Here's a list of are some suggestions on of good beers many have offered. A great first beer to try is a Williams favorite: Milwaulkee's Best aka "The Beast". Excellent, full flavor--it's a real beer experience. Yet light enough to play Beirut or Flipcup with. Very well priced for such a great beer. It's especially enjoyable if you burn off your taste buds on any given night.
==Belgian Beers==
'''Grimbergen''' (pretty darn sweet! abbey/trappist ale)
'''Lindeman's Lambic ''' ale (flavored with cherries, peaches, etc...it's a highly unique beverage)
Commentary on the above: Hoegaarden > Blanche de Bruges. Duvel and Grimbergen are tasty. Lindeman's tastes very different from normal beers, but there is no essential difference in the method of brewing. For a nice selection of Belgians, try the Beverage Den on Rt. 7 in Bennington. They've got Orval, Chimay, Rochefort, Witkap Pater, Cantillon Gueuze, Saison Dupont, de Ranke xx Bitter, and some other stuff. However, they do not have Brugse Straffe Hendrik, which is unfortunate. For cheaper belgian style beers, Allagash, Unibroue, and Ommegang are all awesome.
Stone Imperial Stout
'''Otter Creek ''' is absolutely fantastic. I especially recommend the Vermont Lager or Pale Ale, but all varieties are very tasty.
'''BBC ''' brews up some mean beers. Almost anything by them is great, except for though the Steel Rail Extra Pale Ale (whoever wrote that the Steel Rail is bad is a moron!)debatable. Support local beer! The BBC '''Imperial Stout ''' is easily one of the best Imperial stouts you can get anywhere.
'''Tröegs Brewing Co. ''' from PA brews a wonderful American Pale Ale.
The Long Trail Ale Brewing Co. (near Killington, VT) brews some great beers, the '''Double Bag ''' (dusseldorf altbier 6.7%) is excellent.
===Macrobrewed Beers===
'''Milwaulkee's Best''', aka "The Beast." A great first beer to try and a Williams favorite. Excellent, full flavor, it's a real beer experience yet light enough to play Beirut or Flipcup with. Very well priced for such a great beer. It's especially enjoyable if you burn off your taste buds on any given night. '''Sam Adams Boston Lager ''' is one of the best domestic macrobrews out there.
'''Rolling Rock ''' - Perhaps not deserving of the "good beer" title, but it's one of the most drinkable cheaper beers out there. A 30-pack will set you back about 20 bucks, and it isn't half terrible. (also light enough for [[Beirut]] or similar games)
'''Yuengling ''' is a good macrobrew, though hard to find in the Northeast.
'''Sierra Nevada ''' is an excellent beer which has gotten big enough to count as a macro. Try the Pale Ale, you won't regret it.
