I enjoy Dogfish Head's offerings, 60 Minute IPA (6% ABV) with food, and 90 Minute (9%) or Burton Baton (10%) w/o food. Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale or Pale Ale, local Atlanta's Sweetwater and Red Hare both have good IPAs, and Terrapin Hopsecutioner (Athens, GA) it good, too. On the lighter side, I enjoy Stella with a nice dinner and Shiner Bock or Yuengling for slumming. I got my introduction to Yuengling hiking through Pennsylvania on the Appalachian Trail in 1995 - 65 cents a glass in Port Clinton - and then it showed up on the Gulf Coast the next year before its Atlanta debut behind Bud's distribution muscle.
