That anchor porter looks tasty! Newcastle has been my favorite for a long time, but I think I have recently Fat Tire from New Belgium has been on the top of my list.
Most any beer is good, just depends on who you are sharing it with. Friend of mine who I have known for 40 years drinks whatever is the cheapest that day. It may not be the best, or what I would buy, but sitting and BSing with him it always tastes good. 
Right now I am really missing some good Tanzanian Beer or should I say I am now out! NO it wasn't me that brought a whole suit case back was it? :Wow1:
While there I liked to drink REDD'S with my barbecued chicken, then move on to Tuskers or Kilimanjaro later in the evening. Wish I could find something like REDD'S here. Lots of really good wines over there as well. Ok thinking about it I have to look into another trip over in a couple of months, or sooner!
Oh and the REDD'S is only 4.5 % I think but nice, light and smooth. Don't like the thick chewy stuff. ha ha

I like Blue Moon's Seasonal Full Moon Winter Ale in a proper half pint glass. I used to drink out of a pint glass because I figured half pints were for women. But, I realised this was perception instilled by people that drink warm beer and eat bland food. Half pints are always fresh and cold.
The beer on the left was a camping trip. One day we'll go back to San Marcos for a refill

A reletively new trend has been blends of the California IPA and Belgian Trippel. They are truly amazing brews with extraordinary depth of flavor and complexity. Stone makes a nice one called Cali-Belgie that's very mellow for this style and would serve as a good introduction for the variety.
My personal favorite is Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen IPA Tripel from Brasserie d'Achouffe Brewery in Belgium. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/321/27804
Also excellent is LeFreak from Green Flash Brewing Co out of San Diego. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/2743/36727
Overall, for incredible flavor and drinking experience, nothing compares to Pliny the Elder from the Russian River Brewing Co in CA. This one is worth seeking out if you've never had it - it will change your perspective on beer. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/863/7971/

How did I miss this thread?!? Wow, in the short time I've been legal, I've collected many favorites...
Magic Hat's Circus Boy is my absolute favorite currently
Sweaty Betty
Red Stripe
Foster's (I've heard the giant can doesn't compare to tap, but can never find it on tap anywhere)
Killian's Irish Red
Yazoo beers are amazing, and local to me (Nashville)
Rolling Rock is by far my favorite "cheap" beer
PBR is great any day, and affordable
Bud Heavy I prefer over Light or Select, but they're all good (B/S 55 is NOT though)...
Coors and Coors light
Heineken
I'll stop there... Circus Boy is my all time favorite currently (I'm a college student though, and don't have the money to buy it all the time)... Any of Magic Hat's offerings are good...

I'm a huge fan of hoppy IPAs but I also do like a lot of other styles as well. My favorite breweries are probably Green Flash, Rogue, and Stone. I'll second the recommendation for Pliny, which is superb. Sierra Nevada's Torpedo and the Lagunitas IPA are solid offerings too. So many beers, so little time...
Oh wait, just thought of another, El Toro Brewing's Imperial IPA is really good, as is their Poppy Jasper IPA, especially with some of the extra hop options.
Last year I had Rogue's "Santa's Private Reserve" from the tap at their Newport HQ restaurant, and it was maybe the best thing ever. The way it led me through a series of wonderful flavors was incredible. Unfortunately when we were back this last November they didn't have it on tap.
Two of my good friends who live nearby brew their own, so I often "help" and I'm now a big fan of fresh homebrews. I'm hoping to start brewing my own this year.
