Their Coffee Stout (not actually made with coffee, just tasty like it) and Uff-Da (a bock) are delicious, and their Belgian Red (a tart cherry ale, sold in 750 ml bottles) is what sold me on them in the beginning. I was mired in woe when, a few years ago, they decided they wanted to deprive everyone in Illinois of their beer, and focus just on Wisconsin ... then I decided that it is a fine four hour road trip up there, through some beautiful country, so I can still have my fix when I want some Belgian Red. -- Three Floyds, over in Munster, Indiana, and Dogfish Head, in Milton, Delaware, are also favorites... Definitely check out the Dogfish Head Olde School if you get a chance; it's a barleywine-style ale and oh so tasty. If it weren't 10:51AM, I'd have one right now!

Three Floyds, over in Munster, Indiana, and Dogfish Head, in Milton, Delaware, are also favorites… Definitely check out the Dogfish Head Olde School if you get a chance; it’s a barleywine-style ale and oh so tasty. If it weren’t 10:51AM, I’d have one right now!

I've had the Anchor Steam at Bodeans (Rib place in Soho, case you don't know) and it's most drinkable. From what I've seen there are fantastic local breweries all over the US, certainly beers from Boston and the NY area have gone down well at the GBBF Bieres sans Frontiers bar years past. One I've drunk a fair amount of is Abida, a brewery in a spring town north of New Orleans. They have an ruby ale called Turbo Dog which is most pleasent, and a wheat blackcurrent beer called Purple Haze. Seek them out.

Both are available through Trader Joes out here in CA. Those are just a couple on the darker, stouter end of things.
