    glad to see Eliza5beth get a few shoutouts on here because that is my favorite from Prairie outside of their BA beers. I think my top 3 would be:

    pirate bomb
    vanilla noir
    regular bomb!

    Well I've only had 2 of their beers - Bomb and Prairie Standard.....I'd definitely give the nod to Bomb

    Vanilla Noir !

    But of course that's the only one I've had. I was quite impressed, better than I thought it would be.

    BOMB is great. Sours give me gas so I dont drink them often but all the ones I tried from Prairie are descent. The Limo Tint was seriously one of my favorite stouts but I see lots of mixed reviews on it. Maybe I just had a great batch. Hopefully they re release it this year with better consistency.

    I've had 4 beers from them, I'd probably rank them.

    Bomb
    Standard
    Gold
    Okie

    Bomb was pretty good. The other three were solid but didn't blow me away by any means.

    Pirate Bomb
    Apple Brandy BA Noir
    BA Bomb!

    ...still waiting to crack Vanilla Noir and Coffee Okie, which I hear are fan favorites. Would like to see more BA sours from Prairie, since their BA program is killing it.

    All the bombs are great... but I also really love Puncheon and Prairie Hop.

    Don't care for most of the Prairie stuff. Tried Bomb! and was disappointed. Tried Xmas bomb! and was even more disappointed. Pirate bomb was ok, then I had apple brandy noir and was a bit blown away. Definitely their best offering. I also enjoyed Vanilla Noir, but those are the only two I would actually buy again.

    AB Noir and Vanilla Noir are both fantastic, but I actually don't care too much for their others (Bomb! included...I know...I know...)

    I'm going to go way off-road here and mention that I love the hell out of Tulsa Rugby Ale. Really was my first love from Prairie. Aside from that, Bible Belt, Funky Gold Mosaic, Cherry Funk, and Eliza5beth have been favorites. Managed to miss the Apple Brandy Noir, but heard insane things of course.

    I've only had the regular bomb! I enjoyed it and will try some of the variants if I see it.

    This is a tough one. In order: Bomb!, Coffee Okie, Wine Barrel Noir, Bible Belt, Christmas Bomb '15 (way better than '14), Prairie Hop, Funky Gold Amarillo/Mosaic, Cherry Funk, 3rd Anniversary Ale. I have a trade open for Vanilla Noir, Apple Brandy Barrel Noir, and BA Bomb!, so I'll be seeing where those land for me shortly.

    I've only had 7 so far, but they are seven of the best beers I've ever had. Ranked:

    1. Bomb!
    2. Coffee Okie
    3. Vanilla Noir
    4. BA Bomb!
    5. Okie
    6. Christmas Bomb! (2015)
    7. Christmas Bomb! (2014)


    I'm really hoping to add Pirate Bomb! and Apple Brandy Noir (at least) to my list this year.
