Top 5 Fav beers?

Hmm, difficult choices. But here's 5 that I enjoy every time I have one

1) DFH Burton Baton
2) Avery Maharaja
3) Stone Oaked Arrogant Bastard
4) Flying Dog Raging *****
5) Avery Beast

Though SN Torpedo is my go to beer, sort of like the college kids Bud Light. So it should be there somewhere and Ruination and DFH 90 should be on this list too...

Man guys this is a mean trick, I can't just pick 5!

1) Fat Head's Head Hunter IPA
2) Left Hand Smokejumper Imperial Smoked Porter
3) Hoppin' Frog Frog's Hollow Double Pumpkin Ale
4) Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA
5) Russian River Pliny the Elder

Rev...If you like pumpkin ales, you have got to try the Hoppin' Frog Pumpkin. It won the 1st ever gold medal in the pumpkin category at the GABF last year. They are out of Akron, OH.

I see alot of Bells brewery beers listed. I have been avoiding them on the "3 bad beers; you're out" rule. Might have to retry some.
Totally agree on the Founders Breakfast Stout.

Mine:
Dirty Bastard
Breakfast Stout
Stone smoked porter
Robert the Bruce
Old Rasputin RIS

I like my beers full.

Surly Bender
Redhook ESB
Surly Furious
Rogue Mocha Porter
Odell Isolation Ale

Not much love for Surly on this board, prob because its hard to get outside of MN, but they make a great beer.

If you mean Burton Baton, then I agree...very tasty!!!

Yes...stupid smart phones

This is impossible (I haven't tried all the beer in the world yet) but here's 5 beers I like in no particular order.

1. Bells Two Hearted
2. Aventinus
3. Celebrator
4. Belhaven Scottish Ale
5. Peace Tree Double IPA (for those of you in Iowa you have got to try this seasonal from Peace Tree. Matter of fact try everything you can from them. Good young brewery.)

To the guy who questioned Bells, I would highly recommend you give them another shot. Have you guys seen the new clear bottles that Belhaven is using? What the f? Twisted Thistle was a decent UK IPA but now it's skunked as hell? F'ing morons.

Fav's in no particular order:
1. Two Hearted Ale- Bells (liquid candy)
2. Oberon- Bells (fav summer beer)
3. Mississippi Mud (black and tan in a bottle)- Mississippi Brewing Co.
4. Hefeweissbier - Weihenstephaner
5. Honker's Ale- Goose Island

These are my favorites, sure there are better beers but these hold a special place in my heart.

1. DFH - India Brown
2. Ommegang - BPA
3. Two Brothers - Northwind Stout
4. Bell's - Hopslam
5. Pacifico (for the summer and beach excursions)
