I'm a fan of a good full bodied ale at the best of times so I would think of any number that I enjoy but I think that hobgoblin would be a good choice
Or for a lighter taste (but still packs a good punch) try Bengaul Lancer a fine IPA with a good 5%+ alcohol contant

A pint of cider! Old Rosie or Addlestones is a suitably Hobbity drink that will mess you right up in sort order er I mean bring the Shire Atmosphere™.

Black Cherry Cider from Rabbit's Foot Meadery - Beorn himself would quaff it by the gallon.

In the field of ales I suggest looking for Fraoch.

A sixpack of cheap lager and some carbonated water to see to that I don't get too drunk as I Loremaster games.

My players often drink Hobgoblin Ale by Wychwood Brewery.

Always, seems somehow appropriate...

Little known fact: I made the paintings (over supplied pencils) for the animations on the Wychwood website, and made their seasonal posters for several years (also over supplied pencils). I painted the label for White Wych (also over, you guessed it, supplied pencils). So now you know.

In my neck of the woods, cider is often stronger than the beer. But English ciders and ales seem suitably Hobbitish.

Always red wine for me! Though sipping whiskey is nice for a slow release, if not altogether thematic.

Hard to wrong with cider or ale, though. If you live in the southern U.S. I cannot recommend Monday Nigh'ts Fu Manbrew enough.
