    Mine is Mary from Hill Farmstead. I've tried almost all the other styles. But as a lover of good pilsners, this was superior. What are yours?? BTW, I had this both on tap, and canned, and they were equally as great..

    I didn't realize that Hill Farmstead Brewery was German! :sunglasses:

    Ah -- the old "pick your favorite child" thread. :grin:

    I currently have 5 different German beers and 6 different German-style beers in rotation in my stock -- no favorites, just whatever tickles my fancy when it's time for a beer.

    Just one? Nah... not doing that.

    Jever Pilsener (of course)
    Schlenkerla Marzen
    Schneider Aventinus

    Which is best depends on my mood.

    C'Mon. This is easy. You could never go wrong with:

    Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier

    When I have access to it, Keesmann Herren Pils.
    As a more realistic favorite, Andechser Doppelbock.

    "You favorite German beer" But you're talking about Hill Farmstead, which is American. Perhaps you should change the title to "Your favorite German-style beer". My favorite German beer is Schneider Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock (https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/72/1934/). And any wheat beer by Weihenstephaner.

    My favorite German-style, American-made beer is Sierra Nevada Kellerweis.

    Munich Lowenbrau for nostalgic reality, Aventinus just because, Aecht Schlenkerla "Original", Spaten Oktoberfest because it's a time-worn habit, and Sunner Kolsch. There are many more that I could cite. Americans are definitely getting better at many of the German styles.

    I feel so lonely. No one yet has mentioned Maibock as a favorite beer style, which is my favorite style from whichever German brewery that I can get it.
