Ten Fidy

 

It's difficult enough just choosing ten-- no way am I able to rank these. So, in alphabetical order by brewery:

Brasserie Cantillon Lou Pepe - Kriek
Brasserie des Franches-Montagnes Abbaye De Saint Bon-Chien 2011 (consumed 2013)
Brouwerij Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze Golden Blend
Cigar City Or
Dogfish Head Bourbon Barrel Aged World Wide Stout
Firestone Walker Parabola
J.W. Lees Vintage Harvest Ale 2000 (consumed 2011)
Logsdon Farmhouse Ales Seizoen Bretta (aged about 1.5 yrs)
Russian River Consecration
The Bruery Sour in the Rye

 

Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald
Great Lakes Burning River
Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold
Great Lakes Eliot Ness
Great Lakes Commodore Perry
Great Lakes Oktoberfest
Great Lakes Alchemy Hour IPA
Great Lakes Blackout Stout (BA version or otherwise)
Great Lakes Nosferatu
Great Lakes Christmas Ale

They're local, so I can always find fresh bottles. They brew a variety of ales AND lagers, so I'm never bored. And they are very friendly price-wise.

 

Beer, some more beer from our craft beer selections
And then more beer....
When I get to ten, can I start over?

 

In no order, the best I've ever had

CBS
Bourbon Vanilla Dark Lord
Mornin' Delight
Heady Topper
BB Pt5
King Henry
Barrel Aged Popskull (FFF)
Bordeaux Barrel Aged Wheatmiser (Goose Island)
Bourbon County Coffee '11
Chocolate Rain

Really the bottom 2 are muddled in with a lot of others that very easily could have made the top 10, but the top 8 on the list are the ones that truly made me go "Wow" the first time I had the beer. Heady Topper makes the top 10 because even though I've had it dozens of times it still blows me away.

 

West Sixth Snakes In a Barrel (imperial stout aged in Pappy Van Winkle barrels)
Bell's Expedition Stout
BCBS
Fathead's Head Hunter
Stone Russian Imperial Stout
Zombie Dust
Espresso Oak Aged Yeti
Country Boy Papaw's Red (imperial red aged in Pappy Van Winkle barrels)

I've got Bramble, Cherry Rye, BA Sexual Chocolate, BBPt5th and others waiting on me though.....
