I'm a bit of a beer snob and thankfully NC has quite the selection available. Just curious to see what everyone would list as the #1 beer they ever had? I love stouts and IPA's and have a lot that I enjoy... but I finally found my soul mate.
Epic Brewing- Big Bad Baptist Imperial Stout... Highly recommend, unless you live in NC (then back away from my reserve)

Had 2 beers on Saturday night that were new to me. One was Delirium Noel (local place doing Christmas in July). Enjoyed that one a lot. The other was Speciale Belge, which is the first ever collaboration involving Brasserie Dupont. They made this with Iron Hill Brewery for this year's Philly Beer Week. Kind of disappointed in that one. Not a strong flavor, and had an odd aftertaste. Not terrible, but not anything I would get again.

I've been drinking anything I can get my hands on by 21st Amendment Brewery.
There summer beer, high or hell watermelon is very good. The watermelon taste is very subtle.
Brew Free or Die IPA is currently my favorite IPA, perhaps favorite of all-time too.
Bitter American is alright and Back in Black American IPA is very good.

Yea I've been there a few times. Pretty cool place. Staff is friendly. Pretty nice selection. Nice draft list. Sometimes some good prices on *glass*, if you're into that sort of thing. Prices are all cheaper than what you'll find in PA... but that's almost purely a function of them being taxed less. Which, by the way, is why it is technically illegal to buy beer/wine at VE and then transport back over the state line into PA. They also have a half-decent scotch list, if you're into single malts.
If I lived within 10 minutes of that place, I'd be a "regular". As it is, I make a trip out a couple times a year. Cool spot. Perhaps a bit over-hyped at this point, but worth a detour if you ever find yourself anywhere near the area.
There's a pretty nice bottle shop out in New Kensington that might be a bit closer to you... I know, i know, when you think craft beer, "New Kensington" doesn't spring to mind, but just take my word for it and check it out. Nice draft list (fully-automated, online, you see on the website what the patrons are seeing on the screen in the bar) and some pretty cool/rare stuff. Up over 1200 bottles at one point... Goes by the name "House of 1000 Beers" these days, but I still call it "6-and-Save", cause I think the new name is corny.
------------
As for the OP, great question, hard question, but I'll take my best shot at it with the following: Fav American Pale: Oskar Blues Dale's Pale Ale Fav American IPA: Fathead's Headhunter Fav American DBL IPA: 3 Floyd's Dreadnaught Fav. American Wheat Beer: 3 Floyd's Gumballhead
Fav Red Ale: Troeg's Nugget Nectar Fav Barleywine: Troeg's Flying Mouflon
Fav Classic American Stout: Sierra Nevada Stout Fav Imperial Stout: Dogfish Head World Wide Stout Fav Sweet Stout: Bell's Special Double Cream Stout Fav Porter: Willoughby's Peanut Butter Cup Coffee Porter
Fav Fruit Beer: Kasteel Rouge Fav Quad: Ommegang 3 Philosophers Fav Triple: St. Bernardus Watou Tripel Fav Dubbel: Westmalle Dubbel Fav Belgian Pale: Bruery Mischief Fav Belgian Dark: Rochefort 6 Fav Sour: Cantillon Rose De Gambrinus
Fav "Big Brewery" beer made with adjuncts: Yuengling Black & Tan Fav Mass Produced Beer without adjuncts: Guinness Fav American Light Macro: Bud Light Lime
Fav Pumpkin: Epic Brewing Fermentation Without Representation Fav XMas Beer: St. Bernardus Christmas
Fav Beer from PA: Troeg's Perpetual IPA Fav Beer from Pittsburgh: Draai Laag Aureus Fav Beer from Cali: Stone Ruination Fav Beer from Belgium: Kasteel Rouge
Toughest Category to pick a favorite: Probably IPA/Imp. IPA. Maybe Belgian Quad. And I love Christmas Beers too. A lot of great ones made, particularly over in Belgium.
Favorite overall beer: Fathead's Headhunter. Probably. But if you put a Ruination, Dreadnaught, Double Jack, or Deviant Dale's in front of me, I'd probably change my tune.
