery in your area they sell their beers in growlers I think they are 64 oz or something like that and pretty inexpensive. The last time I went I believe it was $7 to get them filled up.

Fat Tire
Sierra Nevada
Red Hook IPA
Flying Dog Tire Bite and IPA
Anchor Steam
Old time stuff that makes my fridge regualrly- Bass and Sam Adams Lager
A favorite from Atlanta, GA that is hard to get outside the SE is Sweetwater 420. And from same city Red Brick, which is very similar to Fat Tire.
I was in Portland, OR several weeks ago and had an IPA that was something lake maybe, can't remember, excellent local brew. Steelhead was goood too.
Damn I love beer.. think I'l shut down and go drink. :cool:

Oh yeah. If you are a true beer connoisseur you might want to plan a trip to Denver in October. Every October they host The Great American Beer Festival here and have over 1,000 beers for you to sample. You pay $50 and get to drink as much beer as you can while you're there. It's always a great time and you get to try some awesome beers you'd have otherwise never even heard of.
Use of profanity is not against the law here but you can get a ticket for pissing on someones car.

Had the Pilsner recently - certainly full-bodied, but I must confess that I liked Pilsner Urquell better...

Moose Drool by Big Sky Brewing
They also had a Montana Nut Brown Ale that they introduced at the Oregon Brewers Festival back in 2003. Very nutty flavor, awesome taste!
