    If you have a chance to try Alberta Clipper, do it! I think it might be my new favorite offering!

    Elliot Ness. It has not been on the shelf in my local store for a while now. =( I also like the Dortmunder Gold and The Wright Pils and everything I have had from them.

    Every offering I have had from Great Lakes is top tier. But Edmund Fitzgerald stands out as their premier brew to me.

    Roger that. The only Great Lakes beers I don't care for are styles I don't like, not because of the way GL brews them.

    Edmund Fitzgerald porter is about as good as it gets. But I tend to like many of their beers; they produce solid products.

    It's about a 5 way toss up. Never had a Great Lakes beer that was less the excellent.

    Toss up between Eliot Ness and Edmund Fitzgerald for year round and Rye of the Tiger and Oktoberfest for seasonal.

    Haven't had Chillwave yet, but if it is the same beer as Alchemy Hour, that one.

    My favorite by far is Alchemy Hour, which will be Chill Wave this year and hereafter (seasonal), favorite year round is Commodore Perry - but also let me say that I've enjoyed everything I've tried from them, really a great brewery.

    BA Blackout. Honorable mention goes to Chillwave. As far as pub exclusives, Engine 20 and Rackhouse Ale were both great.

    Chillwave. Worst name for a delicious beer I can think of.

    Chillwave and Edmund Fitzgerald. Ironically, those are the only two I've ever had but they seem to be two of the best. I had a Dortmunder Gold years ago but found it to be just OK.

    Everyday - Edmund Fitzgerald (Dortmunder Gold a close second)

    Seasonal - Nosferatu (so underrated)

    The only beers I've had from them that I didn't like for were the Burning River and the Holy Moses
