    For me Alpha King or Pear Bear.

    Good call on the Anicca and Rye'd da Tiger. In distribution, Permanent Funeral. Best brewpub I had was Black Intelligencer.

    Quaanto was fantastic. Permanent Funeral times two? Hope they bring it back soon. I know it was available in bombers in the kiosk, but I don't know if it hit shelves anywhere.

    I'll also strongly agree on LazerSnake; been favoring that the last few trips in to the pub.

    My sentimental favorite, though, is Gumballhead. Way back in the day, Gumballhead was a seasonal, available roughly from April to September. And when it came out in the spring, a beer never tasted as good. Now, it's ubiquitous, but it's a top-five summer beer for me, still.

    I always look forward to Alpha Klaus coming out during the holidays. Fresh, hoppy ZD and Alpha King are tops for me.

    Absolute favorites are Permanent Funeral,Pear Bear, Behemoth and Alpha King.

    Closely followed by ZD, Gumballhead and FRESH Dark Lord (not the aged soy sauce bomb)

    Permanent Funeral followed by ZD. Will be trying Dark Lord for the first time this year so my favorite may change.

    Would be brilliant if they'd put this in twelve ounce bottles. Hell of a good beer.

    First one that came to mind was dreadnaught. Second one that I have really enjoyed recently was wig splitter. I like zombie dust but I just can't get on the bandwagon and I try every time. I just personally like more pronounced flavors and I feel zombie dust iis very balanced which I am assuming is part of the reason it's ranked so high but I just don't find it thet great., just really good

    ZD got me to like IPA's - its still tops for me.

    Just got a bottle of wigsplitter - looking forward to trying that based on the comments here.

    Dreadnaught on draft might still be my favorite. It loses its thing in the bottle though. Permanent Funeral is the nectar though. It's like biting into an apricot. I'm still amazed at the way they hop their beers. Some of the countries best breweries just can't get to the level of some of those Floyd's beers. They had one on tap a couple weeks ago, Look the Witch in the Eyes, that was crazy good. Experimental hop of some sort.

    While Wigsplitter and Amber Smashed are really good beers as of late, I long for the days of Hells Black Intelligencer and the cheap bombers of Brian Boru. With the ramped up production, Zombie Dust is in jeopardy of becoming a shelf turd around here!

    I remember Hells Black and miss it so much. They used to serve it in a coffee cup at the brewpub. What a fantastic beer.

    Permanent Funeral is up there, but Live a Rich Life is too. However, don't ever overlook their lagers, particularly the Black Unicorn.

    Brian Boru...bummed they don't make it, or at least bottle it, anymore. Obviously dig on Alpha King, Gumballhead, Permanent Funeral, Dreadnaught, etc. Live a Rich Life was ridiculous as was Rye Da Lightning and The Creeper
