Abita makes a great stout-esque beer called Turbodog. If you like chocolate style beers, it's great. Also, Young's Double Chocolate Stout is not too bad. Supposedly one of the best porter/stout style beers is made right in my hometown, Cleveland. That's Great Lakes Brewery's Edmund Fitzgerald. It won a World Beer Award. Don't know if you can get it that far west. Throw away that Guinness garbage, that does to stout what Budweiser does to lagers.
My favorite all-time beers are made by a Candian company called Unibroue (UNI BREW) who make Belgian style beers. My favorite is the La Fin Du Monde, which is a golden ale. The taste is inexplicable. Very smooth though. I've had a person who had only drank American piss water (Bud, Miller, etc.) remark that he didn't know that a beer could taste like that.
A close cousin to it is Unibroue's Don De Dieu (DON DAY DEW). It's also golden ale, but I believe it has a slightly sweeter taste. At first taste, you'll think it's the same as La Fin Du Monde, but there's a difference.
Both are 9% alcohol, but you would never know they are so smooth. And all you need is 2-3 and you're golden!

As for classical, Morricone and Schubert allllll the way.

Great Lakes is some wonderful stuff. I had the Commodore Perry last time I was in Chicago and it was insanely delicious. A friend of mine recommended it to me and I was very happy with it. I wish I could get it a little further east actually.

+1 on La Fin du Monde.
Two Hearted Ale from Belle's of Kalamazoo, MI is the best IPA IMO, unless you're talking more expensive stuff like Dogfish Head 90 min. or better yet 120 min. IPA, but those both are every once in a while things.
Tchaikovsky's 4th is my fav, but my classical knowledge is limited.
Oh and Sake, Japanese rice wine mixed with Blueberry Pomegranate juice is good. I'm oh so a heathen.
