    Parabola, but I want to try Parabajava! Missed it when I had a chance and kicking myself.

    They're just aging DDBA for an extra year. It's supposed to be back in '16. Helldorado will be the summer release this year.

    I know it's so non-BA of someone to say this, but my favorite is Pale 31.

    Parobola, no contest. However, Union Jack is incredibly delicious and it deserves the honorable mention. :slight_smile:

    I've drank a lot of stouts this winter (actually if you want to call 80 degrees on average a winter). Modern times barrel aged beer, Barrel aged Speedway along with a few other 30 dollar a bottle beers. I had my first Parabola of 2015 a few days ago and was blown away by the taste and body of the beer. Easily the best beer I've had in the last year.

    Like OP, I am lucky enough to have access to all FW beers (I live 40 minutes from the brewery), so I've had pretty much al of them, bottle and tap only. I have to say overall, Stickee Monkee and Parabola are untouchable, but for everyday, I'd say the green label Double Jack. If you get that fresh, it's one of the best IPAs in the country, in my opinion.

    I've never had anything from FW as they don't distro to my area :slight_frown:

    Hoping to try a bunch someday though, it all looks so good!

    Does anyone know if they will distro to Florida in the future. They are a breweries I'm super anxious to try.

    Sucaba got me into craft beer but that parabola is what got me into a crazed hunter

    They brew everything so well. Double Jack is probably the best year round DIPA we get in New Hampshire, but I would bathe in Parabola if I could. A bumber that my local store only gets a case of 6.:slight_frown:

    Quoting myself, but. ... Gotta agree with folks about DDBA. Highly overlooked in the FW portfolio.

    I have not had all of them, but Sucaba might be the best beer I have ever had. Paired it with some good blue cheese and my taste buds almost exploded.

    Parabola is great too...

    4. Velvet Merkin
    5. DDBA

    I haven't had Stickee Monkee

    Too close for me to pick a clear cut favorite, but I narrowed it to three.

    PNC
    Maltose Falcons
    Parabola

    I do like their Barrelworks offerings, but my preference is towards their huge BA beers.
