I had an Arrogant Bastard yesterday, on a whim (I have my whims) and I remembered why I hadn't had it in a while. It manages to be overwhelmingly hoppy (which can be good - see Sierra Nevada Pale Ale) and simultaneously sickeningly sweet, like a Pete's Wicked Ale. Ugh.
Smithwicks and Guinness are in heavy rotation right now as the weather gets cool.
Also had a good Blue Point Brewery winter ale at Thanksgiving, but I am not sure how widely their stuff is distributed outside New York.

I'm interested because I am a beer fan, but I do have a helpful suggestion -- if you start posting about the types of beers that you had over, say, the last week or so, your posts are going to make Spanky's racism arguments seem like haiku. For more appropriate post sizes, I would focus on, for example, the beers you had last night between 7:00 and 9:00.
