What is your favorite American Beer and why?

There are thousands of breweries in the United States, both micro and major brands. Each having not just one, but many types of brew. Since I am but one man in a quest for the perfect beer; I am going to need help in finding the right one. D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., the oldest brewery in America, makes a Black & Tan that is a fantastic combination of thier Premium Beer and Dark Porter. Samuel Adams has Noble Pils that stands up to any Bohemian Pilsner. I want to know your opinion, your favorite style, brand, how it tastes compared to other beers you've enjoyed. (Include: Where you are from, Name of Beer Brewer, City & State, Type of beer, flavor, what you liked most about it. etc.)

This is a great list to find brewers you may have never heard of: http://www.highwayhome.com/foodanddrink/beer/beercompaniesunitedstates.html

I'm tired of political rhetoric

What can I say? Republican vs Democrats; it is getting to be like those 5 year olds on the playground fighting over the ball. The problem is, everyone can tell the other they are wrong, and not offer a solution. If you think something won't work, without testing it, would be like building a plane and not trying to fly. Here is my answer...chill out. Sit down with your friends over a beer and hash it out. Health Care, The War, Budget Cuts, who's pockets are being filled...it can all be resolved at the corner pub. Who is with me?
