    Except for the NEIPAs it looks like when you go into a bottle shop you suffer from severe disconnect somewhere between your eyes and your brain! :wink:

    At least they've got me with Wild Ales too lol. But yeah, my reviews don't reflect my ideal bottle shop selection. Part of the curse of living close to Tree House I suppose :wink:

    1. Saison/Farmhouse (basic, not soured, aged, fruited, overpriced)
    2. Munich Dunkel
    3. Helles/Kolsch/Vienna Lager
    4. Dopplebock (dark versions)
    5. Rauchbier (German smoked beers, not cherrywood porters or peaty stuff)

    For the most part, these are my "gotta haves" if I find them on tap. The issue is that there are too many brewers getting these wrong. So I would add the caveat that these are my top 5 if brewed correctly, if not, there better be a solid WCIPA or I'm leaving.
