.QUOTE="LordCrabapple, post: 3906243, member: 96308"]LordCrabapple agrees that one tends to keep one's favourites. He's tried many beers over the years, but knows what he likes. This, he thinks, comes with experience. He's had the same favourites for ten years and is rarely impressed by new beers.[/QUOTE]
Absolutely .A favourite beer of mine is one I first drank 55 years or more ago.
I have watched the beer revolution since it began.Much of what has happened seems to be attempts to be different but this is not the same as better.

 

Off the top just ones I remember getting that "zen" beer moment from (no order):

FFF Blot Out the Sun
St. Bernardus Abt 12
Prairie Apple Brandy Noir
Alpine Nelson
Jackie O's x Quaff Bros. Full Allotment

If I really sat down and pondered my near and distant memories, this list would be different.

 

1. unibroue maudite
2. jolly pumpkin noel de calabaza
3. neshaminy creek the shape of hops to come
4. gulden draak
5. left hand wake up dead nitro

picking 5 is really hard and this list could easily change day to day
