Here are a couple of beers I've tried recently:
Narragansett Beer: I was a bit intrigued, as a 6-pack of bottles is very cheap ($5), and had heard scattered good things. The lager was surprisingly good - it doesn't have a lot of complexity, but was still solid, and would be a good "intro beer" for those who are making the conversion from Budweiser, etc. I also tried the Bock, but that wasn't nearly as good; it was decent, but you can find better ones out there.
Ommegang Witte: The Ommegang group, out of Cooperstown, NY, churns out some great beer. I've always been a fan of their Three Philosophers, and I'm a fan of Belgian White ales, so I was eager to try this particular one. It was fairly straight-forward, with a bit of tartness, and a clean finish. If I say I was disappointed, it's only because of the high opinion I have of the brewery.
