    And if this were October, my list would probably be heavier on porters and stouts than the IPA riddled list I'm giving after spending a week in 75-85 degree weather.

    #1 Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout - super smooth great flavor no aftertaste
    #2 Spotted Cow - Such a unique flavor with the corn hard to come by outside WI
    #3 Founders Porter - Flavor and hop character
    #4 3 Floyds Gumball head - Hopped up wheat light goes down easy
    #5 Samuel Smith Tadcaster - the barrel version a little pricey but worth it

    It would be a little easier to name top 5 beers for each style, haha. Different times and seasons you want certain beers and styles. Though I could drink an imperial stout anytime of year :D

    Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout (again Classic no nonsense traditional oatmeal stout) or most things by Samuel Smiths

    American Beers
    Stones Arrogant Bastard Ale (Simply satisfying well rounded ale) or most things by Stones Brewery
    Rogue Ales Chipotle Ale (this will probably be short lived, but its so funky I really Like at the moment) or again most things by Rogue Ales

    Belgium Beers
    Breckenridge Brewery Three Philosophers Quadrupel (this is actually an american brewery but it's Belgium)
    or any dark strong Belgium ale of good quality.

    love them both. Found them at the craft beer festival and didn't want to leave their booth. Soooo good. For that to be on a hop heads list it's gotta be good!

    I love the Dirty Penny but the stone of destiny :rockin:
