    I'm in western PA and my new favorite beer is by Sam Adams, called Black and Brew, a light tasting, coffee flavored beer. Unfortunately this is a seasonal beer and is already unavailable until next year. Are there any similar flavored beers by other manufacturers that are made all year round that are available in my area?

    +1 to Founders Breakfast
    Troegs Java Head is probably my favorite readily accessible and inexpensive coffee beer. Since you're in PA it shouldn't be hard to track down either. Dogfish Head has a beer called Black Lodge on draft at their brewpub right now called Black Lodge that is a fantastic coffee beer. I would love to see it bottled in the future.

    Sorry, I re-read the OP's post. The Southern Tier beers are great, but are not "light" in any way

    Not sure if they are available to you, but the two that come to mind are Wolaver's Alta Gracia Porter and Peak Organic Espresso Amber.

    I haven't had the SA beer so couldn't comment on similar flavors but I enjoy Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout.

    I assume you get Great Divide in PA, and espresso yeti is one of, if not my favorite coffee beers of all time.

    Not sure if you get Alesmith, but Speedway Stout is amazing.

    I've had a few and to me the by far winner is Peche Mortel

    Founders Breakfast Stout is king, but you should try a few Porters which are GREAT! I'm a little partial to Founders Porter though... I tried Bells Kalamazoo Porter and it was a little on the weak side comparatively.

    I have to agree, Founders Breakfast Stout is top notch.

    I liked Schlafly's Coffee Stout, pretty reasonably priced too.
