Top 5 Beers +One

Top 5 beers all time (I'm thinking of being on an Island stranded forever with 5 everlasting taps)

Tree House Juice Machine
Tree House Haze
BA Vietnamese Speedway
Prairie Apple Brandy Noir
Westvleteren XII

Beer that got me into the craft... Delirium Tremens

 

My list would be completely different depending on the day of the week, or time of year...

Weihenstephaner Festbier
Pretty Things Jack D'Or
Green Flash Green Bullett
Westbrook Mexican Cake
Creature Comforts Tropicalia

Back In the day beer: San Miguel Dark

 

Not by ranking but my love of the beer. I have drank higher ranked beers but these are the ones I would sell my soul for to drink daily.
Pliny
Todd the Axe Man
Pseudo Sue
Last Snow
Tie Hop Drop and Roll / Sip of Sunshine

Beer that got me into craft. Dating myself but I knew from my first sip of Sierra Nevada that what I had previously been drinking was nothing more than flavored water.

 

Man... This is tough.

1) Parabola
2) King Henry
3) Fou' Fone
4) SPON Methode Geuze
5) Sherry Atrial



+1) Arrogant Bastard Ale.

 

Here' my highly subjective list. I've been drinking IPAs, fruited sours and stouts with more regularity that ever before. I probably need to diversify my beer palette next year.

No particular order here:

Trillium DDH Fort Point
Fremont Field to Ferment Citra
Mikerphone Imperial Smells Like Bean Spirit
Perennial Coffee Abraxas
Cantillon Fou Foune
Casey The Cut: Montmorency Cherry

 

Top 5 would be (no particular order):

BC Vanilla Rye
TH Julius
TH Green
2015 BC Rare
TG King Sue or the real TG Psuedo Sue

Beer that got me into craft was Two Hearted.

 

tired hands strawberry milkshake
modern times blam blam

hop stoopid was the first beer that made me think "maybe I should take a break from keystone lite 30 packs"

 

1. Double Stuffed Oreo Fudge Bucket - Angry Chair
2. Hunahpu
3. Last Snow
4. Salted Chocolate Stout- Angry Chair
5. Imperial Stout- Founders

Yuengling started it all

 

I'm going to take away Abrasive, a bit disappointed in what I've had so far. I'm going to add HF Ephraim, just a great beer that's hard to get if your not 30 mile radius of Greensboro Bend Vt.

 

1. Oskar Blues BA Ten Fidy
2. Victory V-12
3. DFH 120 Minute IPA
4. Weyerbacher Sunday Morning Stout
5. Founders Backwoods Bastard

Not my first actual craft beer, but to be perfectly honest, the beer that introduced me to the different flavors beer can take on is the Gingerbread Blue Moon Seasonal. My first actual craft beer was Sweet Baby Jesus.

 

Top Five
1. Parabola
2. KBS
3. Pliny the Elder
4. Alpine Nelson

Beer that actually got me into craft beer is Redhook ESB

5. Sun King Fistful of Hops

Fat Tire was my inaugaration! Now it pales in comparison, obviously, but I thank New Belgium for bringing me into this world!

P.S. I obviously prefer IPA's, but have a love for a good stout as well. Bourbon County is epic!

 

Top 5

When I was 22 I started working in a liquor/beer store and that's when I got into craft beer. My gateway was probably Boulevard Wheat and maybe Two Hearted. Those are two of the first beers that I remember drinking and just thinking wow, maybe all beer shouldn't taste like Keystone.

 

I used to like Sam Adams Boston Lager. About 10 yrs ago I was in a Trader Joe's looking at beer. A bottle of Old Rasputin caught my eye. I kept looking at beers and kept going back to "Old Raspy". I thought the label was great. Someone asked if I was going to buy it, I replied that "I didn't like like Guinness". He said, " it ain't Guinness", so I tried it. It became my "go to" beer. Ten years later, I'm still nuts about it. So, in not particular order.
Old Rasputin
Ten-Fidy
Founders Imperial Stout
Founders Breakfast Stout
Stones Imperial Russian Stout
and then the IPA's............
If the label doesn't say say Imperial, or Double, then it's a glass of water.

 

1. Pliny the Younger
2. Pliny the Elder
3. Firestone Parabola
4. Sip of Sunshine
5. Focal Banger

My first love Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

 

What an incredible find-Perrin ?!
