So I've really started to get into different beers after being a german/irish stout-only guy and most the Sam Adams (old engine oil is a black lager I am very fond of btw, found it at this scottish pub in richmond hill GA). Found a nice IPA, dogfish head 60 minute and am thinking that I am i dire need of exploring the world of beer. What all are some beers you BOTL recommend?

Check out every beer Rogue has put out. Same with Red Hook. Dogfish head also puts out plenty of other beers and most are really good.

I recently discovered Harpoon Leviathan IIPA, which is a great Imperial IPA. I got a four pack while on vacation. The alcohol is a little high in it though, but I found that pouring it in a glass, rather than drinking it from the bottle, helps keep the alcohol from affecting the flavors.

I used to really be into the IIPA's and other hop monsters but prefer the maltier brews now. I don't know if you can get it down there, but Robert The Bruce Scottish Ale from Three Floyds is a great one.

Fat Tire from new belgium brewing is a pretty solid malty brew.

total agreement with this. Flying Dog Gonzo Porter, named after Hunter S. Thompson, pairs well with any Maduro. More than pairs well, decidedly enhances the flavor.

Victory beers are great...had an IPA - Hop Devil - this past weekend that was awesome. Also, an amber beer called Pious Monk that is brewed here in Pittsburgh on the site of a decomissioned church. One of the better beers I've ever had.

Since IPAs stouts n porters have been covered so far. You have to try all the Belgian style beers. Abbey dubbels and quads are my favorites. Dark strong ales are very good as well. St. Bernardus Abt 12 if you can find it is amazing. As far as non import Ommegang makes incredible Belgian style beer in the US.

Whenever I head Belgian style beers I think Blue Moon (which I loath). Am I way off base?

If you are in the market for a nice IPA, I highly recommend Yards' IPA it's probably my favorite. I like just about everything from them. They have a beer called Brawler that I absolutely adore.

Hoegaarden is much better.

I like Fat Tire, but New Belgiums other brews are better to me. 1554 is a black ale with deep chocolate tones and is great with a spicy cigar. Blue Paddle is a Pilsner-Lager that is awesome, especially off the tap.

Bells Two Hearted Ale is one of my favorite IPA's...A must try for any IPA drinker, you won't be disappointed. Bell's Brewery, Inc. formerly Kalamazoo Brewing Company in Michigan. Check it out at www.bellsbeer.com COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION: "India Pale Ale style well suited for Hemingway-esque trips to the Upper Peninsula. American malts and enormous hop additions give this beer a crisp finish and incredible floral hop aroma."

I have yet to find a massively produced wheat that I'm thrilled with.

I really like Lake Erie Monster from Great Lakes Brewery. It sucks that its only seasonal but I look forward to it every year just like Christmas Ale.

Just got home from a great trip with my two growlers of Flat Branch beers in my fridge! Also tried the two beers at Outlaw Cigar with my buds. Great beer. Tried the Cain Nub. Good tick. Awesome friends. Good times.

Any beer brewed by Belgian monks. Rochefort especially.
