    With the coveted brews of Three Floyds popping up much more frequently in the midwest (thanks to their expanded bottling line), their beers seem to be popping up in bottleshops nearly every other week (at least in Ohio).

    After visiting the brewpub countless times, I've relished some of the most exquisite beers, being their brewpub exclusives, after a grueling 6-hour morning drive with my siblings.

    So, what I want to know is
    Which FFF offering have you enjoyed the most?
    Brewpub exclusive or distributed.

    I know ZD is good, but I'm for damn sure not gonna wait 45 minutes in line, or go out of my way to get some.

    For me, brewpub-wise was Perched Atop the Denim Throne.
    Distro-wise would be Cimmerian Sabertooth Berzerker.

    I am a ZD fan, and being in the area, I can always get some. Having said that, here are some of my other favorites:

    Alpha King
    Dreadnaught
    Robert the Bruce
    Permanent Funeral

    I still love Gumballhead as much as the first time I had it.

    A true guzzler. A pint of that will barely last a few minutes.

    Hopped in Half just might be my new favorite from them. The bottle just disappears, it drinks so quick.

    Gumballhead will always remain a classic. Just had Hopped in Half on tap the other week, and it was fantastic.

    My new favorite, though: Behemoth. Had it for the first time today. Truly great. One of the best barleywines I've had.

    Many great beers from FFF. Some which come to mind. Permanent Funeral, APW, Dreadnaught,Toxic Revolution, Blakkr (FFF's), Live a Rich Life and one favorite I wish they would bring back again - Rye'd Da Lightning.

    I like ZD and don't mind standing in line for 45 minutes or longer to get it as long as the weather is nice. What I don't like is the four hour round-trip drive to get there and back. That's why it's rare that I make the trip. Once a year is okay to get my fix of this beer.

    Behemoth is like Alpha King's big mama. Great syrupy apricot amplified.

    Permanent funeral on tap at fff is my favorite. The bottle never does it justice

    Out of the 25 or so FFF beers I have had, probably Wigsplitter, Arctic Panzer Wolf and Skull Ole. The past year or so though I don't really go out of my way for any FFF brews... They don't impress me as much as they used to... Good beers, but I think Ohio has some far better offerings that sit on the shelf. All of the hoppy offerings tend to share this common malt quality I just don't care for. I literally give out bottles of Zombie now when I get it as I know others will enjoy it more than me.

    I think their porter/stout lineup is really good... I always am down to pick up bombers if I see those at a shop.

    Love trying new beers but I could drink these for the rest of my life.

    In all reality, 3 floyds doesn't make a bad beer. I never had Bully Guppy so I can say this! Haha

    Ohio absolutely has brews that easily rival/overpower a lot of 3F brews. But that Blot Out the Sun is hard to beat in terms of their dark beer offerings.

    Which Ohio brews are better? I like to know for when I'm going through different states.

    Permanent Funeral really kicks a lot of ass. ZD and BADL's in general are generally great as well.

    Amber Smashed Face is my recent fave from them. Apparently I need to try Hopped in Half though...

    And I really appreciate that they aren't trying to win the whalez game, just consistently good beer.
