    I had to go with "other" due to the fact the XVII Anniversary has been my favorite to date and I still haven't gotten to crack the bottle of XVIII I've been sitting on. I will say that I have never had a bad beer from FW. It blows my mind that I hadn't really tried their beers up until about a year and a half ago.

    1. XVIII
    2. Parabola
    3. XIV
    18 and Parabola are close for me, splitting hairs there. I think 18 is so good due to the heavy use of Parabola in the makeup.

    18th Anniversary was my vote, but I could have gone with Parabola too.

    On par with those two beers for me is Pivo Pils, especially now that they are canning it. So good!

    Sitckee Monkee but my #2 has to be DDBA which shouldve been an option.

    I'm loving Union Jack in cans. I haven't had any of their barrel aged stuff but I do have a few bottles in the cooler for later on down the line.

    Still not over the fact that Double DBA isn't being bottled anymore.

    One of my all-time favorite beers.

    Absolutely love all of their BA beers that I've tried so far.

    Had my first Stickee Monkee a week or so ago and it was easily the best beer I've had in a long time. Absolutely loved it.

    Admittedly, though, I've not had Parabola yet, but have a bottle at home that I'm planning on cracking open Friday night. Really excited to see what all the buzz is about over it.

    I have enjoyed every FW beer I have tried (which is regrettably less than I would like) and I though union jack, pivo, easy jack, and wookey jack were all great beers. That being said I chose other in the poll because my favorite is DBA. I love english style bitters and pale ales and there is just something about DBA that always pulls me back. It's a terrific beer full of flavor and at a sessionable strength, which makes it good with food and on its own. All around great beer.

    Is DDBA stilled being bottled?? I have not seen it on the shelves in recent memory.

    There is no wrong answer. But if I had to choose, Sucaba.

    Oh man, good call on Agrestic -- that one is criminally undervalued. That was the one, along with New Belgium Love Blackberry, that burst the dam on sours for me. Rumors floating around of a small release of it at some point this year.

    Hell, FW's sours in general are vastly underrated. Lil Opal is quietly incredible. If the only funked up farmhouse ales I could drink were that and Green Flash's Little Freak -- both >4.5% ABV -- I wouldn't shed a tear.
