    As others have said, it's CBS with a huge gap then the rest.

    Hell, I go to KBS Week every year and wait for the CBS to be tapped. There's been years where they actually cut me off from the CBS bc I guess there is no physical way that one could just drink it all day and night.

    The first couple are really easy:

    Backwoods Bastard and Imperial Stout.

    After that, it can vary based on my mood, but I'll say Mosaic Promise, CBS and Red's Rye (when fresh).

    Honorable mention to Centennial/All Day/PC Pils. The 15pks of 12oz cans for ~$15 at most grocery stores near me are some of the best values in beer right now.

    Haven't had redankalous, Lizard of Koz, or CBS so if having those then maybe they'd override the above. But man it's actually hard to get a top 5, Founders makes some Damn good brews.

    Yes! It's good to see someone else who loves PC Pils.

    I'm really surprised to see anyone who has had CBS not put it at number 1. Had it twice and the second time I didn't think it would measure up to the hype I had created in my head. It absolutely held up and then some. I can't wait to get my hands on it again.

    My list:

    1.CBS



    2.Backwoods Bastard
    3.KBS
    4.Red Rye IPA
    5.Breakfast Stout

    and the one to just miss the cut that I'll throw in another shout out to is PC Pils. Damn good stuff

    I've never had CBS. I need to revisit Centennial and All Day one of these days. I think I only tried those once and neither one left much of an impression. I'll give PC Pils another shot too one of these days but that was a big let down (was hoping it would be like Hoponius Union by Jack's Abby).

    Yeah, only 5 is tough. But here goes...
    KBS
    Backwoods Bastard
    FIS
    Porter
    Dirty Bastard

    If it was Top 8 I'd add FBS, Curmudgeon, and Red's Rye. :wink:
