A friend just brought me some Wild Goose from Maryland a few weeks ago. Good stuff. He's a Budweiser fan (yecch!), and he decided to expand his taste to another pilsner. Fortunately, this one wasn't made with rice (to my knowledge).
I always look forward to Old Stock Ale from the North Coast brewery in CA. It's a seasonal ale, but you may be able to find it if you have a local specialty beer store. Most of those guys like to keep some stashed away in the back of the cooler. Since it's seasonal, the recipe is never quite the same from year to year. I hightly recommend searching for some. Beware - it's a little strong. One bottle will do ya just fine.
