The best American beers also come from a small place, Delaware. Dogfish Head makes some of the most innovative and delicious beers around. Their 90 Minute IPA is the crispest hoppy beer (ignoring their limited 120 minute IPA) and their Midas Touch is some sort of enchanted elixir. If you're on the Atlantic side of the states, find it. If you're not, visit lovely Delaware, and drink this beer.

I've had the 90 min IPA, very nice. Yeah Philla
Recently had a Whitsun Ale by Arcadia Ales.... Simply magical, a must try
Personally I like and are reliable buys:
Magic Hat #9
Avalanche
Flying Dog's Old Scratch
Yuengling (great cheap beer)
Haven't had this, but just got their Golden Nugget, which was a 3 hop blend. OMG hoppy. Didn't like it initially, too bitter, but had to warm up a bit, then it was great.
I've had a few English brews like this, not meant to be served cold and don't taste right, but ~cool they are brilliant.
Best beer I ever had was an English beer. Can't recall the name tho.. Cockfosters? damn....
Usually I buy all sorts of different beers to try, many are good. Never know what you will find.
