Kuhnhenn BA4D
Cantillon Lou Pepe Kriek
Goose Island Bourbon County
Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze
Cantillon Fou Foune
Revolution Eugene Porter
Bells Hopslam
Jolly Pumpkin Madrugada Obscura

 

It's hard to pick the ten best. I could probably list the fifty best and have just as much quality.

Cantillon St. Lamvinus
Pre 2012 CCB Hunahpu (love the more recent releases, but they aren't quite the same)
Terrapin/Left Hand Depth Charge
Founders CBS
Apple Brandy Zhukov
Westbrook Mexican Cake
Sculpin (good batches, super fresh)
New Belgium Le Terroir
Bells Oracle
Terrapin Hopzilla (Original Side Project release, not the hot mess of a beer they put into four packs)

 

HF Edward
Heady Topper
Double Sunshine
Gandhi Bot
Sucaba
King Titus
Bigfoot
FIS
KBS
Rochefort 10

 

Edmund Fitzgerald
Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout
Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
Hill Farmstead Everette
Ommegang Hennepin
Ommegang Witte
Maudite
Heady Topper
Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen
Great Divide Espresso Yeti

In reality I couldn't make it with just ten....35 on the other hand would prob be suffice.

 

PtY
PtE
BCBS Rare
BCBS
Supplication
Beatification
Dreadnaught
Alpine Bad Boy
Kern River Citra
BOIS

Still have quite a few in mind, but off the top of my head, these are the first to come to mind...

 

Deschutes Red Chair
Odell Red
Odell Loose Leaf
Cigar City Jai Alai
Crooked Stave Hop Savant
Funkwerks Saison
Praire 'Merica
Marble Oatmeal Stout
Founders Breakfast Stout
Firestone Walker Parabola

Tried to be varied, one beer per brewery (with Odell being the exception....and it was a struggle to not include their IPA or Myrcenary on this list).

 

Sixpoint Sweet Action
Dogfish 60min
Alchemist Heady Topper
Blue Point Toasted Lager(on tap and fresh tastes like burnt marshmallows)
Sixpoint The Crisp
Ten Fidy
Stone IPA
Dogfish My Antonia
Sixpoint Bengali Tiger
Smuttynose Robust Porter

 

In no particular order. Tried to get as many different styles in there as I could.

FW Wookey Jack
FFF Zombie Dust
GF Le Freak
FW Parabola
Evil Twin Femme Fatale Brett
Funky Buddha Maple Bacon Coffee Porter
Allagash White
Bruery Tradewinds Tripel
Midnight Sun Arctic Devil Barleywine
And there's a tie in the Blonde category between Dupont Moinette Blond and Thiriez La Blonde D'Esquelbecq

I really wanted to include DFH Immort Ale like I usually do for these lists but the past two years' editions have just not been the same as in previous vintages. There's been this "wild" flavor and aroma that hasn't been there in the past (possibly infected?). Also I've had so many incredible beers in the past two years that it keeps getting pushed lower and lower down my list of favorites.

 

Shit, I didn't even think about Lou Pepe Framboise cuz I just had it for the first time a few weeks ago. Sub Arctic Devil out for that.

 

Need to cover 4 seasons, from session to dinner to nightcap, and avoid one-offs that may be here today, gone tomorrow. Yikes. Rest of life is a long time. What has to drop here in order to fit a pils?
