Living in Central New York has opened my eyes to whole new worlds of cider. As such, my favorite is a local--1911, though I've also gotten a taste for Strongbow if I can't find some 1911 or Johnny Appleseed if I'd like something a little sweeter.
I also absolutely adore Lindeman's Lambic of any flavor, though Framboise is always a personal favorite. I love the smell when you first pour it out, and it's that beautiful mix of sweet and savory that delights my senses.
As far as beers go, I'm all over the place. IPAs, hefeweisens, chocolate stouts, reds, blondes--I'll pretty much drink and enjoy just about anything about 'em all. Though I do draw the line at most light beers (Land Shark or Ichiban is about the lightest I'll go before it tastes flavorless) or some of the super-strong hoppy stuff (Total Bastard Ale was a harsh drink). Samuel Adams and Shock Top are my favorite labels, but I'll more often than not try something based on what it's made of and style than a specific brand.
