    Top 5 is a tough one, man.

    If you're curious as to what other BA's are drinking right now, I'd say take a gander at the WBAYDN thread.

    Your preferences will change every 3 months or so... To state "ALL TIME" top 5 beers, is ridiculous.

    I'm not the type to change favorites a lot, with anything. I usually stick to my favorites for a long time.

    But fine, since something so simple like that seems to bother people, I will take it off. :stuck_out_tongue:

    EDIT: I just realized I can't edit it. Oh well...

    No worries, brother. Most of us on here are thoughtful & supportive, it's best to just ignore the rare negative nonsense. :-)

    List your top five faves 6 months from now. They will all have changed. Or even 3 months from now...

    It does shuffle around quite a bit as I try new beers. Pale 31 and Mojo have been in my top 5 for a while though.

    Top five, well I have to just pick these off of the top of my head in no particular order:
    1.) "Two Hearted Ale" by Bell's
    2.) "Pale Ale" by Sierra Nevada
    3.) "Little Sumpin' Sumpin'" by Lagunitas
    4.) "General Washington's Tavern Porter" by Yards
    5.) "Imperial Pumpkin Ale" by Weyerbacher
    Of course there is no way I could stick to just five beers my entire life. I often wonder how some, or is it many, seem to stick largely to one brand.

    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.
