    So, I'm gonna be unpopular with this suggestion but here it is anyway:

    PUT DOWN THE HEADY.... Everyone here knows you trade your soul for it and it's good..

    Try a KelSO Imperial IPA and get back to me.. I'll be here waiting smugly..

    Not sure if you've had Permanent Funeral yet, but I would highly advise not trading for it.

    I did get to try PF. It's a good malty IPA. If you're only into hops you won't appreciate it. Did knock off Resin, Abrasive, and Pure Hoppiness as well.

    This is tough but I'll take a crack at it with what I've had so far.

    1. Abrasive - Surly
    2. Pliny the Elder - Russian River
    3. Square Grouper - Pipeworks
    4. Heaady Topper - The Alchemist
    5. Cimmerian Sabertooth Berzerker - Three Floyds
    6. Double Daisy Cutter - Half Acre
    7. Citra Ninja - Pipeworks
    8. Stone Enjoy By - Stone Brewing Co.
    9. Permanent Funeral - Three Floyds
    10. Hop Juju - Fat Heads

    I would say any of the fish series from Pipeworks could occupy that 3 spot for me. Along with Sure Bet.
