As of Right now:

1. Avery Redpoint Ale (Amber Ale, I love the Balance of Hops and Malt)
2. Avery Ellie's Brown Ale (So smooth and just enough Malt/Sweetness - super drinkable).
3. Rogue Chocolate Hazelnut (Amazing, Amazing beer.)
 
As of today;

  1. The one that in my glass. (Dudes Pub Ale)
But since that really can't count...:D
  1. Big Sky IPA
  2. DFH 60 Minute IPA
  3. Granite City's Duke Wellington Pale Ale (IPA)

I still haven't tried DFH 60 minute -- only the 90 minute...I need to go grab myself a 6 pack.

Its damned good. I made a summit IPA with toasted pale malt and when I tasted the 60 Min IPA the taste of toasted 2-row jumped right out at me!

Toasted at 350F @ 20 minutes - close to a DIY munich
 
DFH 120 Min IPA <- My GRAIL! This brew was so good.
Founders Breakfast Stout <- Gotta love the local boys.
Leinie's Creamy Dark <- Another great dark beer, that's "kinda" local.
 
I'm not one for favorites... though I am enjoying a well balanced Maple Stout from Cannery Brewing. There's so many great beers being brewed around North America right now, it's REALLY hard to choose (let alone the rest of the world).

I also have a 6pack of Hoegaarden cooling in the fridge as we speak... ;)
 
1. New Belgian Trippel
2. Sierra Nevada ESB
3. New Belgian Abbey

But right now I'm drinking my own Belgian amber ale.
 
Pliny the Elder
Rodenbach Grand Cru
Smuttynose Old Brown Dog

As of this moment, this could change tomorrow.

IMO, DFH 60 is better than DFH 90, which is better than DFH 120. At the Dogfish head pubs, you can get the 75 minute draft (which is a blend of 60/90), which is better than the 60 to me; I think all of them lack a little balance (Stone Ruination does big but balanced quite well).

My top 3:

1. St Bernardus Abt 12
2. Allagash White
3. Weeping Radish Corolla Gold Helles Lager
 
1. The first Boulevard Wheat I have on the first nice day of spring where I can sit outside of my favorite bar.

2. The Dead Guy Ale that I drank when I found out I passed the first section of my CPA exam

3. When I make someone join me in a drink of Youngs Double Chocolate Stout when they tell me they don't like dark beers. Proving someone wrong tastes really good. :)


I don't know if that is what you meant, but these are the ones that came to my mind.

That's how I feel about the DFH 90 minute too -- just over the top in a bashful kind of way. Anyone can throw a handful of hops in a kettle and call it an IPA...Stone does it w/ style though. I still want to try Pliny the Elder too -- that beer has a sick following.
 
I can't pick just 3.. but maybe the 3-5 most common ones in the fridge:

1. Dead Guy (just the standard everyday beer)
2. DFH 60 minute IPA - so good
3. Delirium Tremens - This actually could be My overall favorite beer.
4. Pabst Blue Ribbon - cause i am classy like that
5. Trois Pistols

These are just the standard favorite.. the actual favorites would take much longer to decide upon.
 
1. Troegs Hop Back
2. Bear Republic Hop Rod
3. The Oatmeal Stout I brewed last year, does that count?
 
This is the inverse of asking, "Your standing in a pool of pooh and someone throws a bucket of snot at your head, do you duck or take the snot shot in the face?"

W(why)TF ask? It's an arbitrary forced choice, randomly limited for no reason.

That said.....

St. Bernardus ABT12 - SWMBO and I shared on last night of freedom before all HELL broke loose.
Trader Joes weizenbock - enjoyed on beach in SoCal on vacation once kids recovered somewhat from HELL breaking loose.
Dead Guy. Balance, panache and complete taste pallet. Damned fine beer.
 
1. Stone IPA - I just don't get sick of this beer
2. Celebrator Doppelbock - My favorite lager
3. Duvel - The quintessential Belgian Golden Strong

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is up there, I think it is the best stepping stone beer of them all.
 
Oskar Blues - Old Chub - Scottish Ale heaven in a can

Spaten - Optimator - Had this at Epcot at the Food & Wine Fest. after choking on the $12 price it was phenomenal.

Corona - Only sharing 10 in a bucket and cigars on the beach in Puerto Vallarta at 9 in the morning with some dude from Chicago who paid. YEAH!
 
In no particular order and they change daily, if not hourly depending on my mood and season and alignment of the stars and if I've drank another beer recently, etc.

1. Green Flash West coast IPA
2. Ska Buster Nut Brown
3. Left Hand Milk Stout
4. New Holland Dragon's Milk
5. North Coast Old Rasputin (on nitro please)
 
It changes way too often.

This month:

1. Franziskaner Hefeweizen
2. Deschutes Black Butte Porter
3. Stone Levitation Ale

That will all change next month. But when I get home from work, lately these are what I'm craving.
