    Agree!
    In my opinion Julius is not only the best MA beer but the best beer period. No offense Heady and SOS.

    Best from Indiana for me is Zombie Dust from Three Floyds. Had it on tap for the first time and wish it wasn't so hard to find in my area. Very good brew.

    Reading my mind--slightly diff order

    WW FON
    Jade
    HDnR

    Jade recently made it out again and along with WW beers have a unique flavor that just does it for me.

    Cheers

    It surprised me and edges out BCBS, which I love very much. The Manhattan BA MMR had an order to the flavor profile for me. Vermouth and cherry, then whiskey, then roasted malts. Highly recommended!!!

    PS. I used to drink Manhattan cocktails a lot, starting at age 19.

    Well, my favorite is Dynamo Hum from Jackie O's. But there are so many ridiculously good beers coming out of Ohio in the last year or so that make it entirely futile to name just one.

    Honorable mentions include:

    Brew Kettle El Lupelo Libre
    Fat Heads Hop Juju
    Rhinegeist Hustle (the best rye beer I've had to date)
    50 West Death Valley Shootout (one of the best BA stouts I've had to date, simply amazing)
    Columbus Brewing Bodhi
    Hoof Hearted Konkey Dong/South of Eleven/Roller Blabe/Amarillo Wangbar (all of them are just ridiculous, Trev knows no wrong with hops)
    Homestead Galactic Heroes
    Jackie O's BB Black Maple/BA Dark Apparition/Oil of Aphrodite/Mandala/Chunga's Old Bruin/Berliner Weisse/and so on
    Maumee Bay Amarillo Brillo and Total Eclipse
    Buckeye Lake Shovelhead

    I'm sure I could keep going if I wanted.

    I gave Alpine Nelson a 5, but lately the Alpine beers I've had on draft were only so-so.

    Since the OP listed more than just one, I will do the same.
    Here are the four that I narrowed it down to in PA.
    Surprisingly most are rated in the 80's
    They are all 100's for me though :slight_smile:

    Weyerbacher - Camelopardalis
    Voodoo - Love Child
    Victory - Moonglow
    Draai Laag - Goedenacht

    Where does one get Julius? Please tell me you don't have to stand in line or chase beer trucks to get it.

    This is a great time in the US beer world. Not so many years ago good beers where hard to find. No when traveling there is
    not enough time in the day to sample all the great beers brewed on the local level, hope everyone has fun trying.

    have to go to treehouse to get it. definitely will have to wait in line (1.5-2hrs potentially) for a growler, not as much of a line if you want cans only, but the limits are generally very low (4-6) and its quite a long drive for most people.

    Unfortunately Tree House hasn't started distributing outside the brewery yet. When it's available you can get it in growlers and sometimes cans. Can limits are usually 2-6 at a time. And the growler lines are typically very long with waits over 2 hours (depending on the time/day you go).

    I've seen it already posted but I have to give my two penny input to the GOAT IPA,

    Since it is sort of semi-regularly kind of available, and unbelievably good, I'll go with HandFarm from Tired Hands. Still the best bottled beer of theirs I've had. Here's hoping for a 12 bottle limit next release!

    Heavy Seas Phantom Ship for Maryland. Hoping it becomes a regular offering (even as a seasonal/rotating offering) as, so far, it's only been brewed once.

    I'd probably go with Kane Head High.

    Where are you located?
    I've noticed the past 6 months, or since it's been 2015, that Zombie is so easy to come by. Then again, I am in NWIndiana and can pretty much stumble upon it at any random bar; i.e.: even Buffalo Wild Wings has it on tap monthly. I also know every Thursday is distribution and all the liquor stores around have it at least 3 Thursday's out of the month.
    Its exclusiveness has worn off. Still love the brew and would probably agree with your answer.
