    What a tasty brew, I like it much more than the well known Bell's Brown.

    Stout: Founders Breakfast stout
    Other: Grapefruit Sculpin, although I like other IPAs better, this one is more easily found around my area, and it has been around for what seems like a long time.

    Creature Comforts Tropicalia and it’s not even close. I find myself in a beer store looking for 30 minutes and then end up just buying a sixer of Trop even though I have plenty at home...I have a fear of running out.

    I usually go for SNPA or Stone IPA (or a seasonal Stone IPA) most of the year but from August until December nearly the only beer you'll find in my fridge is some combination of Space Ways from Modern Times and Celebration IPA from Sierra Nevada. Can't get enough of either of those.

    I love Imperial Stouts and this is the season, but I always have Old Rasputin in the fridge and some Centennial.
    Cheers!

    It's been Troegs Perpetual for years for me. I live less than an hour from the brewery, and it's available in many spots around here, usually fresh. Pennsylvania's IPA.

    I think for me it's Bell's Two-Hearted Ale, a midwestern IPA with such a perfect hop flavors of grapefruit, peach, orange citrus followed by a unique and delicious malt sweetness. The right balance for an IPA. It surprisingly ages better than most IPAs. Time and time again it's on of my favorites.

    I’ve never cared for Pony but I should give it another chance since I haven’t had one in a couple years.
    The Trumer appears to be about 4 months old. There’s a best by date of 2/14/21 on one of the long sides of the box. Some date code site said they use 150 days from bottling. I also forgot they use those damn green bottles. Still a tasty beer, not quite as crisp as when it’s fresh but better than some locals that are 2x the price.

    Probably Sixth Glass Quad.

    Thinking about it, I probably buy that beer more than anything else. Not a world class quad by any stretch, but not bad and a good price in a sixer format.

    I could post some unavailable beer for two thirds of the US but it’s Two Hearted Ale.
    Been that for a while. Expected it to continue.

    I rarely "revisit" beers I've previously tried, but if there's not much to choose from at like a restaurant I'll probably grab something local from Benchtop, Smartmouth or OConnor
