    What are the best beers brewed in Wisconsin that you can find at any time, year round?

    NG Moon Man
    NG Scream IIPA (assuming this is year round now)
    Any IPA, DIPA, or Pale Ale from Black Husky
    O'so Convenient Distraction (assuming this is year round)
    MKE Brewing Hop Freak (the newest fresh batches are ridiculously good)
    Lakefront Fuel Cafe and Riverwest Stein

    These are a few of my favorites that I can find at my local stores at any time (if not sold out).

    In no particular order, for me:
    Karben4 Fantasy Factory
    NG Black Top (Maybe it's not year round anymore?, but I thought it was at one point)
    NG Mooman
    Lakefront IPA
    Lakefront Extended Play
    Lakefront Fixed Gear
    Central Waters Hop Rise
    Pearl Street Me Myself and IPA (gotta give some love to the local brewery)
    Pearl Street Java Lava (same)
    Potosi Snake Hollow IPA
    Potosi Cave Ale

    As far as year rounders go, NG Moon Man for sure. I also like Valkyrie Brewing's Big Swede Stout. Angry Minnow's River Pig Pale Ale is really growing on me as of late too. Although, I'm in very rural NW WI and I don't see things like Black Husky, Karben 4, or some of the other notables mentioned above.

    I can't wait for the day that Fantasy Factory can be found throughout WI, on shelves. And pretty sure Black Top is not even brewed right now...it's a rotating beer, IIRC.

    Blacktop is out right now, but it is no longer brewed year-round.

    I feel like Lake Louie Warped Speed Scotch Ale deserves a mention in this thread.

    Has Hop Freak change significantly from the first batch? I bought it when it was first released and was not a fan.
