    Jackie O's (OH) BA Brick Kiln, Bissell Brothers (ME) Baby Genius ... both hard to get

    As far as diamonds in the rough, Six Point (NY) Sweet Action is a beer I tried for the first time last weekend and may be my summer time go-to from here on out.

    I'll go heady topper(hadn't had in over two years and first time having since I have been into craft) and tree house haze, both outstanding DIPAs and are a notch above the rest of what I have had. I've also started exploring sours/goses and really have liked victory kirsch gose and AV blood orange. And an all around awesome drinker is nooner, such a damn well made beer

    Stout:
    Lagunitas ScareCity #3High-Westified Imperial Coffee Stout. Accessibility ($$$) and quality.

    Imperial IPA:
    Based on what I have been able to consume so far I will say Southern Tier Brewing Co. - Unearthly

    Porter:
    I'm putting this up because Samuel Smiths - Taddy Porter just pushed Founders out of my number one spot for porters mid way through this year.

    Locally:
    I was very impressed with 3 Stars Brewing Co. - Madness (Old Ale) Easily drank a 64 in 3 days, maybe too easily lol. My poor liver.
