    In order: Noble Pils, Blackberry Whitbier, and Cherry Wheat
    I know most people don't like the fruit beers (especially the cherry wheat), but in the summer and fall they are nice to drink while outside.

    This is tough. Very few stand out for me. I have really like some of the LongShot brews. I can easily pick my least favorite...Triple Bock.

    In no particular order. Black and Brew from the winter pack a couple years ago was pretty good too, same for Chocolate Bock from the same pack. Shout out to Triple Bock

    cream stout is easily my favorite SA offering- it's an almost perfect English style porter. And as of recently, I'll add Rebel Rouser to the list. Cheap, easy to get my hands on and it satisfies my insatiable appetite for hop bombs. It's actually really good.

    No, really, serious beer drinkers do like BBC beers, it's not anonymous market research. I don't love the BBC attitude to marketing recently, nor do I love all their beers, not by far. But the idea that "only Utopias" is worthwhile, or the idea that any of the following are "watery" (BL, NoblePils, Octoberfest, Fezziwig, ScotchAle, HolidayPorter) is absolutely laughable. In 4 years here on BA, I've never, ever once been confrontational to someone else's opinion. To each their own, and nobody has to like what I like, and so on. Yet, you've actually gone and said, "If Sam Adams should survive...." I'm sorry, sir, you are divorced from reality, and I'm afraid I've let myself respond with an implied righteousness that I'm not exactly proud of, but it needs to be said, IMO. Enjoy your ride while it lasts.

    To the OP, my 3:
    1. Boston Lager
    2. Noble Pils
    3. Whitewater IPA

    Sad to never see NoblePils in sixers the last few years, sad that HolidayPorter, Black&Brew and RevolutionaryRye seem to no longer be made. To be honest, and sadly to agree with the BA whom I've confronted above, I admit that several BBC beers I've tried were "watery" to my opinion, notably ChocolateBock, BlackberryWit and BostonAle. If they found some way to make more of their best 20 beers, and felt free to ditch the less-well-received other 25, we'd all be better off. We can always hope. I could care less if anyone agrees with my particular opinion on this, especially not the self-described troll. And, "want's" wants no apostrophe.
